ABT Audi SQ5 Sportback

Audi's SUV from the D segment that hides behind the SQ5 badge is powered by a three-liter V6 turbocharged petrol engine that develops 367 hp and 550 Nm of maximum torque. Far from average, but still not enough for the specialists at ABT who took care of the additional "stable".

The potential of the turbocharged V6 engine that powers the current SQ5 is enough for the Audi SUV, which is offered in two body styles, to reach "hundreds" from a standstill in just 4.5 seconds and reach the electronically limited 250 km/h without any special hesitation. More than enough for most, not least for the enthusiasts at one of the most famous German tuning companies that deals (also) with cars from Ingolstadt.

For owners of the Audi SQ5 Sportback in Kempten, they have prepared two tuning packages that will make the SUV even more attractive, powerful and faster. With the basic package offered under the name "Abt Power S", the engine power is 440 hp, but there is also the "Abt Power R" option with which the driver can count on 470 "horses" and 650 Nm of torque, which will (with better intermediate acceleration and unchanged top speed) ensure that the SQ5 reaches 0 to 100 km/h even faster.

With the additional "stedt" have also arrived new carbon body components that make the SQ5 Sportback look even more "warlike", which is also contributed by the matte black quad tailpipes of the adaptive exhaust system, and behind the ultra-light 22-inch black ABT EVO rims with 255/35 tires, new springs are hidden, with which the ground clearance is lower by 45 millimeters.

For all the elements that come with the "Abt Power R" package, including installation costs and TÜV inspection, you need to set aside 24,520 euros. ABT emphasizes that all components can be ordered separately. Good news for those who do not want to change the original look of their SQ5; for 4,590 euros they can count on an engine that develops 440 hp.
