The new Audi A8 unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show is without a doubt a very handsome car and now it’s got even better. The tuning masters from ABT Sportsline in Germany have turned the elegant A8 into a beast.
Called the Audi AS8 the car features a new wider front spoiler and side skirts. As standart ABT AS8 customers will get 20inch wheels, but if that is not enough ABT will fit 21inch for a little extra euro.
ABT also replaced the ECU and managed to squeeze 385 PS (283 kW / 380 hp) and 880 Nm (649 lb-ft) of torque from the 4.2liter TDI engine. This is a 35 PS (26 kW) and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) compared to a ordinary A8 4.2TDI.
A spokesman from ABT said that they haven’t changed the A8 into a sports car, but into a sporty yet confident and stylish limousine.
Sadly the guys from ABT are not planning to sell the AS8 into a US territory.
