ABT Sportsline introduces 700 hp Audi RS6 Avant

Hot on the heels of their appearance at SEMA and their announcement to open a location in the U.S., the German tuning firm ABT Sportsline has unveiled two new versions of the Audi RS6 Avant, dubbed the ABT Power S and ABT Power. Apparently, ABT Sportsline felt that the 560 hp output of the stock 4.0-liter TFSI-engined Audi RS6 Avant wasn't enough, and tuned the ABT Power S version to produce 700 hp. That's a 25 percent increase in power over the stock version. Likewise, the torque output has been increased to 649 lb-ft. These figures reportedly give the already eye-wateringly quick RS6 Avant the ability to sprint from 0 to 60 in just 3.4 seconds, up to a top speed of 198 mph. That certainly makes for one fast grocery getter.

ABT Sportsline achieved these figures through a custom-created engine control unit, engine management modifications, and the addition of their own exhaust system. The second model on offer, the RS6 ABT Power produces 666 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque through similar modifications. Both models feature body kits and details of ABT's own creation, and this means carbon fiber touches throughout the exterior, as well as ABT's own five-spoke wheels.
