  • 2014 ABT Audi RS5-R is Capable of Reaching Top Speed of 290 km/h

    2014-ABT-Audi-RS5-R-THUMB2014 ABT Audi RS5-R is an exceptionl tuning, which deserves our attention. The reason it grabbed it was that it can reach 100 km/h from standstill in just 4.3 seconds, while its top speed stands at the 290 km/h. In order to achieve such a performance, the popular Audi tuners from Bavaria sent the production sports car Audi A5 to the training camp. The result is marvelous: it  now produces 470 hp (346 kW) and 440 Newton metres (324 lb-ft) of torque.

    Behind these figures however, stands the work of the engineers, which have added new body kit to the high-performance coupé. The martial look of the car, met the lightweight construction and a host of functional details.

    Precisely, the carbon front skirt with AeroFlics improves the airflow. The low side skirts and the rear skirt as well as the striking wing also comprise of the high-tech carbon fibre material. In addition, ABT Sportsline also added special inserts for the front fenders.

    RS5-R appears like a real racing car. This is due to the big 20” ABT rims of type ER-F20 that come in “black magic” color. An interesting fact is thah the lightweight, forged alloy wheels only weigh just 9.3 kg each. They were fittedd with 275/30 ZR20 high-performance tires.

    The new exhaust system made a significant contribution to the performance increase. As a matter of fact, ABT offers it in two variants. The first one is the conventional style in serial tail pipe look, while the second one is an alternative side-pipe variant going out of the left skirt of the vehicle. The gigantic tail pipe is a feast for the eyes and the ears.

  • ABT Audi RS5-R

    ABT Sportsline has presented the fabulous Audi RS5-R. It pack styling and performance modifications as well.

    The 4.2 liter V8 is boosted to 470HP (346 kW) – 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 303 km/h (187 mph). The huge performance triggered by revving up is very, shall we say, sound-variable, because ABT has indeed mounted an amazing sidepipe, ending shortly before the rear axle on the driver’s side.

    “In the RS5-R, we combine our motor sport competences and the development of roadworthy vehicles in an ideal fashion. On the race track, power isn’t everything. Balance and weight are equally decisive.” commented Hans-Jürgen Abt, ABT Sportsline’s CEO.

    There are a lot parts made from carbon fiber – assertive front skirt with side flics, the front splitter, side skirts, rear wing, rear skirt and bonnet with its impressive air outlets. Weight-optimised super sport-type wheels round it all off. The wheels also combine a top design with sportiness: ABT uses the elegant forged ER-F in 9.5J x 20” fitted with 275/30 R20 Continental tires.

    The interior boasts black and red Alcantara. Racing stripes on the sport-type bucket seats, carbon door panels, 4-point safety belts and a roll cage adorn the driver’s “work station”. The sport-type steering wheel is ergonomically perfect and features an LED shift indicator and a carbon-Alcantara mix of materials.
