2016 ABT Audi Q7: A Refined Marvel on Four Wheels

The 2016 Audi Q7, redesigned and reimagined by ABT Sportsline, has seized a commanding presence in the SUV domain with its fusion of luxurious comfort and innovative features. It's not just the smooth silhouette that distinguishes this Audi offering from its predecessors; it's the comprehensive tuning that projects an aura of sportiness to the hilt, a balance of power and elegance, hinting at the changes made beneath its hood.

Aesthetic Transformation

When ABT Sportsline's CEO, Hans-Jürgen Abt, speaks of the 2016 Audi Q7, he describes it as "lighter, more streamlined and sporty" compared to its decade-old forebear. This is not just a marketing platitude, but is evident in the external tweaks that his company has deftly incorporated into the vehicle. They've reshaped the front skirt, door strip attachments, and fender inserts while also introducing a fetching rear skirt set that includes a muffler system. And for those who desire their SUV to exude a sports car vibe, an optional ABT rear wing is available, adding another layer of sophistication to the Audi Q7's overall design.

King-Sized to Emperor-Sized: Customization at its Best

Just as a king-size bed promises comfort and roominess, so does the 2016 Audi Q7, albeit on a grander scale. But ABT Sportsline does not stop at standard. They offer a wide-body kit for those who desire their SUV to command an even more majestic presence, to become the "emperor of the motorway". This kit, which includes additional ABT rear and front fender extensions, amplifies the vehicle's width beyond the standard offering. The enhanced rear skirt set with the muffler system could be a separate order for those who prefer customizing their Q7 their way.

Powering Up: Performance Unleashed

The 2016 ABT Audi Q7 is not only about exterior enhancements. The German tuners also turned their attention to the vehicle's alloy wheels. For the market launch, the Q7 was introduced with the dynamic FR design in 10 x 22’’ with 305/30 R22 tyres. This high-performance package blends perfectly with the QS7's athletic exterior. There are also hints that engine performance upgrades are on the way for this model, a promise that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the already compelling ABT QS7.

Final Thoughts: The Metamorphosis of an SUV

When it comes to the 2016 ABT Audi Q7, the transformation is not merely cosmetic. The SUV evolves into an emblem of harmonious coexistence between lavish comfort and sports car-like dynamism, a potent statement in the automotive world. Despite its obvious improvements, it will be intriguing to see how the promised engine upgrades will further elevate this vehicle's driving dynamics. As of now, the 2016 ABT Audi Q7 continues to solidify its position as a triumphant makeover, setting new benchmarks in the domain of luxury SUVs.
