The Enhanced 2018 ABT Audi S5 Coupe: A Powerhouse in Disguise
ABT Sportsline, the renowned tuner for the Volkswagen group, has recently worked its magic on the second generation Audi S5 sport variant. With a significant power increase and subtle aesthetic modifications, the new ABT Audi S5 manages to exude both elegance and raw power without becoming ostentatious.
Under the Hood: Performance Tuning with Precision
While the standard S5 touts an impressive 354 hp, ABT Sportsline has raised the bar considerably. After their performance upgrade, the ABT Audi S5 now boasts an astounding 425 hp. This power augmentation is offered across all three model variants of the S5 - the coupé, the cabriolet, and the five-door fastback. A substantial surge in the torque has also been noted, which now peaks at 550 Nm. What's more intriguing is that even with this considerable power increase, the vehicle’s 3.0 liter V6 turbo engine manages to maintain its integrity without showing signs of stress, reaffirming ABT's confidence in their work and the quality of their enhancements.
Sporty Exteriors: Sleek Yet Indomitable
Choosing subtlety over extravagance, ABT Sportsline equips the Audi S5 with discreet ABT emblems on the front grille and rear end, providing an understated nod to the vehicle's refined pedigree. Accompanying these emblems are ABT sports rims, available in various 19 and 20 inch variants. These rims, coupled with the newly introduced 20 inch ABT Sport GR wheel rim - available in 'matt black' or 'glossy black', hint at the vehicle's augmented power. Additionally, the rear skirt set, consisting of the ABT rear skirt add on and a special muffler system, further complements the sporty aesthetic of the vehicle.
Refined Interiors: Uniquely ABT
The interior of the ABT Audi S5 also sees a slew of noteworthy modifications. An ABT logo projection light greets occupants as they open the door, a creative addition that sets the stage for the exceptional enhancements within. From custom floor mats and trunk mat adorned with the silver ABT logo and curved lines, to the ABT integrated LED entrance light, the changes highlight ABT's focus on individuality and quality. In fact, ABT even offers an individualization service, catering to nearly any personalization requests an owner may have.
The Final Word: Transcending Expectations
In conclusion, the 2018 ABT Audi S5 Coupe is an excellent example of how subtle modifications can significantly improve a vehicle's performance and appeal. The combination of performance enhancements and understated aesthetic changes make it a compelling upgrade for Audi S5 owners. The ABT Audi S5 Coupe, with its perfect blend of power, elegance, and individuality, manages to exceed expectations, further solidifying ABT Sportsline's reputation as an outstanding vehicle refiner.
