Audi Q8: A Deeper Dive into ABT's Advanced Adaptation

In the dynamic world of automotive technology, certain standouts continue to push the boundaries of performance and versatility. The ABT Audi Q8 of 2019 is one such model that has made a lasting impression. Its innovative suspension system, coupled with other enhancements from ABT Sportsline, is a testament to the vehicle's capabilities and adaptability. Let's delve into how ABT's technological prowess is making a statement in this Audi model.

Masterful Versatility with Advanced Suspension System

At the heart of the Audi Q8's commendable ride quality lies the adaptive air suspension system. Its distinctive character shines through a variety of driving conditions, from breezing through cobbled streets to navigating tight hairpin bends and journeying through open freeways. This system exhibits a range of adjustability from its lift feature for clearing high obstacles, to its varying modes that accommodate off-road ventures and sports driving, to its function of lowering the rear axle to facilitate easy loading. Given these features, the Q8's suspension is clearly designed with a focus on both comfort and functionality.

Introducing ABT Level Control

Adding to the Q8's robustness is the ABT Level Control (ALC), an advanced solution that enables greater flexibility in controlling the car's ride height. ABT's ALC is a sophisticated software intervention that expands upon the Q8's factory settings without requiring replacement of any shock absorbers or air springs. The system provides selective lowering in selected driving modes - Comfort/Auto, Dynamic, and Loading Level - enhancing the Q8's balance between sporty agility and convenient usability.

With ALC activated, the Q8 settles an additional 25mm lower on Comfort/Auto mode and reduces height by 15mm on Dynamic and Loading modes. The changes are based on the original numbers of the respective suspension programs, ensuring stock ground clearance is maintained in Off-Road/All-Road and lift mode. Furthermore, ABT introduces a unique "Coffee Mode" which applies the extreme lowering of the factory loading setting to the front axle as well, dropping the dynamic SUV a dramatic 65mm lower than in its original Comfort/Auto mode.

ABT's Intelligent Innovation

What stands out in the ABT Level Control system is its sophisticated design that not only enhances the Q8's suspension performance but also maintains full functionality. It is an embodiment of ABT's commitment to providing customers with products that convince with their intuitiveness across all settings. This intelligent approach to modification ensures the Audi Q8's performance and versatility remain uncompromised while significantly extending its capabilities.

Audi Q8: Upgraded Elegance

In conclusion, the 2019 ABT Audi Q8 is a unique blend of Audi's signature design and ABT's technological mastery. The introduction of the ABT Level Control adds a new dimension to the Q8's performance, contributing to a drive experience that balances comfort, sportiness, and usability. This comprehensive approach to upgrade ensures the Q8 not only stands as a flagship model in Audi's lineup but also serves as an example of the potential unlocked through smart innovation.
