Leave a comment

German tuner ABT Sportsline is known for some of the best sports car upgrades, especially for Audi cars and the related primary Volkswagen Group brands. However, popularity also has its downsides. Recently, an unknown group of thieves stole car parts worth 300,000 euros.

Several photos have been published showing the thieves removing the rims and expensive carbon-ceramic brakes from parked cars. According to Daniel Abt, the thieves targeted seven cars in total, and the company believes that this could not have been done by amateurs, because the power supply and lighting were disabled before the theft. The police are currently investigating the case.

One of the cars from which the thieves stole the expensive forged rims and carbon-ceramic brakes is an Audi RS6. ABT believes that these parts will be sold on the black market.

Obviously, ABT Sportsline should have better security.

Urus Scatenato based on Lamborghini Urus Performante

Last year, Lamborghini unveiled a lighter version of its popular SUV, the Lamborghini Urus Performante. This is the most powerful version of this model, which the German tuner ABT Sportsline made more powerful by creating the Urus Scatenato.

ABT Sportsline is known for upgrading German cars, mostly with a focus on power. The Urus Performante was no exception, as its 4.0L biturbo V8 engine now has 810 hp (596 kW). The performance of the car is not known. It is equipped with ABT Power R technology, ABT turbocharger, a newly developed titanium exhaust system with quadruple ends, but also several carbon components that increase the car’s handling.

As a reminder, the standard Performante has 666 hp (490 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h).

ABT will offer only 99 examples of the Urus Scatenato which will be fitted with exclusive 23-inch black IRL wheels.

ABT RS7 Legacy Edition based on the Audi RS7

Two months ago ABT Sportsline presented the RS6 Legacy Edition, now the German tuner presented the RS7 Legacy Edition, based on the Audi RS7, which will be produced in 200 units.

The standard RS7 is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine with 630 hp (463 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. However, thanks to ABT’s turbocharger, new intercoolers, and new engine software, the RS7 Legacy Edition has 760 hp (559 kW) and 723 lb-ft (980 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in just 3.1 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds faster than the standard model.

The car is equipped with a modified suspension, new springs and anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles, a set of 22-inch gloss black forged wheels wrapped in 295/30 ZR22 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport tires. The company says the RS7 now has superior handling on dry roads and extremely balanced performance on wet roads.

The tuner has prepared a special equipment kit giving the car a more aggressive look, which includes front bonnet insert, front lip, front skirt inserts with the enlarged air intake grilles, wheel arch vent, mirror cap attachments, side skirt attachments and inserts, rear skirt insert and the contrasting rear wing made of carbon fiber. The four round ends of the exhaust pipes with a diameter of 102 mm, which are integrated into the rear diffuser, contribute to a better sound.
