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.

Audi R8 with 830 HP

Audi R8 is the most expensive but also one of the most luxurious cars from the range of this German manufacturer. Also, it is one of the more desirable cars for tuners such as VF Engineering, which has prepared an equipment kit for all three versions of this model (R8 V10, R8 V10 RWS and R8 V10 Plus).

The main component of the system is an Eaton TVS2300 compressor with an air-water cooling system. The package can be combined with the 5.2-liter V10 engine without additional hardware modifications, making it fully reversible. The result is 830 hp (610 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque when using 91 octane fuel. There is also a slightly cheaper package that provides 800 hp (588 kW) and costs $31,995.

VF Engineering uses a sixth generation TVS2300 supercharger that comes with Eaton’s latest generation four-blade rotor. The compressor is connected to a water-cooled cast manifold with additional cooling provided by a separate water tank and heat exchangers not connected to the engine.

VF Engineering also offers a bright green body color, which will cost an additional $3,000.
