Abt Motorsports is more than just a tuning shop - they supply and sponsor one of the biggest teams in Germany’s DTM race series. So when they step up with aerodynamic and power upgrades for some of the best cars in the world, they don’t just add show, they add go. The Abt Aud AS5 is no exception, receiving a new appearance and a power upgrade.

The 3.0L TDi turbodiesel gets a bump to 300hp from a stock 240hp. Torque is a typically massive diesel output of 600Nm (442lb-ft) at just 2,400rpm. The extra power comes by way of engine tuning and an Abt Power S turbo kit. To handle all the extra power - and the new top speed of 264km/h (164mph) - Abt has fitted a new suspension and a 380mm brake kit.

Exterior upgrades inlcude a two-tone paint job, a body kit and a new rear spoiler. Wheels are BR 20inch alloys, although as with all Abt kits, you can substitute any wheels you like. Inside, the AS5 gets a custom Abt steering wheel with nappa leather rim. Carbon-look leather accents and aluminum pedals and gear shift finish off the package.

A diesel with 300hp that gets to 100km/h (62mph) in just 5.3 seconds - and it can still be driven to work and back, with diesel fuel efficiency. Even better than the original, which is what Abt does best.

Nice job!

Unobtrusive design and powerful appearance - this is what the Abt AS5 stands for. With a discerning eye on the detail Abt enhances the elegant Audi Coupé with its breathtaking, pleasing contours and the stretched flanks. The team from Kempten has managed to upgrade the unique vehicle without changing its character. With the two coloured paint and the Abt body kit, the AS5 appears like a mannequin in an extravagant designer tailor-made suit.The front skirt, in which a grid element accents the front fog lights and the single-frame grill, the strikingly curved lateral parts, the fender insets and the gill-shaped air inlets form a shapely unit. The Coupé is a unique and beautiful car, no matter from which perspective. The rear skirt inset with the diffuser excellently harmonizes with the 4-pipe rear muffler, together with the perfectly designed rear spoiler it accentuates the rear of the vehicle. As ideal complement, Abt recommends the new BR wheel in 20 inch. With its superposed spokes, the wheel seems to rapidly move forward although it is standing still.

The Abt AS5 is not only optically a real sports car. In Essen it is presented with the powerful 3.0 TDI engine which, thanks to Abt Power S, now brings 300 HP (221 KW) onto the road instead of the serial 240 HP (176 KW). The torque of 600 Nm is getting free at already 2400 rpm and provide for shear force in all situations. Also impressive is the acceleration of the self-igniting engine. Exactly 5.3 seconds needs the car from standing still to 100 km/h, the top speed is 264 km/h - values which suit to a sporty Coupé like the Abt AS5. In order that the impressive power remains controllable, Christian Abt, motor sport professional, excellently adjusted the Abt thread sports suspension in detail. And the Abt brake system with discs 380 millimeters diameter powerfully grips.Abt multifunctional sports steering wheel, soft nappa leather grip and carbon look leather adorn the driver's workplace. Abt aluminium pedals and gear shift knob complete the sporty accent in the interior. A successful masterpiece can be seen at the ESSEN MOTOR SHOW, the Abt AS5. The only downside is: It wants to be driven and this, unfortunately, is impossible in the exhibition hall.
