ABT AS5 Audi A5 Sportback

ABT Sportsline has unveiled today their ABT AS5 Audi A5 Sportback program which brings both styling and performance upgrades to the new model. The ABT AS5 Audi A5 Sportback aerodynamics package includes a front apron, front grille, wing inserts and a rear spoiler. The ABT AS5 Audi A5 Sportback comes with a 4-pipe end silencer and sits on 20 inch rims.

As far as power goes, the ABT AS5 Audi A5 Sportback equipped with the 3.0 TDI engine outputs 282 PS (207 kW) with the tuner’s POWER package and 310 PS (228 kW) and 610 Nm of torque with the POWER S. This is enough to send the ABT AS5 Audi A5 Sportback from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds.

Christian Abt and his team will not sit idle for as long as Audi continues churning out new models every year. Following the launch of the A5 Coupe and Cabriolet the Ingolstadt firm announced the five-door Sportback version, much to ABT Sportline’s delight.

The engineers and designers went to work and came up with a new ABT front grille, skirt, rear wing insets and a rear skirt set. A four-pipe rear muffler helps emit what should be quite a heartening sound. The ABT wheels are diamond-cut, high-gloss polished or painted and measure in 18, 19 or 20-inch sizes. To add fun on the road an ABT suspension with branded springs and sport coilovers was fitted.

Due to ABT’s strong performance heritage the engines were also modified to go with their newly styled bodies. Bottom of the heap is the 2.0 TFSI which goes from a standard 132kW (180hp) to 202kW (275hp) and 320Nm of torque. The 3.0 TDI comes in two stages of tuning, one called ABT Power and the other ABT Power S. The former gives it 207kW (282hp) and 560Nm while the latter is good for 228kW (310hp) and a healthy 610Nm. Road performance figures were not released.
