ABT announces Audi SQ8 performance package that boosts power to 641bhp
(Audi)
German tuning firm ABT has announced a power upgrade package for the Audi SQ8 that will make it more powerful than a standard RSQ8.
Through the new ABT Engine Control unit, power is increased from the standard car’s 500bhp to a hefty 641bhp, about 50bhp more than a factory-fresh RSQ8. It also gets 850Nm of torque and can go from 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds.
This is achieved by optimising parameters within the engine, which is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol unit. In standard trim it has a limited top speed of 155mph, but in ABT form it can hit 168mph.
