ABT Sportsline has unveiled the “evil” ABT RS Q8-LE based on the updated Audi RS Q8 performance. The crossover completes the Legacy trilogy (LE – Legacy Edition), which includes the ABT RS 6-LE station wagon and the RS 7-LE liftback, and acts as an alternative to the RS Q8 Signature Edition.
Actually, they have the same engine – a “biturbo seven” V8 4.0. But if on the RS Q8 Signature Edition the unit develops 800 hp. power and 1000 Nm of torque, then on the RS Q8-LE – 760 hp. and 980 Nm. ABT Sportsline installed a new intercooler, a stainless steel exhaust manifold and changed the firmware in the control unit. The suspension was recalibrated for the increased power, including the installation of the ABT Level Control controller, which allows you to lower the “pneumatic” even further compared to the standard one.
The crossover's aerodynamic package is made of carbon fiber with a matte finish, the diameter of the individually balanced wheels is 23 inches. The steering wheel "petals", inserts on the front panel, transmission selector and seat covers are made of composite.
All this will cost the buyer 95 euros plus the Audi RS Q900 performance itself. The car will be produced in 8 units.
