Audi A8 ABT Sportsline

2011 Audi A8 will be going on sale later this year, the Audi S8 isn’t scheduled to arrive until 2013. However, if you’re impatient and ABT Sportsline has your back with their new AS8.

ABT points out that it has “not changed the elegant glider into a racing car, but carefully into a confident and sporty automobile.” While the standard 4.2L TDI V8 makes 350-hp and 590 lb-ft of torque – the ABT ECU retuning gives the sedan a total of 385-hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. That gives it the ability to run from 0-60 mph in 5 seconds flat.
