If the regular 605PS Audi S8 Plus seems a bit sluggish to you, ABT will happily add an extra 100 horses in there to satisfy your supercar-crushing needs.

In addition to the 640PS and 675PS upgrades for the regular S8, ABT introduced their options for the Plus version, making the already ridiculous figures of the German flagship even more insane at 705PS (696hp).

The 0-100km/h (0-62mph) now drops from 3.8 to 3.5 seconds with the top speed taken from 305km/h (189mph) up to 320km/h (199mph). As for the torque, there is plenty of it: ABT’s update offers a breathtaking 840Nm (619lb ft) of it, up from the regular’s 700Nm (516lb ft).

“The Biturbo-V8 is actually designed to be eligible for another upgrade without compromising its incredible features in regard to performance and applicability for everyday life,” explains Hans-Jürgen Abt.

ABT has also lowered the suspension by more than 25mm and added their own four-pipe muffler system, measuring 89mm in diameter. Customers will be able to choose the brand’s DR and FR alloys, sized between 20, 21 and 22 inches in diameter.

Feeling angry at Audi because they’ve never made you an RS8? Well, at least ABT has you covered – in every, possible way.
