Widebody Audi SQ7 Takes Shape Thanks To ABT Sportsline

ABT’s new wide-body aero package for the updated Audi SQ7 consists of an aggressively-designed front skirt add-on, fender extensions, door strip attachments, rear skirt add-on and an end pipe cover set.

The German tuner will also let you opt for a slim body kit version, without the fender extensions. Meanwhile, the fender inserts or the carbon fiber ABT rear wing are available as optional extras.

With performance, you get the same update in power for the 4.0-liter V8 diesel as before, where instead of 429 HP (435 PS) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque, you now get 503 HP (510 PS) and 715 lb-ft (970 Nm) of torque. It’s not a great deal more, but it should be noticeable.

In a straight line, this SUV will now go from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 4.6 seconds, which is pretty good for a heavy diesel-powered family hauler like the Q7, meaning it’s now quicker than something like a stock BMW X5 M50d. Then again, the unmodified SQ7 was already quick enough, needing just 0.2 seconds more to hit 62 mph than its ABT-tuned counterpart.

Other mods include the ABT sports wheels which measure 22-inches in diameter and can be had in three different designs: Sport GR (glossy or matte black), HR Aero (dark smoke) or HR-F (shadow silver or dark smoke).

As for the interior, the tuner will provide you with various carbon fiber elements for the dashboard, center console (like the shifter) or seat frames, while novelties include the ABT start-stop switch cap with illuminated logo and ABT integrated entrance lights.
