ABT Makes Facelifted Audi RS4 Avant More Interesting With 503HP RS4-S Special Edition

ABT Sportsline has released a new special edition model based on the facelifted Audi RS4 Avant.

Called the ABT RS4-S, it features a power upgrade, a comprehensive aero package, 21-inch alloys, different suspension options and new interior components.

These are increases of 60 PS (59 HP) and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) over the standard car and improve the sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) by one tenth of a second to 3.9 seconds. If that’s not fast enough, the tuner also offers the ABT Power S upgrade which takes the V6 to 530 PS (523 HP) and 680 Nm (501 lb-ft) of torque. Upon request, this power kit also unlocks the top speed increase to 300 km/h (186 mph).

The performance upgrade is accompanied by a matching ABT Aerokit which is exclusive to the RS4-S in this configuration.

Rounding out the exterior upgrades is a set of 21-inch ABT Sport GR alloy wheels with a glossy black finish. The ABT RS4-S brings chassis upgrades too, including height adjustable suspension springs and anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles. Additionally, a coil-over suspension upgrade is available for extra charge.
