Following on from its recently revealed AS4, ABT Sportsline has created a new program for Audi’s facelifted A5 Coupé, imaginatively named the AS5.

Initially, ABT will be offering its Power Kit program for two models, with the 2.0 TFSI delivering 199 kW (270 hp) – up from 155 kW (211 hp), while diesel owners can see the output from their 3.0 TDI unit rise from 180 kW (245 hp) to a more impressive 221 kW (300 hp). ABT confirmed that other engine variants will soon be catered for.

Other mechanical upgrades include a lowered suspension kit, an exhaust system with four tailpipes and a big brake conversion featuring either 345 or 380 mm diameter discs.

Visually, ABT provides a lower front spoiler, hideous fender vents, side skirts, a boot lid spoiler and diffuser insert for the rear bumper. A choice of wheels and tyres can be stipulated, including the DR (as shown) and CR Silverlight.
