Kempten-based tuning specialist ABT Sportsline has created the AS8 tuning program for Audi’s heavyweight saloon, the S8.
Already producing an impressive 382 kW (520 hp) and 650 Nm (479 lb/ft) of torque in factory form, ABT’s Power Kit allows the 4.0 TFSI twin-turbocharged V8 engine to develop 456 kW (620 hp) and 780 Nm (575 lb/ft), which means that 100 km/h (62 mph) appears in 4 seconds, while 200 km/h happens a mere 9s later and top speed is limited to a more pleasurable 290 km/h (180 mph).
Other upgrades include ABT’s Level Control module, which allows adjustment of the car’s ride height, and a choice of wheel options including the CR and DR (pictured), in 20 and 21-inch diameters.
