Abt Tunes the Audi R8 Print E-mail

ABT tuned Audi R8 

Abt Sportsline, the largest tuner for the Volkswagen of automobiles, has recently announced Abt R8, a new tweaked coupe to face off against the Maranello F430, Porsche's 911 Turbo, and it's blood rival, the Lamborghini Gallardo.  A carbon fiber hood covers up one of the sexiest V8s around--a 4.2 liter Abt supercharged powerplant.  Power output after the forced induction treatment tops out a 530hp!  The famous Audi all-wheel drive system pounds the 20-inch wheels into submission and forces them to move the car from 0 to 60 in less than 3.9 seconds and onward to a top speed of almost 200mph.  A state of the art adjustable racing suspension will also be added to the R8, so the pilot may adjust height, pressure, and flex for the road ahead.  This masterpiece is set to launch this fall and that seems like an eternity away from present, after seeing just how beautiful this car is.
