The Audi RS6, RS7 and RS Q8 are more beastly than ever: ABT takes them up to 700 CV

The world eagerly awaited the latest instalment of the Audi RS6 and RS7, a duo that has become a trio with the arrival of the fastest SUV on the Green Hell, the RS Q8. Without a doubt, many cheered these three models and their not-so-genuine performance, but some were left wanting more. This is the situation facing ABT, the company that has already got its hands on the three stars of the German brand to squeeze out every last drop of sportiness that lies within them.

It should come as no surprise that the German tuner has already worked on these three vehicles, which share their performance and their heart. With this premise, it was genuinely straightforward for ABT to set a goal and meet it across all three, since starting from the same base has made it easier for the modifications to be carried out in unison.

Although ABT has accustomed us to exuberant aesthetic changes, the truth is that it has been quite restrained when it comes to altering the design of the RS6, RS7 and RS Q8. For now, we only find larger wheels with a specific design showing the world that these are vehicles that have stopped being strictly standard.

The imposing design of these three models is proof enough that they are not ordinary cars. Let us recall that, as standard, the RS6, RS7 and RS Q8 all rely on a colossal 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine capable of producing 600 CV and 800 Nm of torque, figures that allow the 0 to 100 km/h sprint to happen in under four seconds and that their top speed exceeds the 300 km/h barrier.

However, although for any mere mortal these performance figures are more than sufficient, ABT wanted to go for more. Thanks to its performance upgrade kit, it has managed to have all three models reach an even more impressive 700 CV and 880 Nm of torque, figures that promise more radical performance even though the German tuner has not yet confirmed them.

This is how ABT has acted as irrefutable proof that the latest-generation RS6, RS7 and RS Q8 have hidden potential worth unleashing. With this premise, we can expect the German firm to go further with these three creations from Audi, which surely have room for improvement to develop much higher figures.
