ABT Sportsline 2012 – Press release CW 04
The new ABT AS4 is sporty, assertive and chic!
Congratulations!
With the launch of its very latest version, the Audi A4 turns 40! This means a
full four decades of success, first for the Audi 80, then for the A4 – and ABT has been part of this success from
the very beginning. “The A4 is an important car for us, too. It always re-defines the premium standard for medium-sized cars,” says Hans-Jürgen Abt. The renowned Bavarian tuning company’s CEO is proud to be able to present the new ABT AS4
on the occasion of the series model’s fortieth anniversary: “Our AS4 is
definitely state-of-the-art. It combines sportiness and assertiveness,” Hans-Jürgen Abt explains. The AS4 is a most dependable car in every
situation. But it also means sheer pleasure!
In terms of
better performance, ABT Sportsline always provides balanced packages that are fully geared to the respective car and the requirements of the owner. An ABT is
always a dynamic vehicle, and for its whole life at that! And what the engineers came up with for the new AS4 has been mercilessly endurance-tested, of course. The figures read as follows. ABT POWER lends the top model 435 hp (320 kW), up from the original V6 petrol engine’s 333 hp (245 kW): this fast ABT only needs 4.8 seconds to go to 100
km/h from a standstill and is very torquey indeed, with a top speed of 282
km/h. And the 3.0 TDI is a real fierce car: In its ABT POWER version, the turbo diesel engine shows 282 hp or 207 kW
(serial version:
245 hp/180 kW). Its torque is 560 Nm, up from 500 and certainly enough for
every situation. And the “little” four-cylinder version, the 2.0 TFSI, has also
undergone an ABT POWER treatment. Up
from 211 hp (155 kW), the petrol engine now shows 275 hp (202 kW). Whatever engine
you may want to buy, you will always get a lot of added sportiness and agility.
And of course you will always be able to tell a true ABT from a less powerful car. That was so 40 years ago and it also applies to the new AS4. ABT has developed body parts that underscore the car’s character and make it self-confident and dynamic but without seeming arrogant, as it were. The front air dam is fully in line with the striking lights of the AS4, almost pressing the car down onto the road. This sporty approach is continued
by the ABT Sportslinedesigners in the side sills and wing
inserts. Aerofoils, rear apron inserts and the two two-pipe exhaust systems
round off this very, very sporty – and stylish – car’s design. And last but not
least, there are the ABT alloy wheels: Be it CR Silverlight or DR – they are all perfect for the new ABT AS4. Needless to say, they are also available in combination with high-speed tyres. After all, the AS4’s success story is to be continued
– on blacktop!
