Audi S8: Abt Sportsline S8 gives an extra 100 hp

Sport limousines are scarce. Sport Limo's with more than 600 hp even rarer. Meet the Abt Sports line AS8 with up to 620 hp and a top speed of 300 km / h!

Make no mistake with the Abt AS8 two years ago, that was a diesel. No wretch with 350 hp and 880 Nm, but AS8 based on the recent Audi S8 is the real work. With 780 Nm torque, while less powerful than the diesel-AS8, but equally no less than 620 hp at the crankshaft. Standard supplies the donor model 520 hp and 650 Nm.

Sprint
Abbot says it with ease even more power from the 4.0 liter TFSI V8 could get, but they temporarily stop here. We would thus have best life. Although the car weighs two tons, the AS8 a serious sprint limousine. From rest to 100 km / h only takes about four seconds. Not ten seconds later you exceed the 200 km / h. These are impressive times, let alone that of the intermediate sprints. Thus, the AS8 but 2.8 seconds to do 60 km / h to 100 km / h acceleration while the bucket in the fourth resistance state. From 80 to 120 km / h in fifth gear takes only 3.5 count your patience. And his top? That is 290 km / h. Governed!

Maximum control
"The AS8 combines the best of both worlds," says Hans Abt. He thus suggests comfort and sportiness. For whom the latter may still be sharper, there is the optional Abt Level Control, which AS8 even further lowering and improved handling guaranteed. Also carry the wheels with this movement. They come in different flavors (DR and CR) with a choice between 20 or 21 inches.
