ABT Sportsline continues to surprise its fans, and this time the German tuner has decided to make the RS Q8 even more special by equipping Audi’s SUV with enough power to compete with the most powerful of its rivals.
To achieve this, ABT has equipped the RS Q8 with its latest “pack,” the Legacy Edition, which includes a performance upgrade called Power R, allowing the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine’s power to increase from 590 hp and 800 Nm of torque to an impressive 760 hp and a maximum torque of 980 Nm.
In addition to this power boost, which brings this RS Q8 Legacy Edition to just 29 hp shy of the plug-in hybrid Lamborghini Urus SE, ABT has also outfitted Audi’s SUV with a new stainless steel exhaust system featuring quad exhaust pipes measuring 105 mm. This is complemented by an updated suspension, including the installation of ABT’s new electronic stabilization system (eAWS), which works alongside the ABT Level Control (ALC) electronic air suspension.
Aesthetically, the “Legacy Edition” package includes several carbon fiber details on the front section, as well as the hood. ABT has also added new side skirts and a completely revamped rear with a new spoiler and generously sized diffuser, complemented by 23’’ wheels.
Just like on the exterior, the interior also features carbon fiber details, including paddle shifters and the gear shift lever. Notable mentions include the sport steering wheel covered in Alcantara, embroidered logos on the headrests, ABT trims on the door sills, and other details that highlight the exclusivity of this limited edition.
