ABT hands facelifted (TDI-badged) Audi S5 Sportback more grunt…

By: CAR magazine

German tuner ABT Sportsline has revealed its tuning package for the Audi S5 Sportback TDI, handing the diesel-powered five-door some extra grunt.

While the S5 TDI’s 3,0-litre turbodiesel V6 generates 255 kW and 700 N.m in standard guise, the addition of ABT’s newly developed engine control unit pushes peak outputs to 282 kW and 760 N.m. ABT hasn’t announced the tuned S5’s performance figures, but there’s no doubt the updated model will be a little quicker from 0-100 km/h than the standard car (which manages a claimed 4,9 seconds).

ABT also throws in a set of height-adjustable suspension springs, allowing the S5 Sportback to be lowered anywhere from 15 mm to 40 mm. Optionally, buyers can also specify ABT anti-roll bars, while various wheel styles, including the ABT Sport GR 20-inch alloys pictured here, are available.
