ABT Sportsline has become a leading tuner of Volkswagen Group vehicles, with a special focus on the VW and Audi brands. Now, however, the German tuner has got its hands on a product from the Lamborghini subsidiary, launching a new tuning package for the Urus.
The tuner has fitted its engine control unit to the SUV’s twin-turbo 4,0-litre V8, pushing its peak outputs from the stock 475 kW and 850 N.m of torque to an even healthier 522 kW and 910 N.m. This gives the heavyweight a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 3,4 seconds, some two-tenths quicker than the Italian firm’s claim.
Interestingly, ABT has not made an major modifications to the appearance of the Urus, instead spending its time tinkering under the bonnet. Perhaps a more extreme body kit is planned for a later stage?
Of course, this isn’t the first tuned Urus we’ve seen. In fact, Manhart Performance showed off its version back in February 2019, handing the super-SUV a whopping 597 kW, while TopCar Design went all out with its body kit. Whether Lamborghini will end up creating its own Urus Performante, though, remains to be seen…
