As someone used to say around here, the RS-R Avant from Audi is indeed a sinister-looking monster from the start, and adding a bunch of updates from a tuning company, could make it really ugly, or could transform it into something unique.
Speaking of something unique, ABT Sportsline from Germany is well-known from transforming Audi models of all sorts into masterpieces; and this is exactly the case with our Audi RS-R Avant displayed in the media gallery below.
How Is It at the Exterior?
This is actually one of the 125 cars built by ABT Sportsline and sold for at least 206,000 euros, with a series of updates involved at the exterior, interior and under the hood. As you can depict from the media gallery below, the model in question stands out from the crowd with a new carbon fiber aero kit.
The most evident piece is the massive carbon-fiber front splitter, while the wheel arch vents on the fenders provide greater stance. The addition of the massive 22-inch alloy wheels, make the Audi RS-R Avant by ABT more imposing. They are wrapped with 285/30/22 Michelin Pilot Sport 46 tires as standard.
Performance Wise
It is not a secret anymore that the new 2020 Audi RS-R Avant was built with a huge power and torque from the factory. This means a hair-raising 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. But with the tuner`s new Power R performance package, this is raised to a whopping 730 horsepower.
Mechanical bits
Each power raise comes with a series of modifications under the hood. In this case, ABT Sportsline tuning company added a modified turbocharger, along with a new intercooler and some new electronics at the engine. The result for the 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged pot is staggering – 730 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque.
With that in mind, you can imagine the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h; in this case, we are talking about 3.2 seconds, which is way faster than a standard RS 6 – four tenths faster – making it one of the fastest station wagons in the world. Ain`t that impressive or what?
Other bits that help improve performance and torque refer to sport dampers on both axles, new height-adjustable sport springs that bring the car closer to the ground by 1.1 inches. And if that is not enough, you can also request a modified Dynamic Ride Control suspension with a coil-over setup. All these ingredients make the 2020 Audi RS-R Avant by ABT Sportsline worth every penny. Enjoy the media gallery with the gorgeous station wagon.
