The U.S. division of ABT Sportsline has rolled out a range of aftermarket goodies for the latest Audi Q8 and SQ8 (see video). Both can be optioned with an engine tune, new body kit parts and wheels, and a bit of interior bling.
Those who opted for the entry-level 3.0-liter V6 engine may get an upgrade to 406 PS (400 hp / 299 kW) and 549 Nm (405 lb-ft) of torque. The twin-turbo V8 can be massaged to 640 PS (631 hp / 471 kW) and 849 Nm (626 lb-ft) of torque, a healthy 140 horsepower above stock. Tuned like this, the normal SUV becomes even more powerful than the range-topping RS Q8 – at least, on paper.
ABT offers carbon-fiber accents for the front fenders and the roof spoiler and suggests replacing the stock wheels for fully forged HG- or GR-series rims sized 22 or 23 inches large. Both sets weigh roughly 40% less than their stock counterparts.
The interior makes do with the usual ABT fare – a carbon-fiber trim for the shifter, matching dashboard/seat back trims, and a few other minor tweaks like that.
