ABT gives the Audi A5 Sportback the AS5 touch! The Audi A5 Sportback is already a sporty and elegant vehicle, but ABT Sportsline has transformed it into the Audi AS5 with their tuning kit, giving it an impressive performance upgrade. Here are the fascinating details about this upgraded model:

Powerful drive: increased engine performance

There's a lot of power under the hood of the Audi AS5. ABT has increased the 1.8 TFSI engine from 170 hp to an impressive 211 hp and a torque of 370 Nm. The 2.0 TFSI engine now delivers an impressive 270 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm (standard: 211 hp, 350 Nm). If you want even more power, you can opt for the A5 3.0 TFSI, which offers an impressive 380 hp and 500 Newton meters of torque. The diesel fraction also gets its money's worth, with the 3.0 TDI engine, which delivers 300 hp and 570 Nm, and the 2.0 TDI, which provides 205 hp and 420 Nm.

Sporty appearance: external changes

The Audi AS5 shows its strength not only under the hood, but also on the outside. ABT has given the vehicle a sporty appearance, including a front spoiler lip, a rear spoiler, a rear apron and a four-pipe rear silencer. With 19 or 20 inch aluminum rims and suspension springs that allow a lowering of 25 millimeters (with the threaded sports suspension even up to 50 millimeters), the AS5 offers both performance and an impressive appearance.
