DTM team Abt tunes Audi R8 V10

The Audi R8 V10 has been tuned by ABT Sportline.

The tuning pack pushes power up 14 per cent to 592bhp, shaving 0.1 seconds off the 0-62mph dash (now 3.8sec) and adding 3mph to the maximum speed, meaning the Abt R8 V10 tops out at 200mph.

Body modifications are also available, including various carbonfibre appendages. Designed by ABT Sportline’s DTM racing team, the pack includes a new front spoiler with full mesh grille, and swaps the original R8’s horizontal slats for angled vertical ones.

The R8’s side scoops are blackened, there are new side skirts, and a rear wing sits high above a ducted apron and revised quad exhaust pipes. 20-inch five-spoke alloys are also available.

The Abt R8 V10 pack will be available in the UK through Autobrokers, and will cost just over £35,000 for the power upgrade and styling kit.
