2014 ABT Audi RS5 Cabrio - Review and Pictures

2014 ABT Audi RS5 Cabrio - Review and Pictures - The forecasts from Bavaria are unequivocal: in spring and summer 2014, wind speeds of up to 290 kph are certainly very possible, especially when the sun is shining. This is because ABT Sportsline, the globally largest tuner of Volkswagen brands, has done away with the original speed limiter of the Audi RS5 Cabrio. Now, the 450 hp (331 kW) 4.2 FSI can show what it’s really able to do. A fitting stainless-steel muffler system consisting of a mid and rear muffler underscores the eight-cylinder car‘s emotional sound.

ABT Sportsline can also supply an height adjustable suspension kit that make for a flexible lowering of the CoG. The car’s look can’t be topped anyway, although the photo car only features some key elements. “With the machine-relieved well and the gunmetal coat of paint our DR alloy wheels lend the car a new look,” says CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt about the mounted set of 4 wheels in 9.5 x 20’’. Wheel spacers do also improve the car’s handling. And the ABT wheel collection 2014 features even more attractive cast and forged wheels.

If you are looking for a very special eye-catcher to underscore the RS5 sporty characteristics, you should also choose the ABT fender inserts, which make the convertible’s dynamics even more dramatic. The ABT RS5 is thus always a fresh breeze – be it closed or open.
