620HP ABT Audi R8 Spyder GTS Unveiled

Audi tuner ABT has unveil a new addition to their customized Audi R8 line up with this brand new ABT R8 V10 Spyder GTS.

What sets this R8 apart from the rest is the extensive use of carbon fiber panels for the body of the car. According the ABT, many hours of research have been poured into determining the best layout for the carbon fiber panels. The result is a perfect weight distribution and lower center of gravity. Apart from that, the carbon fiber body panels also give the R8 a distinctive and aggressive look.

No ABT tuned Audi is complete without performance gain. The 5.2 liter FSI V10 engine in the ABT R8 produces 620 horsepower, an increase of almost 20% compared to the 525 horsepower of the standard engine. The power improvement comes from an ABT Power Kit which includes an engine retune and a sports exhaust system.

Handling has also been improved with a new suspension setup and the use of light weight alloy ABT BR wheels measuring 9×20 front and 11×20 rear. New rear diffuser and adjustable front and rear spoiler further improves stability and aerodynamic of the R8.

The dry carbon fiber with red paint theme also makes its way into the interior with the seats wrapped in red and black leather. The steering wheel, center console, shifter, safety belts and door panels also spot red carbon inserts.
