Limited-Run Audi Q7 by ABT Sportsline Kicks-Off

ABT Sportsline is well-known for its dedication in customizing Audi models. Now practically being “adopted” by Volkswagen Group, the aftermarket shop has the challenging task of providing the newest models with more aggressive looks and performance upgrades.

It is exactly happened to the 2018 Audi Q7, the model receiving a handful of updates which increase its massive and intimidating body style. The task should have been an easy one, given the car`s stock advanced aerodynamics.

Ironically, ABT Sportsline has not prepared the below Audi Q7 for the 2017 SEMA Auto Show, yet will still be unveiled in Las Vegas at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

This special edition is limited to just 10 examples and comes with a bespoke carbon fiber, comprising a front skirt, roof-mounted spoiler, fender extensions or rear diffuser with custom muffler and pipes. Here and there, a keen eye would also observe the carbon fiber touches on the front lip, grille and rear skirt. The new aero kit is complemented with a new set of 22 x 10 alloy wheels courtesy of renowned tuner Vossen Wheels and finished in Stealth Grey.

The customizations continue inside the cabin. For this special model, the aftermarket specialists have chosen some fine materials, like Alcantara inlays on the sports seats, ABT Sportsline logo, as well as the ‘1/10’ badge on the door sills and dashboard. Just like on the outside, the carbon fiber elements are also present on the dashboard, gearshift knob or seat panels.

Just like most of their bespoke Audi models, ABT Sportsline have left the engine intact. This means the Q7`s 4.2-liter V8 pot still develops the stock 350 horsepower and 440 Nm of torque, which is not bad at all, considering the massive body style.
