German based ABT Sportsline is well known for their work on different Audi models. Their new project is called ABT AS5-R and is based on the Audi S5.

Engineers at ABT have added an ABT Compressor to the standard V8 which now develops 510 hp (stock S5 has 354 hp). The AS5-R reaches 100km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, top speed is 292km/h (181 mph).

To handle such power ABT has upgraded braking system and the new ABT Coil-over suspension system has been added, which helps bring the potential power onto the road.

Exterior changes include new front spoiler, grille, inner fender skirt, grill-shaped air inlets, fog lights, rear skirt and 4-pipe rear muffler. AS5-R rides on 20-inch BR alloys in combination with high performance tires.
