The ABT Audi R8 V10 Gives the Iconic Car More Power Than Ever

— May 21, 2013 — Autos
The Audi R8 is a name synonymous with power, luxury and style, but the ABT Audi R8 V10 looks to push the level of these notions to the extreme. ABT has fine-tuned the engine within the R8 to make it go faster and move in ways never before thought possible.

The overall horsepower of the ABT Audi R8 V10 is 600, which is up 75 from the 525 of the original vehicle. This power is put to solid use with the top speed reaching almost 200mph, which is rather staggering, but seemingly commonplace from the vehicle modifier. The new specs also include a suspension that puts it closer to the ground -- for better handling -- and a completely new exhaust system.
