The new Audi A6 Avant is designed for those who demand a broad range of abilities but a compromise in none. And this is a motto the Kempten-based company Abt Sportsline really understands. As for a long time now the Bavarians bear great passion for the vehicles from Ingolstadt. For decades they have been tuning all Audi models. On the Tuning World Bodensee 2005 the Abt AS6 Avant is celebrating its world premiere and impressively demonstrates the enthusiasm Abt Sportsline has for tuning.
The optics of the Abt AS6 Avant wakes passion and invites you to get into the car. The shapely Abt-front grill and newly designed front spoiler lip give the front sporty traits. Broad side skirts provide the AS6 Avant with a dominant roadability and underline the dynamic design of the standard model. With the rear wing on the rear offering increased downforce on the rear axis, the Bavarians demonstrate sportiness. The rear skirt inset with the 4-pipe stainless steel rear muffler bearing the Abt logo is a real eye catcher.
Especially the power of the Abt Sportsline AS6 Avant shows the passion the Abt-engineers have for tuning Audi models. A power upgrade through modifying the motor management was developed on the basis of the Audi A6 3.0 TDI. Thanks to this technically demanding method the Abt AS6 Avant performs impressive 265 bhp and a maximum torque of 550 Nm. This is a plus of 40 bhp and 100 Nm with regards to the standard vehicle.
The power of the Abt AS6 Avant is transmitted via the specially tuned suspension springs. They lower the body of the estate car by approx. 40 millimetres and thus optically contribute to the dynamic appearance. More important, however, is the optimisation of the driving characteristics. Handling is noticeably improved and the progressively operating springs permit a sportier manner of driving.
The Abt-light alloy wheels SP1-Titan are also responsible for transmitting the power onto the asphalt. The one-piece cast wheels in classical five-spoke design in the dimension 19 inch are equipped with tyres 245/35 R19 of technology partner Continental.
The world premier of the new Abt Sportsline AS6 Avant on the Tuning World Bodensee 2005 impressively demonstrates the passion of the company Abt Sportsline spanning years of experience in tuning the Audi models.
