Audi B8 S4 Tunes:
ABT Sportsline has released the ABT Audi S4 performance upgrade program. The ABT Sportsline Audi S4 is powered by the 3.0 TFSI V6 engine that outputs in standard form 333 HP (245kW) and 440 Nm of torque. With the ABT Audi S4 power pack takes these numbers up to 435 hp / 320 kW and 520 Nm of torque. the top speed of the ABT Sportsline Audi S4 is 282 km/h and the 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time is 0.5 seconds faster than the standard car which means the custom S4 can reach the mark in 4.6 seconds.
The tuners at MTM have begun tweaking the all-new 2010 Audi S4 (B8) in Europe, and as expected, Audi's new supercharged 333-hp 3.0-liter V6 is rife with potential. With only a revised ECU – no underdrive pulley, intake or exhaust mods – MTM was able to coax 430 crank horsepower out of the blown six – 97 hp more than stock. The kit, which retails for 2,491 euros (around $3,500 USD), brings torque output up to 380 lb-ft and, according to MTM, drops the 0-60 mph time from 5.2 to 4.6 seconds. Clearly, good things are on the way for the BMW 335i fighter, and we expect more to follow when the new darling of the Euro-tuning scene arrives in the States later this year. More upgrades to the engine/exhaust should be out soon to take this rascal to the low 4 second 0-60 range. IMO this ABT car looks very nice indeed. Last edited by gonzo; 08-31-2009 at 08:46 AM.. |

Not a fan of the busy rims. The rear is what I really like. Minus the barage of emblems.
BBS LM's ....BiNgO!

The OEM front is just not cutting it for me. A smooth continuous across section at the bottom would look sharp but not really doable.

The S4 looks a lot better in person and it's subtle lines really suit both Audis overall image and the type of car it is. Though a slightly more aggressive front design would give it the separation needed between it and the S-Line, possibly the nose treatment from the TT-S.
Everywhere else on the design is just right in my opinion. |

^ It is the same deal with the MB tuners. You have to pay to play in the non-turbo world for some reason.
A tune/exhaust and some cosmetic work and I think it's a potential winner. ![]()

Strongly considering this for my next car. I need something cheaper to insure and better on gas.

^ Are you talking about the ABT car or the OEM?
I posted it and commented that I liked it, ABT kit, because I don't like the dullness of the OEM front. The fascias I posted a few posts up are more to my liking. All the co's will be tossing their kits out shortly giving buyers plenty of choices. Tame to crazy.
