whoever wrote this article is uneducated...

this is ABTs S7 conversion NOT the A7 conversion (AS7).

They say that this is the A7 with the V8?!?!?

Guess what the A7 with the V8 is NOT an A7!! It's an S7

What? The author states "This car has the new v8 engine, so to be precise it’s an S7"

article title.... read it: abt as7 based on audi a7.

poorly written considering we are a headline society... I looked at this and was wondering why you were posting old news.... to find out they were actually talking about the S7.

Very nice.

My first Audi was a 1983 ur-Quattro Coupe hatchback ( the rich man's Scirocco as we called it back then , LOL ) that I had ABT modify in 1984 at their Orange County US facility .


The company has always done tasteful mods that the sophisticated buyer appreciates, as opposed to the stuff other German tuners do that appeal to 15 year olds .

One thing the ABT AS7 does tell us, at least one tuner has already gotten 90-100 more hp out of the S7 motor.

I think it looks good too... Not over the top. I don't like the wheel styling, but the 21" fits the car much better than the small 20" IMO
