The A5 Cabrio is a convertible in a bespoke suit. This is made possible by the ABT Sportsline technicians. We have four tuning packages at the ready. Thanks to ABT Power, our electronic motor management optimisation, the 2.0 TFSI is tuned from 180 hp (132 kW) or 211 hp (155 kW) to 275 hp (202 kW). The 2.7 TDI’s 190 hp (140 kW) become a torquey 230 hp (169 kW). The 3l diesel-powered engine has 282 hp or 207 kW (serial: 240 hp/176 kW).
For the largest cc V6 compression-ignition engine, there is also ABT POWER S, which also employs an ABT turbo charger. 310 hp (228 kW) then make your car superior in any situation, with a torque of 620 Nm. Of course, such power has to be domesticated, as it were. The ABT braking system or ABT sports braking system fit the tuned Audi A5 Cabrios and make for additional safety at the threshold.

It is ABT’s family tradition to make an engine perform as well as possible. Be it an optimisation of the electronic engine management, turbo chargers or compressor retrofitting – performance increases are what we do and want to do. No wonder, then, that we are the global No. I tuner of cars produced by Audi, Volkswagen, Seat and Škoda. And given our experiences gained in racing we also know that it isn’t only about power, it is also about stability. Only the two factors combined will make driving such cars real fun - permanently.
Be it a petrol-engine or a diesel-engine - modern cars require an electronic engine management. It is the brains, responsible for capturing, analysing and translating into specific commands all the pertinent data and parameters like engine temperature, air and fuel masses. This optimisation is the job of the specially developed ABT Power Software. It guarantees an ideal performance at equally ideal consumption levels and also sees to it that your engine is not driven too hard. You can rely on it and make your Audi A5 Cabrio perform best.
Engine technology sees a constant development. Thanks to high-tech electronics, cars are now getting ever more perfect. And in terms of performance, a new era has now also been ushered in by ABT Engine Control. Specially developed for the latest engine generations to optimise the optimum. The advantages are obvious: If you have two “brains”, either can focus upon what it does best. For ABT Engine Control, this means. All performance-relevant measurements and parameters are analysed, fine-tuned and translated into ABT POWER commands in an extra control unit. And for you, this means maximum fun and even more safety. Even if there is a defect, which is highly unlikely, the fixed ABT Engine Control unit is still fully functional.
A better performance in the same exhaust emission category. A better performance does not necessarily mean higher CO2 emissions. At least not with ABT. While a serial model of the latest engine generation emits 0.9 to 1.0 g/hp, using ABT Power and ABT Power S reduces this level to down to 0.7 g/hp.
So the hp-based CO2 emissions are lowered by up to 30 per cent. A better performance, but no higher CO2 emissions. And the previous exhaust emission category still applies.
