When you first view the longitudinal flank of an A7 this is a magical moment you want to live though again and again. “For us, the A7 is a car whose visual qualities have to be reflected in its performance,” says Hans-Jürgen Abt. The managing director of the Allgäu-based company emphasises that the A7 has to meet its owner’s high standards both as a premium travel car and a sports car and also both with the 3.0 TFSI and the 3.0 TDI engine. “The compression-ignition engine fits the Audi A7 best, we think. It combines torque and huge power with utmost efficiency,” says Hans-Jürgen Abt.
ABT POWER turns 245 hp (180 kW) into 300 hp (220 kW). Its huge torque of 580 Nm makes the engine superior in any situation. It is very torquey indeed. The ABT Audi A7 is made a real super sports car by a petrol engine: The six-cylinder engine is ABT-POWER-tuned to a racy 420 hp (308 kW), up from 300 hp (221 kW).

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 A7 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.
