2007 Abt AS4 Audi A4
The new Audi A4 is definitely the premium model of the middle class cars. All the more when it is additionally improved by Abt Sportsline. The exceptional vehicle shows self-confidently that it is a real winner. With the front skirt, accentuating the headlight area, the Abt AS4 appears aggressive and powerful. Actually, the designers from Kempten managed to enhance the sporty charisma of the car without changing its elegant nature. Like the serial version coming from Ingolstadt, also the AS4 is a wonderful, very comfortable car for longer travels, but much sportier and more agile. Thanks to the well done body kit, one can see these strenghts. Side skirts and fender insets harmonize with the striking front and the extremely dynamical rear. Impressive is the rear skirt inset underlining the effect of the mighty 4-pipe rear muffler.

The rear spoiler is not only an interesting stylistic element, it also makes sure that the AS4 never loses grip.

For the A4, a range of ultra-modern engines is offered, and they all are a perfect basis for the engineers from Abt Sportsline. For example, the new 1.8 TFSI, upgraded with Abt Power from 160 HP (118 KW) to 200 HP (147 KW). The mighty torque of 310 Nm then offers the shear force. With Abt Power S the engine even provides sporty 240 hp (177 kW). Equally good choices are also the self-igniting engines. With Abt Power, the 2.0 TDI achieves 170 hp (125 kW), with Abt Power S even 200 hp (147 kW). The serial two liter Turbodiesel offers 143 hp (105 kW). The Abt engineers know how to make reliable 230 hp (162 kW) out of the 2.7 TDI’s 190 hp (140 kW) (Abt Power), while they modify the strongest Diesel, the 3.0 TDI with 240 hp (175 kW), to maximum 300 hp (221 kW), thanks to Abt Power S. Then an enormous torque of 600 Nm is available. With Abt Power, also the three-liter Diesel becomes a real power pack. 270 hp (199 kW) and 550 Nm torque unveil the athlete in the AS4.

I was reading AutoWeek's first drive of the new A4, and this paragraph caught my eye:

"The interior is simply fantastic. A8 and R8 customers, let alone A4 owners, will feel at home. The comfort level is incredible, and the quality of the materials looks great. Audi's string of gorgeous interiors continues unbroken."

I'd think that quote matters a whole lot more than what people who look at press shots say...

BTW, I don't like this bodykit.

Mixed emotions about this car. It looks a little too radical/ricer-like.

looks almost as boy-racer as the IS-F. Of course, the owners here willingly subject themselves to this customization, whereas an IS-F owner gets stuck with the ridiculous cladding if he just wants a go-fast auto.

Btw - I thought ABT was supposed to be conservative? Take a look at the S5 posted elsewhere.

I agree.

I saw an Acura NSX today with a body kit and a huge wing on the back in addition to the stock wing.

I had to pull over and vomit on the side of the road :(
