|
At this year’s Essen Motor Show, the facelifted Abt Audi R8 will be showcased at the Dunlop stand in hall 3.0/131. The optical features of the Abt Audi R8 include a side skirts, front skirt, a rear skirt, a rear wing and the side blades. The Abt Audi R8 is a fantastic super sports car, playing in the same league as Lamborghini Gallardo or Ferrari F430.
No doubt, even the basis model of the Abt Audi R8 is something special - and therefore a real challenge, emphasizes Hans-Jrgen Abt. The fluently dynamic form of the car is unique, it looks like having a lot of power, even when standing still, admits the managing director and therewith he raises the bar for his engineers and designers. As it is usual for Abt, the result is quite respectable and can be driven with fascination. The light and sporty high-tech material Carbon well visibly shapes the rear skirt, the side blades and the side skirts.
The exciting body kit of the two-seater was developed by the motor sports professionals from Kempten who also optimized the car in reducing weight and in distributing mass evenly. That optical features do not obviate technical sophistications but, on the contrary, lead to perfection clearly show the contours of the Abt Audi R8. Front skirt, side skirts, and rear skirt form a unit in which the rear wing, the side blades and also the exhaust system are harmonically integrated. A special highlight is the front skirt partially made of sight carbon. It is a component of the equipment version Extravagant. The customer is able to provide his Abt Audi R8 with attachment parts, at his own option with elements of sight carbon. A two tone structure is also possible by request. This equipment version also offers the customer the possibility to beautify his R8 with an Abt body kit made of high-quality GRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic).
Also the new BR wheel from Abt with its bi-colour paint perfectly fits the car. The front axis presents it in the size 9×20 inch, the rear axis in 11×20 inch. Thus the R8 appears much more dynamical. With Abt suspension springs and car lowering the team from Kempten improves the road holding even more as Christian Abt and his specialists exactly adjusted the suspension. With the Abt sports brake system (380 millimeters diameter), the fast super sports car from the Allgu sets standards also in matters of delay.
The new Abt Audi R8 is a car which makes hearts beat faster. It perfectly brings the magic of speed onto the road even when standing still.
