ABT's Enhancements For The 2024 Audi Q8 And SQ8 Revealed

ABT America has just shown many enhancements for the 2024 Audi Q8 and SQ8. Both the base Q8 and the more sporty SQ8 have had their engines fine-tuned by the tuner.

The default Q8's 3.0-liter TFSI V6 engine produces respectable 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, but with the latest engine control software from ABT, those numbers soar to an even more astounding 400 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque.

Even more powerful than an RS Q8, the SQ8's 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine has had software adjustments that increase output from 500 horsepower and 569 lb-ft (771 Nm) to an astounding 640 hp and 626 lb-ft (849 Nm). Numerous cosmetic upgrades are available for the 2024 Q8, as is typical with ABT's wares. The 22- or 23-inch HR or GR wheels, entirely forged and weighing up to 40% less than the standard cast wheels, are the most noticeable improvement.

Additional features include the installation of a lip on the top and the incorporation of carbon fiber inserts in the front wheel arches. The inside of the Q8 has also seen some little changes. One example is the carbon fiber accents that ABT has put on the dashboard and front seat panels, as well as the carbon fiber shift knob cover.

Next, price points. An SQ8 power upgrade will set you back $3,990, while a regular Q8 power upgrade will cost $1,990. You will pay $1,220 for the carbon fiber fender inserts and $950 for the rear lip spoiler. Depending on the style and size, the 22-inch and 23-inch wheels may cost anywhere from $4,150 to $4,890.
