Disorderly Q7

German tuner does bad things to Audi's Q5. Louder is not better

ABt Audi Q5

Ouch. OK, we might have complained that the new Audi Q5 lacks a bit of visual traction. But that's no excuse for doing this, ABT.

If that acronym sounds familiar, well, you've probably seen it on a 'Wanted' poster somewhere in Germany: wanted for doing bad things to products of the VW stable. 

So, this Q5. You know the score: giant wheels, bigger springs, bigger brakes, a 'performance upgrade' presumably involving a new exhaust system fashioned from industrial guttering.

Oh, and that bodykit. We don't even have the energy to mock it, mock it with its absurd air intakes and silly snouty grille and general shouty-faced stupidity. We'll leave that to you.

Go on, mock it. Poke fun at the silly Q5. It deserves it.
