ABT will give your Audi Q8 a meaner face and an extra 70bhp

This is ABT’s take on the Audi Q8: it’s like a Audi Q8, but with… more Q8. You’ll get a mild power boost, extended body panels and a touch more luxury inside, clearly things the Q8 was lacking.

Regardless of which engine you take to ABT (V6/V8), you’ll get its ‘Power S’ performance pack which will coax an extra 70-ish bhp out. You’ll also have the option of throwing on a sportier suspension setup too, again another thing the Q8 sorely needs.

The aero package - finally! - includes a revised front lip, new side skirts and a redesigned rear bumper, with a sharp new rear wing for company. New quad exhaust tailpipes are available too, as are two-piece wheel arch inserts, air intake covers and 23in twin-spoke alloys. Might want to try and pick a more exciting colour though.

The cabin gets ABT’s custom dashboard and seat frame trim, with a glossy carbon fibre shifter to match and corresponding logos illuminating the door sills. Otherwise, it’s business as usual. That means LED interior lighting, four-zone climate control, a Bang and Olufsen 3D sound system and a pair of infotainment screens along the central pillar. It’s a properly nice place to be.

Pricing depends entirely on your ability to say yes or no, but a full checklist for the current Q8 TFSI E comes in at approximately £16,600.
