What's all this about?
ABT Sportsline has come up with a series of body modifications for the new Audi Q7. The package is designed to emphasise the fact that the new model is lighter, more streamlined and sporty than its predecessor.
What do you get?
ABT's standard package consists of a new front skirt, door strip attachments, front wing inserts, rear skirt and replacement exhaust muffler. A rear wing is available as an optional extra.
If the standard kit doesn't provide the desired effect a 'wide-body kit' is also offered. This adds front and rear wheel arch extensions for a touch of extra visual presence. If you don't want the whole kit, the rear skirt set and exhaust are available without buying either the standard or wide-body kits.
Aftermarket alloy wheels are also available to go with the body modifications; ABT offers its 'FR' design in a 10 x 22-inch size, wearing 305/30 R22 tyres.
Any mechanical upgrades?
At the moment the modifications are purely cosmetic, but ABT promises that performance upgrades are in the pipeline.
