SUMMARY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ABT RS 5-R is a limited-edition aftermarket conversion of the B10-generation Audi RS 5, offered in Avant and Sedan forms. Its specification combines an ABT Power S engine upgrade with carbon fiber body components, revised suspension, forged wheels and interior trim. ABT announced a worldwide allocation of 130 cars, commemorating the company\u2019s 130-year history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversion retains the production RS 5\u2019s plug-in hybrid configuration, with ABT quoting approximately 529 kW (720 PS) and 905 Nm of combined system output. Customers can purchase a complete vehicle through ABT or commission the conversion of an existing RS 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BACKGROUND & DEVELOPMENT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The B10 RS 5 introduced a plug-in hybrid powertrain to the model line, pairing a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with an electric motor, an eight-speed tiptronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive. ABT\u2019s RS 5-R applies the company\u2019s established limited-edition conversion approach to this new powertrain and to both available body styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The published specification distinguishes the V6\u2019s output from the combined hybrid system rating. ABT also listed a subsequent Power R upgrade and an ABT-Akrapovi\u010d exhaust system for introduction in the second quarter of 2027. Those items were planned additions rather than part of the initial Power S specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exterior conversion comprises a front spoiler with front blades, wheelhouse louvers, mirror caps, side skirts and a rear diffuser. The Avant additionally receives a rear wing with aero blades; the Sedan package omits this component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two carbon fiber finishes are offered: glossy exposed carbon and matte Carbon Camouflage. ABT describes Carbon Camouflage, which combines a carbon fiber texture with a camouflage pattern, as the company\u2019s first application of this finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversion remains based on the production Audi body structure. ABT\u2019s brochure recommends the Audi Sport Package for the donor vehicle and identifies factory carbon exterior equipment to avoid when specifying a car for conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHASSIS & MECHANICALS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ABT Power S increases the V6\u2019s quoted output from 375 kW (510 PS) and 600 Nm to approximately 435 kW (591 PS) and 680 Nm. Combined hybrid system output rises from 470 kW (639 PS) and 825 Nm to approximately 529 kW (720 PS) and 905 Nm, equivalent to roughly 710 hp and 668 lb-ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The figures are specified using 98 RON gasoline. ABT lists compatibility with the myABT app but does not identify an electric-motor power increase in the supplied specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suspension modifications consist of ABT springs and sport anti-roll bars. Gloss-black ABT EVO Performance 22-inch forged wheels and tires complete the chassis package. ABT states that top speed remains unchanged; an updated acceleration time and the amount of suspension lowering were not specified in the launch brochure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTERIOR & EQUIPMENT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interior changes include Dinamica center-console trim, dashboard covers and seat-frame covers, together with front-seat trim panels and carbon fiber shift paddles. The paddles are offered in gloss carbon or Carbon Camouflage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u201c1 of 130\u201d emblem on the center console and corresponding door sills identify the limited edition. Other equipment includes entrance lighting, floor mats with embroidered RS 5-R logos, an ABT-branded luggage-compartment mat and an ABT key cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRODUCTION & VARIANTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 130-car allocation covers the Avant and Sedan together. ABT does not specify a separate production allocation for each body style in the supplied material. Both versions share the Power S output, suspension and wheel specification, with the Avant\u2019s rear wing accounting for the principal listed bodywork difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

German launch pricing is shown below. All figures include 19 percent VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Q2 2027, the brochure lists an optional ABT-Akrapovi\u010d exhaust at \u20ac9,100, excluding installation and T\u00dcV approval. A Power R upgrade targeting approximately 800 PS is listed at an additional \u20ac4,000, including installation and T\u00dcV approval. Both prices include 19 percent VAT. The brochure does not provide a corresponding torque figure or acceleration time for Power R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
