The latest limited-edition, modified Audi to come out of ABT Sportsline has been revealed in the form of the RSQ8-R.

The German tuning specialist has worked its magic on the high-performance SUV, which now has an output of 730bhp and 920Nm of torque thanks to a new engine control unit. Its 0-60mph (0-97km/h) time is 3.2 seconds and buyers can also opt to increase the speed limit to 195mph (314km/h).

Limited to just 125 examples to celebrate the firm’s 125th anniversary in 2021, the RSQ8-R also gets a stainless steel ABT exhaust system that amplifies the engine noise, exiting through quad 102mm pipes that make an imposing visual statement at the rear.

Inside there are upgrades too, including a new steering wheel, start-stop button cap and gear knob cover. There are also door sills with a ‘1 of 125’ engraving and various unique badges and plaques throughout the cabin.
