ABT Sportsline launches 1,000‑hp Audi RSQ8‑LE 1000 limited‑run super SUV

German tuning firm ABT Sportsline unveiled the ABT RSQ8‑LE 1000, a limited‑run super SUV based on the Audi RS Q8. The model is restricted to 30 units worldwide and delivers 1,000 horsepower from a heavily modified twin‑turbo 4.0‑liter V8, aided by a water‑ethanol injection system that cools the engine under high load. It can reach a top speed of 320 km/h and requires 102‑octane fuel. Drivers can monitor fluid levels, system status and engine parameters via the myABT smartphone app.

The vehicle features extensive carbon‑fiber bodywork, a matte gold‑accented exterior, 23‑inch forged wheels with 295/35 ZR23 tires, and a stainless‑steel quad‑exhaust. Inside, the cabin combines Alcantara and exposed carbon with bespoke badging. ABT provides a two‑year or 100,000‑km warranty for the powertrain and the water‑ethanol injection system, while the remaining Audi components retain the factory warranty. The Bulgarian‑language coverage highlighted the model’s claim as the fastest crossover in the world, noting its 320 km/h top speed surpasses rivals such as the Aston Martin DBX707 and Lamborghini Urus.
