As is customary for Abt, the “R” in AS7-R stands for “Racing”. And of course the vehicle based on the Q7 is a true racer. The top speed surges to approximately 260 km/h – a value that is not only impressive in the segment of the SUVs. Equipped with a supercharger, the 4.2 ltr V8 model becomes a husky performer. In comparison to the serial model, Abt has boosted the power of the AS7-R by awe-inspiring additional 150 HP. Now mighty 500 horses drive the heavyweight and manage the spring from zero to 100 km/h I just 5.9 seconds.
The AS7-R is not only an extreme sports car, it is lordly, too. The front spoiler lip and fender extensions are painted in striking matt chrome; the other body parts are matt black. The extravagant as well as discreet look is continued in the car interior. The Abt designer team from Kempten has created a high-quality concept for the luxury SUV with a leather interior package and a multimedia system developed by Abt Sportsline’s technology partner Alpine Electronics. The exceptional Rear-Seat-Entertainment System comprises, amongst others, 10-inch monitors integrated in the front seats, DVD-changer for six discs, tuner, iPod, DVB-T tuner and a Playstation 2. Handling is simple – and, of course, perfected to detail; just what you would expect of an Abt car.
In addition to the SUV “R” model, Abt also offers body styling and suspension parts for the other Q7 models. The team from Kempten has also developed a power boost for the 3.0 TDI engine. The Abt AS7 delivers impressive good looks and highlights the vehicle’s character. And this all-wheel-drive car is all but lame because Abt Sportsline has increased the 3.0 TDI engine’s power by 39 HP to as much as 272 HP. What makes the Diesel engine so special is the enormous drive. The serial Q7 from Ingolstadt already has a torque of 500 Nm, whereas the Abt version, in contrast, performs with a torque of 550Nm.
Like the AS7-R, also the AS7 was upgraded with special designer elements. Fender extensions and rear wing make the Q7 look even more powerful and present on the road. 22-inch AR wheels highlight the long sides of the SUV and accentuate its design. Abt Sportsline has succeeded in enhancing the Q7 without changing much of its character. Quite the contrary: The AS7-R and the AS7 prove that the team from Kempten has managed to emphasize a vehicle’s character even more.

Rims suit it really well and I love the rear spoiler.

wow. that side shot is awesome. looks good!

looks good, though the chrome is abit too much IMO..well, it does look good with the chrome and black combo, the specs are great, 5.9secs to 60 is really impressive...nice!

uhh...i like the other version.this looks ok ok.the third pic makes it look like a cow.never liked the a7.tooo long for an suv.

^^agreed ,, i still think looks too big for a SUV

Looks ugly.. I still prefer a Q7 in stock.. with Silver color.
thats just my opinion though..

one way or another its still a station wagon to me


although, it may be the only one i would ever drive...


outside of a demo derby anyways, :p

wow. that side shot is awesome. looks good!I second that! It almost looks like a coupé from the side.

The spoiler-thing is totally awesome. it gives it a coupé-ish shape and reduces base area. I don't know about the wheels. They're kinda cool, but maybe too cool. The spokes look too narrow for a car of that size.

WOW! Now THATS my opinion of a cool SUV!! Million times better than any tuned Cayenne!

It's those bloody rims again! You really need something more chunky to put on a Q7. You can't have really small rims on something like that because they look really out of place. I would have suggested some 26'' Gianelles plonked onto some very fat tyres.

But apart from that, the cars look very good. The Q7 remains its chunkiness and it's big, don't mess with me stance.

The exhausts are very nice, very big aswell, and the bumpers and the skirts look up to the job with far air vents in them aswell.

The power and torque is very very good aswell. Just what you need if you're a German and you're lugging a big fat heavily modified SUV around. Perfect.

WTF

thats all is in my mind rote now...

I've found this car ugly from the beginning...ugh, looks even worse now...

it's huuuuuuugggeeeeeee :p

zero to 100 km/h I just 5.9 seconds.


Kinda scary data lol

I dunno, I always have a tendency to think that 'whoever tries to tune a massive SUV should be shot', and that's exactly what I thought when I saw this.
