A huge performance boost for the Audi SQ8 SUV coupe is now available from the experts at ABT Sportsline in the form of their very popular and proven power upgrade kits. With ABT Sportline’s expert technology, its Power Software is used in an additional engine control unit, the ABT Engine Control (AEC). ABT ensures the high standard in performance increase also in new developments and high tech in the latest vehicles.
With that being said, the company is pleased to announce its all-new power upgrade for the Audi SQ8. If not for the RS Q8 model, the SQ8 would offer the ideal balance of SUV practicality with impressive performance. The RS Q8 is not only the fastest version of the Q8, it’s also the quickest of all the SUVs in Audi’s lineup. Thanks to ABT Sportline, though, the SQ8 no longer has to settle for second place when it comes to power.

ABT is the global market leader when it comes to enhancing cars from Audi and Volkswagen. For over a hundred years, the German company has utilized its engineering expertise and skills in various racing series to cater to the needs of enthusiasts looking for more power. That same diligence and proven success can be found in its power upgrade kits, now available for the SQ8 luxury sport SUV.
From the factory, the SQ8 comes powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged TFSI V8 that puts out 500 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. With the ABT Engine Control installed, your SQ8 will be treated to exceptional gains of 140 horsepower and 58 pound-feet of torque. That results in a whopping 640 horses and 626 pound-feet of torque based on 93 Octane fuel. With this, the Audi SQ8’s acceleration is now on par with its bigger performance brother, the RS Q8 – it now reaches 100 km/h in an extremely rapid 3.8 seconds.
If your SQ8 model has the 4.0-liter turbo-diesel TDI V8 engine, it delivers 435 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque from the factory. When upgraded to ABT’s power upgrade, the TDI engine now delivers a hefty 510 horsepower (+75) and can achieve a standard sprint to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. This is all made possible by the high-tech ABT Engine Control (AEC) engine control unit you see here.
