In February, ABT introduced a new wheel model called ABT Aerowheel. The premiere took place on the RS6+ Phoenix car, which was built for the famous skier and motorsport enthusiast Jon Olsson. The cost of a set of such wheels is comparable to the price of a Renault Duster — 11,690 euros.
The new product consists of standard 21-inch ABT Sport GR wheels, painted in a golden Racing Gold shade. They feature aerodynamic carbon fiber overlays. This technology is used on Formula E racing cars.
The same wheels were used on the unique hybrid station wagon Audi RS6-E. Its powertrain combines a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, an electric motor directly connected to the driveshaft, and a battery pack with a capacity of 13.6 kilowatt-hours.
The total power of the hybrid system reaches 1000 horsepower, and torque is 1291 Nm. This RS6 accelerates from 100 to over 300 kilometers per hour in ten seconds. Other characteristics of the model are not yet disclosed. At the same time, the most powerful non-hybrid RS6 from ABT develops 735 horsepower and 920 Nm of torque. Such a car accelerates to the first "hundred" in less than 3.4 seconds.
