Abt AS8 (based on the new Audi A8)
The AS8 features a new front spoiler, aggressive side skirts, a revised rear apron, and stylish 20-inch wheels (21-inchers are also available).
In terms of performance, Abt tweaked the 4.2-liter TDI engine to produce 385 PS (283 kW / 380 hp) and 880 Nm (649 lb-ft) of torque. This represents a modest increase of 35 PS (26 kW) and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft), compared to the standard car.
According to Abt, the "AS8 has been optimized to meet the high demands of its drivers: ABT Sportsline has not changed the elegant glider into a racing car, but carefully into a confident and sporty automobile."

I dont know why, but I wont become friend with the new A8....Rear too A4 and the front too big grill. The previous A8 looked good, but this one...too much for my taste. Hopefully it looks better in person

I agree 100%. It does look a bit better in the flesh, but not good imo. The interior is pretty sick though, you can really tell that it's a luxury car when you sit in it.
