A modern SUV must cut a good figure everywhere - and according to this motto, ABT Sportsline has successfully tuned the Audi models Q7 and Q5. A particularly stylish element has now been added to the expressive, powerfully-dominant bodywork kits, which have been developed for the diverse quartet: the stainless steel ABT side step set. This silver design piece gives vehicles even more robust flair, without losing the overall elegant-sporty look. The integrated side steps are not just cool, and do not only perfectly fit the strong character of the Q7 and Q5, but they also offer maximum side protection against, for example, scratches. In addition the ABT side steps also increase the comfort when getting into the car, which makes sense for these comparatively high vehicles. On top of this the thorough cleaning of the windscreen is also made easier. And thanks to the anti-slip coating, secure footing is guaranteed.

The ABT side step set is available for mounting on series standard SUVs from Audi as well as on the versions upgraded by ABT Sportsline, and fits harmonically into the respective car's appearance. The classy entry aids can be ordered separately from the overall packages, which ABT has put together for these special vehicles. On the one hand they include a bodywork kit, exhaust unit and classy wheel creations, which additionally underline the prominent appearance of the Q7 and Q5. On the other hand a wide range of performance improvements are also available. Be it the 2.0 TDI, 3.0 TDI or V8 FS with 4.2 litre cubic capacity - the extra power provides an additional dose of control and is always extremely suitable for everyday use. The latest highlight is the V12 TDI of the Q7, which after undergoing power treatment at ABT now offers 560 HP (412kW) and has a massive torque of 1,200 Nm.

The SUV program from Allgäu comprises reliable technology for modern engines, suspension, braking units as well as internal and bodywork design. The ABT side step set represents the icing on the cake. With it the Q7, Q5, Tiguan and Touareg change into the ABT AS7, ABT Q5, ABT Tiguan and ABT Touareg respectively - into a maximum of a car.
