ABT Brightener Audi RS4 Avant

If for Audi the RS4 Avant is an eye-catching van, for the ABT staff there are still some rough edges to be ironed out.

These days, you hardly see high-performance cars like this on Portuguese roads, so the risk of finding someone with a car like ours is almost nil. However, there are those who have the most exquisite taste and prefer to look for exclusive products that were later worked to become even more exclusive...

With each passing day, ABT's workforce is valuing more than the main Euronext Lisbon index – which is (quite) normal. Initially, we showed you what ABT did with the small and tough A1 Sportback, now it's time to see what the charming and eye-catching RS4 Avant looks like.

The 4.2-litre V8 engine with 450hp is energetic enough to remain immaculate – only the speed limiter has been removed, now allowing fun up to 290 km/h. Alongside this, a stainless steel exhaust has been added to add another sonic joy to the German van.

Visually, and despite the few changes, what catches our attention the most is the new set of 20-inch alloy wheels – that color in Gun Metal is exquisite. The interior was also subject to changes, after placing the custom rugs some "touches" were given to the finishes to make everything even more special and unique.
