RamSpeed are the exclusive ABT distributors in AU and NZL, check their website or contact them for a price list. I think they release the price list at the same time when the car will be launched here, in March or April 09, I think. To me the kit looks just right esp the rear look, I def have a go at one.

I am going to order one of the q5 3.o tdi models as soon as they are available. Anyone got any idea how much an ADT version is going to cost?

‘evoking the ‘five wows’ in the words of Hans-Jurgen, managing director of ABT Sportsline – fast, beefy, extravagant and extremely versatile.’

Hans-Jurgen can’t count; unless we’re counting ‘extremely’ as one of the five wows, there’s four ‘wows’ there by my count. :-\

Agree with Naughtyius, that long snout does not translate well to a high car. Personally though I quite like this, it’s ostentatious (as desired) and the body kit is well integrated.

Wheelnut, you’re correct about the W427 front in my eyes.

its a bizarre looking thing – for example the rrear end looks like a Subaru Tribeca x’ed with a Smart Car

I’m not sure if is it just me: but if you took the Audi logo of the grille it looks alot like the front of the HSV W-427?

TonyB, the ABT upgrade will be available here as ABT makes upgrades BEFORE the car is launched, especially in AUS, as we usually get our LHD’s month after EU and US releases anyway. Don’t ask me how they do it, but ABT has close ties with Audi and they get to ‘measure up’ before cars are released at the dealers. In Germany, over 150 dealers sell ABT as new cars. ABT for Audi and VW is like HSV is to a Holden here in OZ. If you want the best, baddest Holden brand new and off the dealers showroom, you buy HSV. Same with ABT.

I really like the ABT Passat. I wonder if they will release an ABT R36.
