Toma barbacoa Sinister Looking ABT Audi SQ8 Is Out For Super SUV Blood With 641 Horses Under Its Hood MAY 20, 2021 Joining the likes of the diesel-powered version in ABT Sportsline’s catalogue, the Audi SQ8 TFSI can now dare take on the super SUV class. With the tuner’s new engine control unit installed, the bi-turbo 4.0-liter V8 kicks out 650 PS (641 HP / 478 kW) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) of torque. Thanks to that 143 PS (141 HP / 105 kW) and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) boost over the stock model, the 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint time drops from 4.1 to 3.8 seconds.

That means straight-line performance is on par with the RS Q8, whose V8 develops 600 PS (591 HP / 441 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft).
