German tuning firm ABT Sportsline believes the facelifted Audi S4 needs a little bit of help in the performance and to a lesser extent, the styling departments and so it has come up with a new tuning package for the sports sedan, which it calls the AS4.

Under the hood, ABT optimizes the engine electronics and adds a sports exhaust system to lift output from 328hp (333PS) to 429hp (435PS) and peak torque from 440Nm (328 lb-ft) to 520Nm (383 lb-ft).

The extra grunt from the 3.0-liter force-fed V6 helps the AS4 reach an electronically limited top speed of 282km/h (175mph).

The tuner also offers a choice of alloy wheel designs in sizes 19- and 20-inches wrapped around in the appropriate high-speed tires plus some mild cosmetic add-ons such as the front fender air vents.
