ABT Sportsline, renowned for its expertise within the VW Group, is venturing into Lamborghini territory. Presenting their latest endeavor, the ABT Urus Scatenato, whose name translates to "unleashed" or "wild" in Italian. This limited-edition masterpiece, capped at just 99 units, promises to embody its moniker by delivering a harmonious blend of performance and exclusivity.
Drawing from their experience with enhancing Audi sedans and wagons, ABT takes a page from their playbook by starting with the Lamborghini Urus' performance-focused variants. Their approach involves amping up the power while introducing subtle design refinements. The Urus Performante, already a powerhouse in the engine department, boasts 666 horsepower thanks to its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine. However, ABT's remarkable Power R technology somehow conjures an additional 144 horsepower, elevating the driving experience to unparalleled heights.
In harnessing the added horsepower, ABT has fine-tuned the aerodynamics of the Urus Scatenato. The SUV now boasts a streamlined spoiler, complete with a central blade up front, complemented by a revised rear skirt and wing. These refinements not only amplify the Urus' already striking presence but also generate additional downforce to enhance performance.
Consistent with the theme of understated enhancements, the extensive use of carbon fiber is a defining feature of the Urus Scatenato. It graces various aspects, including the engine compartment cover, release mechanisms, and engine cover. Step inside, and you'll find the dominant design element to be the glossy exposed carbon fiber, adorning elements like the seat frame trim, gearshift, and various other interior accents.
The exterior of the Urus Scatenato also embraces the allure of exposed carbon fiber, extending its sleek touch to mirror caps, wing flares, side skirts, and hood vents. This meticulous attention to detail adds to the menacing allure, beautifully complementing the striking ABT High-Performance IRL 23-inch wheels. Furthermore, the exhaust system, equipped with ABT's 4-pipe titanium tailpipe tips, orchestrates the perfect symphony, providing a fitting soundtrack for the Urus Scatenato's powerful V8 engine.
In many respects, the Urus Scatenato bears a striking resemblance to ABT's creation from the previous year, the Audi RS Q8 Signature Edition. The Q8, which shares its underpinnings with the Porsche Cayenne and Lamborghini Urus, is equipped with a modified 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that churns out a formidable 790 horsepower. This powertrain enables the Q8 to sprint from 0 to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in a mere 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 196 mph, signifying a noticeable leap in performance compared to the standard RS Q8.
While ABT Sportsline has yet to disclose the specific performance figures for the Urus Scatenato, it's reasonable to anticipate that this dynamic iteration of the Urus will see similar enhancements. Given that a stock Urus Performante has already proven to be quicker than a Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0 around the Hockenheim circuit, just imagine the exhilarating potential with an additional 144 horsepower under the hood.
