Normally you expect tuners to get more and more power out of every engine they come across regardless of emissions and fuel economy. But ABT Sportline decided it’s time for tuners to become more environmentally responsible! So they’ve come up with a version of 2010 Audi Q7 powered by a 3.0 TDI Clean Diesel which they claim fully complies with Euro 6 emission standard, which is not mandatory yet.

The fact that they’ve achieved this with a giant SUV such as the Q7 is astonishing, but if it catches on soon the horsepower war will turn to CO2 war and whoever gets the least amount wins! And that’s just not cool, they should leave the green stuff to the manufacturers and keep providing us with big horsepower numbers.

“It is our task to meet the growing demands of ecologically sensible mobility so that the driving enjoyment still remains”, says Hans-Jürgen Abt, the General Manager of ABT Sportsline.

“The three litre turbo diesel in our ABT Q7 already meets some of the stricter regulations compared to European Standard 5, and further vehicles and engines are currently being planned and will be certified by TUV Rheinland”, explains Hans-Jürgen Abt.
