ABT Unveils 626-HP Cupra Formentor VZ5 635 Limited to 30 Units

ABT will build 30 cars for Germany, Austria, Switzerland through Cupra dealers.

Overview

  • ABT’s VZ5 635, which the tuner unveiled Thursday, lifts the Formentor’s Audi 2.5-liter five-cylinder to 626 hp and 700 Nm.
  • The power jump comes from an ABT turbo, a larger intercooler, ECU tuning, and Indirect Water/Ethanol Injection that cools intake air for a denser charge.
  • The myABT app shows the injection fluid level, and ABT claims a 300 km/h top speed while withholding 0–100 km/h times and final pricing.
  • Two-way adjustable coilovers and sport anti-roll bars target Nürburgring demands, and ABT describes the setup as calm enough for daily use.
  • ABT will produce 30 cars from Cupra’s 4,000-unit VZ5 run for sale via official dealers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
