German tuning house ABT Sportsline keeps pushing the limits of good taste — another RS7 Legacy Edition has rolled out the door with 1,000 hp on tap. The look matches the attitude: matte Daytona gray paint, black forged wheels, silver brake calipers, and an expanded carbon fiber kit.
The base car is an Audi RS 7 Sportback with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8. The factory engine made 600 hp, but after ABT’s work, output climbs to 1,000 metric horsepower — 736 kW — and 1,150 Nm. The trick behind those numbers is both simple and brutal: a water-and-ethanol injection system feeding the mix ahead of the throttle bodies.
As for acceleration, the tuner chose to keep things mysterious. No official sprint time has been released. The only reference point: the stock RS 7 Sportback performance, with 630 hp and 850 Nm, hits 62 mph in 3.4 seconds. What an extra 400 horses does to that number is anyone’s guess.
The body gets a front splitter, sill and bumper add-ons, wheel arch vents, and carbon mirror caps. Inside, white leather with gray accents, branded emblems, fresh trim, and carbon-finished details round out the package.
Here’s the paradox: underneath all that hypercar hardware sits a genuinely practical five-door Sportback, complete with a full back seat and 535 to 1,390 liters of cargo space. That mix of absurd power and everyday usability is exactly what sets this project apart from two-seat supercars.
ABT previously unveiled a Lamborghini Urus SE with 910 horsepower.
