Normally, European tuners don't pay too much attention to an aftermarket show like SEMA->ke216, but every so often, some do make the trip across the pond. This year, one of Germany's biggest tuning firms will be in attendance at SEMA, and it's not only bringing a program to the event, it's actually announcing its plans to expand its business into the U.S.

That's right: ABT Sportsline is coming to America!

But before ABT officially sets shop in Los Angeles beginning next year, the German tuner will be at SEMA to introduce its new program for the Audi A6.

Billed as the Audi AS6, ABT Sportsline's programs for Audis->ke14 have become legendary. The same can be said for this new AS6 program, which comes with a plethora of new aero components, including an ABT front spoiler, fender inserts, side skirts, carbon-look mirror covers and a rear spoiler that was installed in combination with a rear skirt kit.

As far as power upgrades are concerned, the AS6 also boasts an upgrade that turned the output of the A6's 3.0-liter, TDI engine to an impressive 286 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. That's an impressive spike from the sedan's original 240 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque.

As far as ABT Sportsline's invasion of America, the company will be looking to put its stamp on Audis in America the same way it's been able to do in Europe, where it's considered one of the best Audi->ke14 tuners.

“We look forward to being part of the SEMA’s 50th anniversary party," Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of ABT Sportsline, said in a press release. "With the ABT AS6, the more than 100,000 trade visitors at one of the globally most successful automotive fairs can see a perfect, detailed and dynamic total package."

2014 Audi A6

Audi's luxury sedan returns with a 2014 model that may look the same as its predecessors, but still cool enough for us not to mind it at all.

A host of new upgrades have also been fitted into the 2014 model, including new LEDs, a new front grille and a bunch of engine options that's highlighted by a 3.0-liter, supercharged V-6 making 325 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. That's good enough to sprint the sedan to 60 mph in only 5.3 seconds and up to a top speed of 130 mph.
