Max Verstappen drives Audis whenever he isn’t racing a Formula 1 car. The four-time F1 World Champion was recently spotted driving an ABT Audi RSQ8 Legacy Edition in Monaco.

As you may have guessed, the RSQ8 Legacy Edition by ABT Sportline is not a regular RSQ8. Limited to just 125 units, it is not only more exclusive but also packs a greater punch than the standard model.

The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine has been tuned to produce 760 hp and 723 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The increased performance is a result of specific modifications, including a tweaked engine management system, a new intercooler and a stainless steel performance exhaust. ABT has also re-tuned the air suspension and electronic roll stabilisers.

ABT has also given the RSQ8 Legacy Edition an aggressive body kit, which includes a carbon fibre front splitter, side skirts, a rear diffuser and spoiler.

The SUV gets a carbon fibre grille surround, carbon louvres on the hood and carbon inserts on the fenders. It rides on bigger wheels wrapped in skinnier tires.
