Many people think first of the Olympic Games in Munich when they talk about 1972. But there was also a lot on offer for car fans, as several epoch-making models saw the light of day 50 years ago. One of the most important of these athletes took to the starting line with four rings on its chest: the Audi 80 B1. After the successful 100, it was the second model to drive the image change of the Bavarian company. Ignoring the renaming of the series in 1994 and going by market segment alone, nine generations of the bestseller have been created to date. "We have taken care of all generations of the Audi 80/A4, which is now one of the most important pillars in our vehicle tuning division, and we have been able to offer customers a tailor-made package in each case over the many years," explains Hans-Jürgen Abt, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ABT SE. While the first B1s still had to make do with 95 tuning HP (70 kW), the spectrum for the current Audi RS 4 – standard output 450 HP (331 kW) only ends at 530 HP (390 kW). The associated ABT Power R performance upgrade consists of the high-tech ABT Engine Control unit, additional water radiator kit and air intake cover.
