The Successful Seven: 7 times more ABT POWER for the latest Passat

The Volkswagen Passat is a car for almost anybody. No wonder, then, that it comes with many different engines. ABT Sportsline, having enhanced this medium-sized car since its launch in 1973, takes account of this diversity: from now on seven different ABT POWER variants are available.

One will increase the highly efficient 1.4 TSI’s power from 150 hp (110 kW) to 180 hp or 132 kW and its torque from 250 to 290 Nm. The 1.9 TSI will now show 210 hp or 154 kW (production car: 180 hp/132 kW). Here, torque is also up, from 250 Nm to 310 Nm.

With the turbocharged 2.0 engine, the most powerful one, the TSI is rated 336 hp (247 kW), up from 280 hp or 206 kW. But ABT also turns the 220 hp (162 kW) variant into a dynamic piece of engineering: 290 hp or 213 kW are quite something, with torque in both engines now at 420 Nm (production version: 350 Nm).

And the latest Passat is also successful with its 2l turbo diesel. The leading enhancer of cars produced by the Volkswagen Group has three upgrades available: the 150 hp (110 kW) version is now rated at 170 hp (125 kW) and 380 Nm (production car: 340 Nm), the 190 hp (140 kW) at 215 hp (158 kW) and a torque of 440 Nm (production car: 400 Nm). The most powerful 2.0 TDI version now shows 270 hp or 199 kW, up from 240 hp (176 kW). Its maximum torque is now an incredible 540 Nm (production version: 500 Nm). This ABT Passat doesn’t only attract fans, it also gets them wherever they may want to go.

But whatever engine and ABT POWER variant you may choose, the perfectly designed body kit will always fit: front skirt add ons, front grille add ons, side skirt add ons, mirror covers, a rear spoiler and the rear skirt add ons incl. an exhaust system and tail trim on the right as well all make this Volkswagen appear even more assertive.

These components underscore the car’s racy touch, even more so in conjunction with
ABT springs and a CoG lowered by 35mm on the front axle and 30mm in the rear. The ABT sport-type anti-roll-bars also make for a better handling. And the ABT sport-type wheels go very well with the extra power and the assertive look – and with whatever wheel you choose: the CR, DR, ER or FR in 18’’ to 20’’ or the DR also in 21’’. Needless to say that the wheels also come complete with high-performance tires.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...
