ABT Upgraded Touareg TDI Packs A Punch

ABT Sportsline has set their sights on the new Touareg TDI, tuning the motor to produce 290hp and nearly 500tq, with looks to match.  Fitted with ABT’s full styling package and lowering springs, the ABT Touareg is an aggressive package topped off by 22″ ABT DR wheels.  For more info, check out ABT’s website.

Read the full release below.

There are said to be more than 70 terms for camels in the Tuareg language.  ABT Sportsline, on the other hand, provides many options to modify a VW Touareg. The globally largest tuner of cars produced by the Volkswagen Group has not only its attractive uprating but also many visual and suspension components on offer. “Our Touareg is the perfect car for automotive nomads spending a lot of time on the road and wanting to enjoy it,” says CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt.

The Bavarians have turned the Touareg with the latest 3.0 TDI into quite a “racing camel”. With ABT Power “New Generation“, it achieves 290 hp / 213 kW and 650 Nm instead of 262 hp / 193 kW and 580 Nm. Thanks to extensive tests on ABT’s own dynamometer and public roads, the carefully developed upgrade is as undemanding as it is persevering. The production car’s fuel consumption and dependability remain the same, with the latter being underscored by ABT Sportsline‘s extensive warranty.

While racing camels have to do without a front spoiler, the Bavarian tuner provides a sporty PUR (polyurethane) rear wing. The front is adorned with a front grille add-on and headlight covers. ABT Sportsline’s materials and finishes come in OE quality and make the Touareg thoroughly conspicuous, also through the various alloy wheels. Available are the CR (20’’), DR (22’’) and ER-C (20’’), optionally also in various shades and including high-performance tyres. Valve caps featuring the ABT Logo round off each respective package. In addition ABT suspension springs or the ABT Level Control, for cars with air suspension, complete the package.

Of course, ABT floor and trunk mats are also available. And be it on sand, rocks, mud or asphalt: as soon as the driver opens the door, the ABT entrance lights’ LEDs will project the right logo onto the ground.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
