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.

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.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

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...
