Golf equipment for the high-speed society from ABT

Three is the perfect number. No wonder that VW has three versions of its compact car champion Golf: the standard Golf, the Golf GTI and the Golf R. And ABT is providing custom-made aftermarket parts for all three 2018 models. With new side skirts and a tailgate add-on, ABT is adding some highlights to the dynamic design of the compact hatchback. The standard Golf also gets an ABT rear wing to visually catch up with its performance brothers. The Golf R does not lack performance but there is always room for a little bit of improvement with a new ABT exhaust system, especially if it comes with 4-inch diameter black chrome tips. In connection with the ABT downpipe with catalytic converter, a 2018 Golf R owner can be delighted with the increase in horsepower and show-off factor.

The 2018 Golf models have plenty of traction with their standard suspension systems, but do they also have plenty of style? With some new suspension springs by ABT the standard Golf gets a lower stance by 1.3 inches, while Golf GTI and Golf R are lower by 0.7 inches at the front and 0.9 inches at the rear. The setting can even be more dynamic with the ABT height adjustable suspension kit that lowers the front axle by 1.5 inches and the rear axle by 1.7 inches. Cutting corners becomes even more fun when additional anti-roll bars are installed.

And since three is the perfect number, ABT is offering three wheel designs for Golf, Golf GTI, and Golf R: ABT DR and ER-C wheels are available in different finishes and in sizes 18, 19 or 20 inches while the more exclusive FR wheel is only available in 20 inch and the color mystic black.

Our Warranty All our ABT parts come with a warranty of 4 years or 100,000 miles. Installing parts like aerodynamics or wheels will not void the factory warranty of the car.

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...
