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.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
