The German tuner ABT announced its most powerful tuning package for the TT
yet, the ABT POWER S. With it, the TT's 2.5-liter engine achieves 501 hp, which
is enough to propel the small coupe up to 181 mph. The TT-RS, as the modified
model is called, sprints to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds.
Even the less powerful package, called ABT POWER, boasts 420 horses under
the hood. The "lesser" TT accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds
(series: 4.4 seconds), on its way to a still-impressive top speed of 175 mph (282 km/h).
Driving enjoyment, sportiness and a feeling of DTM and ADAC GT Masters champions - at ABT the abbreviation
"RS" now more than ever stands for Racing Sport.
Christian Abt is responsible for the
excellent driving characteristics and perfect tuning of the ABT TT-RS. "Maximum
motorsport feeling with maximum everyday usability" - that is how the
experienced racing driver characterizes the features of the new Bavarian car.
ABT says that anyone who drives the ABT TT-RS will know what its features are, and even
those who only get to see it for a short time will quickly recognize which mould it
is cast from: this is because before you can count to three, the powerful
Kempten car is already off and away.
As a suitable addition to the fast ABT TT-RS it is recommended to mount the classy sports alloy
wheel creations BR and CR in standard 20 inch. The latest highlight is the
ABT CR Superlight in a sporty
19 inch. The design wheels are, of course, also available in combination with
high-performance tires. Anyone who wants to travel fast needs suitable tires -
and Christian Abt has used his experience to also take care of this: "The car is
controllable in all situations. Only by ensuring this it is also fun to drive a
sports car on the road."
