2002, the Touareg marked Volkswagen’s powerful way into the domain of SUVs. "Even for Abt, the car was absolutely new territory," explains Hans-Jürgen Abt. Back then, the managing director of Abt Sportsline did in fact have doubts about the market opportunities of the heavy weight: "But the SUV has become a great success, and meanwhile the Touareg and the Audi Q7 belong to our success stories. "Of course, one reason for this is the fact that the Allgäu-based tuners particularly stress the “S” in “SUV”. Abt has also made the optically and clearly improved version of the SUV from Wolfsburg very sporty. At the moment, three diesel engines are available, and all of them come with a power increase. Especially remarkable is it when driving the popular 3.0 TDI which now, thanks to Abt Power S, offers 300 HP (221 KW) instead of the serial 225 HP (165 KW) and works with a torque of 600 Nm.The 2.5 TDI conduces to enter the segment of noble SUVs, getting from Abt, thanks to Abt Power, 195 HP (serial 174 HP) or 143 KW (serial 128 KW). Abt Power R offers 500 HP (368 KW) instead of the serial 350 HP (257 KW). The Abt Suspension, which is tailor made for the requirements of this extraordinary vehicle, guarantees that the enormous power potential of the Abt Touareg can be handled while driving. The comfortable air suspension with the innovative Abt Level Control (ALC) is also available for this version. Even in risky situations the Abt brake system bites with a firm grip and brings the car of 2.4 tons to a standstill. 2 comments: Abt Touareg toz (6686) - Posted on 03.2.2008 what top speed and miles per gallon does 1 have?
