At our coverage of the Essen Motor Show 2008 we already had shown the first
photos of the new VW Golf by Abt Sportsline. Now we've got some further details
about the range and, additional photos. This time Abt shows a 2-door, while the
first foretaste was given by means of a 4-door. Besides a body kit, as shown
on the images, Abt offer lowering by a set of springs or a complete coil over
suspension.
An exhaust exhaust system with end tips matching the rear apron is gettable as
well as larger wheels. Two designs, naming AR and BR are available to round off
the conversion. And, to enable a closer look at and more space for the braking
system. The tuners have two different systems on store. Also the range of motor
tuning is variable.
The 122 hp 1.4 TSI model can be pushed to 160 hp. On the other hand, Volkswagen
are offering a 1.4l generating 160hp as standard. But this one can be upgraded
to 210hp by Abt. For the the 210 hp 2.0 TSI motor an extra of 30hp will be
offered. Diesel Golf drivers can get the same extra power, which makes the 2.0
TDI model 170hp strong.
