Abt Sportsline: VW Touareg tuning
Abt Sportsline, the German tuning house that has had much success in reshaping products in the Volkswagen Group portfolio, now applies its expertise to the VW Touareg, with impressive results.
Working with the updated 2007 Touareg, Abt tweaks several of the engine offerings. The 5.0-liter V10 TDI that powers the Abt VS10 is hiked to 360 horsepower, while the 4.2-liter gasoline V8 in the Abt VS8-R jumps to 500 hp.
The tuner also has upgraded the suspension system and brakes. Abt Level Control (ALC) is offered with the optional air suspension. Customers can order Abt AR wheels in sizes up to 22 inches.
A full aero body kit for the Touareg bundles front spoiler lip, side skirts, fender extensions, rear skirts, rear wing and a quad-pipe exhaust system. The effect is a lower, wider look for the massive off-roader.
