According to the advertisements, the new Golf GTI is made for guys who have been tough men all along. Abt Sportsline has taken the VW slogan to heart and has converted the cult object from Wolfsburg into a car for real guys: The talk is about the Abt Sportsline Golf GTI with 230 hp.
Abt Sportsline, based in Kempten, has made sure that the GTI follows the original's tradition. To better reflect its power, the German-based tuner has given the car an optimised outward appearance as well - including a front spoiler lip and carbon lip, bonnet in carbon fibre, side skirts, rear skirt, and a rear muffler with four chrome end pipes. Clearly this is a vehicle for the toughest of drivers.
This is further evidenced by its power dates. Underneath its muscular body is the impressive power of 230 HP (147 to 169 kW) and 310 Newton metres. The engineers of Abt Sportsline made suitable measurments to the motor management to accomplish this increase, providing a change of 30 HP and 30 Newton metres compared to the standard model. A result this powerful produces a top speed of 241 km/h and a sprint of 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds.
To ensure the best-possible driving pleasure, the Abt GTI features a sport suspension kit, that is adjustable according to individual requirements and operational area and can be lowered up to 55 millimetres. It also improves the vehicle's steering sensitivity and cornering even in tight corners. And with light alloy wheel SP1, installed by Abt Sportsline, the GTI provides superior grip on the roads.
The interior of the Abt Sportsline Golf GTI also highlights its particular attention to detail - with its steering wheel, red Recaro sport seats and GTI floor mats bearing the characteristic Abt logo. The GTI from Kempten is truly a vehicle for tough guys.
