ABT Sportsline Gives All-new Volkswagen Touareg 380 HP

ABT Sportsline tuning house prepared a body kit and a performance package for Volkswagen Touareg. The German’s SUV so became much more sporty and aggressive.

The Bavarian tuners of ABT Sportsline have presented the public a body kit and a performance for Volkswagen Touareg. On the exterior, the German SUv received a revised front grille, new side skirts, a rear diffuser and a massive spoiler. For the ABT’s equation to be complete, the German model will benefit from a new exhaust system and a set of 22-inch alloy wheels.

But the German’s surprise comes from under the hood of the SUV. For the version with the 3.0-liter engine, the German tuners have prepred 2 stage of the performance package. The first stage kit increases Touareg’s power to 282 HP and 375 lb-ft, and the second stage develops 306 HP and 450 lb-ft.

But ABT Sportsline’s icing on the cake comes with the 4.2-liter engine, now featuring 380 HP and 642 lb-ft of torque. “More power wouldn’t hurt with a car as diverse as this, but it was important for us that the tuning suited the characteristics of the Touareg”, said Christian Abt, General Manager of ABT Sporstline.
