Their recent display is the below Golf GTI Clubsport s, which has received a new styling kit and some new horses underneath the hood.

Knowing that the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport S in its newest form is an extremely aggressive sports car, coming with advanced aerodynamics, the aftermarket specialists had to find out the best solutions in terms of visuals to make it even more standout, without spoiling its original look.

As a result, they came out with the following aero styling bits – bespoke front grille, headlight covers, side skirts and side mirror caps, as well as tailgate attachment. The new look was also complemented with the tuner`s finest 18- and 20-inch front and rear alloy wheels.

The car`s main highlight remains the power boost under the hood, the technicians from ABT Sportsline tuner coming with two power kits. The first one adds around 60 horsepower and 80 NM of torque over the stock power, bringing it to a total of 370 horsepower and 460 Nm of torque. The top speed has been also raised from 265 km/h to 268 km.h.

There is also a second power kit, however, it is addressed to the less powerful model, the standard Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport. The car`s 2.0-liter TFSI engine is now developing 340 horsepower and 430 Nm of torque, quite sweet from the stock 265 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque.

Volkswagen Tiguan Is Tweaked with ABT`s Power Kit https://www.carztuning.com/2016/10/volkswagen-tiguan-tweaked-abts-power-kit/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/10/volkswagen-tiguan-tweaked-abts-power-kit/#respond Mon, 24 Oct 2016 11:25:44 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=10026 ABT Sportsline is a dedicated Audi aftermarket shop, with hundreds of models to receive special treatments, but in the recent years, the tuner has also turned its attention towards other carmakers, such as Volkswagen or Mercedes-Benz, with standout styling and performance kits to be added to their model lineups.

The Volkswagen`s new generation Tiguan has also had the chance of getting its moment of glory, the SUV receiving some power upgrades from ABT Sportsline.

Besides the slight changes at the body styling, including the choice of 18-, 19-, 21- or 21-inch ABT wheels, the car has also received new suspension system which lowers the car`s ride height by 20 mm, making it extremely aggressive and increasing its stance.

The Volkswagen Tiguan packs the company`s latest petrol burners and diesels, with just a few of them receiving some power upgrades.

The most impressive power boost was carried out to the car`s 2.0-liter diesel engine, which is now delivering two power configurations: 180 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque, as well as 251 horsepower and 440 Nm of torque.

On the other hand, the 2.0-liter TSI petrol mill has been also tweaked with 216 horsepower and 360 Nm of torque.The new performances comes with ECU remapping, new turbos and valves, and much more. Unfortunately, the tuner has not released the official numbers from 0 to 100 km/h.

Even if some of you might think that the mild power kits are not the best for this Tiguan, it is worth the trouble of getting it tuned-up in case you own a model as well.

Volkswagen Polo by ABT Sportsline https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/volkswagen-polo-abt-sportsline/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/volkswagen-polo-abt-sportsline/#respond Fri, 16 Oct 2015 15:42:38 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=5585 ABT Sportsline released a special tuning kit for the Volkswagen Polo.

This package brings both styling and performance tweaks and comes to celebrate 40 years of the model in the market. The exterior gets refreshed thanks to the new rear skirt, 18-inch alloy wheels with 215/35 R18 tires, a revised dual-pipe exhaust and a new roof-mounted spoiler.

These upgrades are offered on top of the standard features available on the VW Polo GTI, the model that ABT chose as a starting one. Under the hood sits a 1.8-liter TSI engine producing 230 horsepower and 360 Nm of torque, a decent boost from the stock 192 hp and 320 Nm.

You should expect the 0-100 km/h acceleration to be possible in under 6,7 seconds, the time that the standard model needs. We also guess that the stock 236 km/h top speed got improved but for now, ABT was scarce with these details.

Other upgrades of the Volkswagen Polo by ABT include new floor mats and a retuned suspension that bring the car closer to the ground. The front end sits now 25mm closer to the ground while the rear is even lower at 30mm. Pricing and availability details should be released soon.

On the styling front, the German model sits now lower thanks to a KW coilover suspension. It brings the vehicle 50mm (front) and 40 mm (rear) closer to the ground. This should improve both handling and looks, as the model looks now more aggressive.

Perhaps this good news is welcomed amongst the Polo GTI enthusiasts who wanted more adrenaline from their Polo GTIs, and perhaps the power kit provided by HG-Motorsport tuner is the perfect solution.

So the aftermarket specialists from the HG-Motorsport tuning company have carried out some interesting mods under the hood of this Volkswagen Polo GTI, fitting it with the HF-Series air intake system, sound flap exhaust, the carbon fiber tips, intercooler as well as the Bull X-3.0-inch exhaust downpipe.

This way, the 1.8-liter four-cylinder is now capable of outputting 260 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, which is quite significant from the stock 192 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque. All the power is hooked to a DSG transmission, which would help the sports car reach 100 km/h in less than 6.7 seconds, which is the figure obtained with the stock Polo GTI. No prices have been yet revealed.
