Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport by ABT Sportline Is Extremely Powerful https://www.carztuning.com/2016/08/volkswagen-golf-gti-clubsport-abt-sportline-extremely-powerful/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/08/volkswagen-golf-gti-clubsport-abt-sportline-extremely-powerful/#respond Thu, 25 Aug 2016 23:16:03 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=8841 There are a lot of hot and famous tuning companies that have become specialized in delivering outstanding programs for different carmakers out there, just like Novitec Rosso for Ferrari products or Porsche Exclusive for Porsche models.

Mechanically speaking, the Volkswagen Golf CTI Clubsport is now packing a high-performance suspension system with beefed up front and rear sway bars, along with custom braking system with six-piston front calipers. Additionally, a new set of 18- or 20-inch alloy wheels are also available, which provide increase performance and greater stance around the track.

The car`s main highlight is the impressive power boost under the hood.

Volkswagen Golf R Power Upgrades by O.CT Tuning https://www.carztuning.com/2016/06/volkswagen-golf-r-power-upgrades-o-ct-tuning/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/06/volkswagen-golf-r-power-upgrades-o-ct-tuning/#respond Tue, 14 Jun 2016 20:37:19 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=7980 The Volkswagen Golf is that type of car which deserves the best tuning treatments on the market, and the body styling it comes with makes it the ideal candidate for aftermarket shops.

It is exactly what happened to this Golg R seen below in the pictures, the model receiving the visit of O.CT Tuning shop for some power upgrades and minor body changes.

Besides the new and more aggressive front and rear spoilers and fresh wheels, this VW Golf R is a real beast underneath its skin, even if the tuner thinks the stock engine is not fast enough for its looks. This is why they decided to shake things a little bit.

The Volkswagen Golf R packs a 2.0-liter engine, with a factory 300 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque. The technicians from the German based tuner are offering instead four stages of power kits, with power between 370 and 460 Nm of torque, all the way to an impressive 444 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque.

In terms of performance, O.CT Tuning has not provided any figures, but given the stock 4.9 second run from 0 to 100 km/h, we could imagine under 4.5 seconds with the top power kit. Perhaps more details will be released any time now along with the price tag.

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.
