All their new projects are eye-catching in terms of design, providing as well lots of horses under the hood. And the Audi R8 V10 Plus presented at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show a couple of weeks ago is now back into the spotlights in a video, which highlights its loud engine soundtrack.

The video below was presented by Sellerie Cimes, a French tuner specialized in interior modifications, which also love Audi models.

Visually, the Audi R8 V10 Plus looks more gorgeous with the new aero package, highlighted by the new front and rear bumpers with carbon fiber bits – front lip, side, front, rear blades, wing and mirror covers – all complemented with the new 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the cabin welcomes you with the new leather upholstery, adding as well Alcantara and carbon trim, “ABT” bat-signal, and so on.

The rear end with the new stainless steel exhaust system also announces a power boost under the hood and a more aggressive engine roar. Even if it is not much, the extra 20 horsepower might be the right think for a real show-off. The total squeezed from the same 5.2-liter naturally aspirated engine stands at 630 horsepower.

We are not going to spoil all the fun and let you enjoy the video which highlights the car`s extremely loud engine soundtrack, put together by French tuner Sellerie Cimes!

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.

The high-performance German car gets even more power thanks to a series of changes made to the 2.0-liter TFSI engine.

With a total output of 400 horsepower and 480 Nm of torque, the 0-100 km/h sprint should be significantly better than the stock 5,3 seconds. The model paired with the S tronic automatic gearbox should be even quicker as the stock figures are 4,9 seconds from standstill to 100 km/h.

Interior improvements are not that impressive but include new floor mats and a trunk mat. However, the stock 3.0-liter TDI engine under the hood gets a noteworthy boost from the stock 262 hp and 580 Nm of torque.

After installing a revised ECU, the V6 engine is capable to deliver 290 horses and 650 Nm of torque. ABT released no performance figures such as the 0-100 km/h time or the top speed, but the extra 28 horses should improve the numbers a bit.
