Golf VI

The “super-Golf“– ABT’s new GTI

ABT motor tuning for your Golf GTI/GTD

The “super-Golf“– ABT’s new GTI

ABT Sportsline has tuned cars for five decades now, and for its anniversary, very fittingly, the Allgäu-based company presents the new, the sixth GTI.  These three letters have indicated an especially sporty and fast Golf since 1976. ABT was the first point of call for all those who want even more dynamism and pleasure. The latest generation of this compact sports car does also bear the magic acronym and is, of course, once again available in a breathtaking ABT version. Its performance alone is impressive enough. 

After all, an optimised engine management (ABT POWER) turns a serial 210 hp (154 kW) into a dynamic 260 hp (191 kW). ABT POWER S makes the GTI even stronger. A new turbo charger “Made in Kempten“ is used to tune the 2.0 TSI  to a racy 300 hp (221 kW) and make it reach 100 km/h from naught in about six seconds.

The new ABT Golf VI GTD – a diesel with 190 hp

Some lovingly call it a “racing tractor” because it combines sporty dynamism with an enormous torque of 390 Nm. Rudolf Diesel would surely have liked the 190 hp (140 kW) strong “offspring” of his invention. He probably would never have imagined that a diesel engine would provide for a 7.1 sec sprint from naught to 100 km/h. A top speed of 230 km/h and a lot of power in all seven gears is how ABT Sportsline defines the 2.0 TDI in the new Golf GTD, which may well stand for “great and tremendous driving” or something like that.

This Golf does, of course, keep its economic qualities, as it were: Its fuel consumption is no higher than the small serial compressed-ignition engine’s.

 

Better performance guaranteed

It is ABT’s family tradition to make an engine perform as well as possible. Be it an optimisation of the electronic engine management, turbo chargers or compressor retrofitting – performance increases are what we do and want to do. No wonder, then, that we are the global No. I tuner of cars produced by Audi, Volkswagen, Seat and Škoda. And given our experiences gained in racing we also know that it isn’t only about power, it is also about stability. Only the two factors combined will make driving such cars real fun - permanently.

ABT POWER for your VW Golf GTI – perfect chip tuning.

Be it a petrol-engine or a diesel-engine - modern cars require an electronic engine management. It is the brains, responsible for capturing, analysing and translating into specific commands all the pertinent data and parameters like engine temperature, air and fuel masses. This optimisation is the job of the specially developed ABT Power Software. It guarantees an ideal performance at equally ideal consumption levels and also sees to it that your engine is not driven too hard. You can rely on it and make your VW Golf GTI perform best.

ABT ENGINE CONTROL - ABT POWER “NEW GENERATION“

Engine technology sees a constant development. Thanks to high-tech electronics, cars are now getting ever more perfect. And in terms of performance, a new era has now also been ushered in by ABT Engine Control. Specially developed for the latest engine generations to optimise the optimum. The advantages are obvious: If you have two “brains”, either can focus upon what it does best. For ABT Engine Control, this means. All performance-relevant measurements and parameters are analysed, fine-tuned and translated into ABT POWER  commands in an extra control unit. And for you, this means maximum fun and even more safety. Even if there is a defect, which is highly unlikely, the fixed ABT Engine Control unit is still fully functional.  

ABT POWER & CO2

A better performance in the same exhaust emission category. A better performance does not necessarily mean higher CO2 emissions. At least not with ABT. While a serial model of the latest engine generation emits 0.9 to 1.0 g/hp, using ABT Power and ABT Power S reduces this level to down to 0.7 g/hp.

So the hp-based CO2 emissions are lowered by up to 30 per cent. A better performance, but no higher CO2 emissions. And the previous exhaust emission category still applies.
