Getting inspired for the future: ABT Sportsline, the global market leader when it comes to the tuning of cars produced by the Volkswagen Group, has just received a very special honour from GTspirit.com: the ABT RS6-R ranked first, before nine other, equally renowned competitors. “The field included all the brands of distinction,” says Hans-Jürgen Abt. The traditional Bavarian company’s CEO is pleased with the honour, also because GTspirit.com is one of the most important premium tuning media on the Net. That the majority voted for the ABT RS6-R and made the “lifestyle transSPORT“ their dream car shows that ABT engineering finds worldwide recognition.
And the ABT RS6-R is not just like any other car but an expression of what is technically feasible: After all, the 730 hp or 537 kW estate is 320 kph fast. “With the RS6-R we show that we are able to apply our racing expertise to roadworthy cars as well,“ says Hans-Jürgen Abt. The combination of maximum pleasure and full dependability is realised with fine-tune and thoroughly tested components: The enormous upgrade - by 170 hp (125 kW) in power and by 220 Nm (to 920!) in torque – is made possible by the ABT POWER S technology. This includes ABT’s own AEC (ABT Engine Control) unit with its specially developed software and a special stainless-steel exhaust system. The ABT RS6-R is a very special car indeed and combines assertiveness and momentum with elegance and a touch of understatement. And this super sports car edition is limited to 25 cars and of much utility, too: The estate can carry a lot – and, if need be, also very fast: it only needs 3.3 seconds to get from naught to 100 kph.
