Last year a very versatile car celebrated its 65th birthday that conquered Germany and the world and is now lovingly called “Bulli”, in previous series known as “Microbus”. But ABT Sportsline is even older. The renowned Bavarian company has a 120-year history of “traditional innovation“ and over the past few decades has also done a lot for more mobility. The new T6 is more than “only” a van for tradesmen and families. After all, its ABT POWERed 235 hp (173 kW) max. provide a lot of thrust.
After the ABT engineers intervention, the new POWER Bulli is rated either 180 hp (132 kW), up from 150 hp (110 kW), with the 2.0 turbo diesel’s torque at 400 Nm, or; with its 2.0 TDI, 235 hp (173 kW), up from 204 hp (150 kW), and 490 Nm (up from 450 Nm).
And you see the new one’s “ABTness” right away: the specially developed aerodynamic package is assertive and racy. The rear skirt set with its dynamic looking four-pipe exhaust, the rear wing but also the mighty front grille attachment, front skirt add ons and side skirts make the ABT Volkswagen T6 appear even more dynamic. The sport-type wheels CR and DR, for example, are fully in line with the Bulli’s design and available in 19 and 20’’. With the lowering springs or Bilstein sport-type coilovers the Multivan handles bends better than ever.
