Whether VW Scirocco or Audi R8, Tiguan or Q7, A4 or S8: with the new GR alloy wheels, ABT Sportsline is presenting a new wheel highlight for nearly all vehicle classes in Geneva. The range covers everything from saloon and estate cars to sports cars and SUVs, all available in 20 and 22 inch.
The wheel is available as a cast version ABT SPORT GR (20 or 22 inch) and as a high-strength, forged version ABT HIGH PERFORMANCE GR. The latter is initially only available in a 20 inch version for the Audi TT RS and the Audi R8 with a 40 percent weight advantage. This results in lower unsprung masses, providing both supersport cars with distinctly more precision during steering and breaking. The completely dark finish in “black magic” is another highlight which gives the HIGH PERFORMANCE GR a particularly bold and sporty look.
For the ABT SPORT GR, on the other hand, customers can choose between two paint finishes with a completely different look: either in “matte black” with a diamond machined surface and matte clear finish or in “glossy black” with a diamond machined rim flange. All versions share the design features of ten spokes which bisect towards the rim flange, the recessed hub area and the strongly concave rim base. While the fully diamond machined surface of the ABT SPORT GR matte black creates an great level of plasticity and delicate elegance, the ABT SPORT GR glossy black with diamond machining only on the flange appears more aggressive. This effect is even more prominent on the completely black, forged ABT HIGH PERFORMANCE GR.
If this has piqued your interest, you can configure your Audi or VW with the new ABT GR alloy wheels at www.abt-configurator.com without obligation. The website also offers many other wheel designs for a variety of vehicles from the Volkswagen Group.
