Such a company anniversary has to be celebrated, of course, which is why the Kempten-based refiner puts a few special irons in the fire. The Audi Q3, the Audi TT and TTS as well as the Volkswagen have been optimized Multivan T6, Not only are they typical ABT looks, they also impress with their performance, which has been raised by everyone. Unfortunately, each model is limited to 40 copies - but that only underlines the exclusivity of the Jubi variants.
A family business with an uninterrupted tradition since 120 years - you have to find that first. Especially in the car industry. However, not only the success of ABT Sportsline is evident in this large number, but also that one has lived through hard times as well as good times and was able to demonstrate his perseverance and power here. And the vehicles of course reflect that: Not for nothing do the performance increases bear the nickname ABT Power.
The current anniversary models hold the flag of the ABT family high and mark the current peak of the company's capabilities. The goal has always been to combine innovation with tradition and you can see that in the models. In this article we will first concentrate on the two models with the slightly higher seating position: the ABT T6 and the Audi QS3.
The Volkswagen Bulli has always been a good basis for refinement and it is the same with the current model. As the ABT T6 Multivan, utility value is combined with driving fun, to which the 2.0 liter turbo-diesel contributes a large part. After the increase in performance, it produces 180 instead of 150 hp and was also able to achieve an increase in torque from 380 to 420 Nm. It still remains comfortable, but without neglecting its sporty side. After all, the ABT T6 is ideal as a draft horse and at the same time as a motorhome.
Unseen but you hardly with the Jubi Edition but, finally, they got the typical ABT attachments missed and shines in a particularly harmonious color mixture. On the outside is the upgraded T6 Iridium Gray in combination with silver and red. It also features front bumper tops, a front grille attachment, side skirts and a rear spoiler, while the 4 rear muffler is framed by a matching rear skirt set. At the wheel train, the Allgäu team is using 19 DR wheels in Mystic Black and Red.
ABT shows its full SUV competence with the Audi SQ3. The Kempten company has been refining SUVs since 2002 and started with the VW Touareg. The compact SUV from Ingolstadt, which is also striking, benefits from this experience. Daytona gray is used as the basecoat, which is partially wrapped in silver and is completed with additional red applications. After all, the “S” in the name stands for sportiness - and you can tell it straight away.
So that appearances are not deceptive, the engine output also increased from 184 to 210 hp. Optimized in this way, the ABT SQ3 runs at a maximum of 224 km / h. Anyone who not only appreciates high speeds will appreciate the increased talents as a draft animal. The 20-inch wheels mounted on CR type rims should provide good grip when pulling. They give the SUV a powerful appearance, as does the body kit. It consists of a rear apron with four tailpipes, a distinctive rear spoiler, mirror caps and front apron and door trim attachments. An all-round successful appearance.
