At the end of 2008, ABT (pronounced as Upt) Sportsline, a 115 year old German tuner,
took a big step into Asia by incorporating their regional corporate office, ABT Asia LLP. Under the management of former international export manager Mr. Wolfgang Kitzeder, the Singapore-based company has successfully increased the influence of ABT Sportsline in the Asian tuning arena.
For the first time in Vietnam, automobile enthusiasts can now experience, the creations of the world’s largest tuner of cars from the Volkswagen group.
The first ABT models to be launched in Vietnam will be the ABT A4, Q5 and Q7. These Audi models have been given the ABT treatment in refinement, which compromises of front lip, side skirts, boot lid spoiler and rear diffuser with ABT’s distinctive quad-pipe performance exhaust system. Engine performance upgrades are also available upon request as an option.
ABT will also be presenting its latest type DR designer wheel. This newly launched, light-weight wheel is developed by ABT’s DTM championship winning team and is available in sizes of between 18” to 22” to suit all models of cars from the Volkswagen group. In combination with the ABT lowering sports springs, the ABT cars now gain significant improvement in road handling and safety.
In short, ABT cars look better, feel better, sound better and perform better. All ABT’s components are carefully researched, designed and produced to meet the highest demands on quality, reliability and durability derived from its many years of motorsport history. Anyone who drives an ABT is special and does not believe in compromises.
ABT is available through selected Audi and Volkswagen dealerships around the world and today. Audi Vietnam will be having a special preview for ABT cars at the up-coming Hanoi motor show and we look forward to welcoming Audi Vietnam into the ABT family.
