Finally again about a "normal“Car writing 😀 After I just came across the 888PS strong Emperor I based on the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S600 I reported it feels really good to be able to introduce something "earthly" again. Although -> 340PS & 430NM torque in a VW Golf are also a bit lifted because after all, these are only 3PS less and 65NM more torque than a BMW M3 of the type E46 made a few years ago. By the way, the ABT VW Golf GTi Clubsport is even more powerful than the Clubsport S which “only” delivers 310PS ex works. If you consider that racing driver and instructor Benjamin Leuchter (28) lapped the 20,8 kilometers of the Nordschleife in 7: 49.21 minutes in the production model, there should be no illusion that the ABT GTi can do it in at least 7:45 minutes.

The adjustments to the VW Golf MK7

A lighter ABT Sportsline wheel set in 9,0 x 20 inches and a specially designed coilover kit should also help. So that the load comes to a consistent stop, ABT can also install a 6-piston fixed caliper brake at the front with discs in the 370x35mm format, which outperforms the standard brake. Unfortunately, the brake cannot be seen on the presented vehicle. The team of ABT Sportsline GmbH published the modified GTI the days and we are of course pleased to be able to show you the pictures. After the tuning cure that the GTI was allowed to endure, it is now visually much more potent than the production version and that is exactly what should be noticeable on every meter. So if you have been secretly thinking of buying a current GTI Club Sport for a long time or are even a happy owner, ABT Sportsline GmbH is definitely an interesting starting point when it comes to differentiating the vehicle from the production model.
