ABT Sportline is a tuner that works closely with Volkswagen and Audi products. Therefore it’s no surprise that they have taken the standard VW Golf GTI and turned it into a mini-hurricane on four wheels. Two power upgrades are available for those who don’t think much of the standard car’s 155kW (211hp).
Two tuning kits can be had, one that gives 191kW (260hp) and another worth more. What’s more? Well more is 221kW (300hp) which is in the ballpark of other famous names like the Ford Focus RS, the Subaru Impreza STI and the BMW 135i. I can’t imagine how this thing pulls off with its front wheels; it must torque steer like puppy chasing a car around a slippery corner.
ABT installed nice bits like 18-inch wheels with 19-inchers also on the menu for those who like their grip wider. But check out the body kit which consists of things like an ABT front grille and front lip, LED daytime running lights, side skirts and a rear spoiler. Lots of work was done to ensure a sporty interior too so customers will be feeling home there as well.
I really like the overall look, bar just the red details on the wheels. It's a bit over the top for my tastes, but perhaps someone else likes them this way.
