INFO:
World`s number 1 VW tuner, Abt Sportsline, has turned their sites onto one of the newst VW models, the Passat CC. Following the four-door coupe design pioneered by the Mercedes CLS-Class, the Passat CC, which stands for “Comfort Coupe,” doesn`t necessarily have to go down the same road for elegance and luxury buyers. Hans-Jürgen Abt. The managing director of ABT Sportsline states, “But who says that a Comfort Coupé mustn’t be sporty?”
As a result, the Kempten-based tuning firm offers off-the-shelf suspension springs and ABT Power packages for the 1.8 TSI`s standard 160hp (118kW) bumped up to 200hp (147kW). The 2.0 TSI enjoys similar treatment up to 240hp (177kW). Abt states a power package will soon be available for the two 2.0-TDI engines delivering 190 or 170hp (140/124kW) instead of the serial 170 and 140hp respectively (125/103kW).
Unfortunately, Abt is unable to show us a teaser draft of their aerodynamic kit for the Passat CC, but rest assured, they`re working on it. In the mean time, you`ll have to settle for Abt`s AR and BR wheel which are both available in sizes 18 to 20 inch. “It is of course a matter of taste which wheel the client prefers, but, personally, I think that the BR wheel with its corresponding spoke pairs suits the CC particularly well,” says Hans-Jürgen Abt.
Stay tuned as images of the aerodynamic kit will be published as soon as they become available.
