ABT always tries to improve every car they modify and now they’ve tried to modify this lovely Volkswagen Tuareg. I’ve seen a lot of people that would like to own a Tuareg but let’s admit it… the prices are a bit too high for people with regular wages. If you will buy a Tuareg one day, you’ll surely afford to modify it as ABT does. They’ve created a special sport package for a Tuareg 3.0 TDI. This tuning kit will bring more power for the car’s engine, bringing it to 300 HP from those initial 225 HP and the maximum torque is now bigger with 100 Nm.

The car has gained a lot in speed and it’s performances are really great for a 4×4 car. It could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.2 seconds and it could reach a maximum speed of 214 km/h. But the modifications haven’t stopped at the engine. ABT also installed sport suspensions and new ABT braking system. They’ve also worked at the car’s look and they tried to extend the car’s body kit, making the car wider and more aggressive. The car will also have 20″ or 22″ rims depending on the client’s request.
