Totally immodest starts tuner Abt features an extensively revised , 290 -horsepower VW Golf GTI the race for the best tuned compact athlete. Well then - Action ! We have tested the anabolic GTI for you. With the approval of the Abt -VW Golf GTI something must have gone wrong . If the number of the Antichrist would because paperboard on a white car ? Surely no one who has ever dealt with the " Number of the Beast " album by Iron Maiden.
Abt VW Golf GTI without mechanical lock
On the other hand - if the doped Abt VW Golf GTI lossprintet , the suspicion might well arise here just tobe the devil through the combustion chambers of the two-liter four cylinder. As a basis for the reconstruction of the tuner handle a 220 hp GTI , seventh-generation back - without performance package , and therefore not only with slightly less power , but also without mechanical lock and without major brake - the performance variation we had in Super Test .
For this purpose , including the VW Golf GTI : Tight and comfortable padded and with plenty of lateral support provided sports seats with stylish plaid covers, perfectly legible round dials plus the other typical - golfige infallibility in the interior - a wise decision by Abbot to keep all this in production configuration .
Abt VW Golf GTI with massive swipe
Regarding the performance of the VW Golf GTI by Abt tolerate quite yet this is a rather pointed tere dynamics , he got to be in production configuration easy to make many right. So an additional control unit ( 2,349 euros plus installation and acceptance ) lupft the performance by 70 to 290 hp ( at 4,800 instead of 4,500 rpm ) , the maximum torque rises from 350 to 420 Newton meters , which is as usual 1500-4400 tours available . As with the series model, the torque builds up steep mountain -threatening , but the direct injection engine does not climb it drastically and unbridled . Instead, the refined four- cylinder delivers a smooth , very powerful draft.
With negligible delay speaks the engine , then shouldering the 1.4 tonne VW Golf GTI and pulls him with gentle but very certain violence towards the finish line. In 5.9 seconds the Abt GTI cracks from the state the 100-km/h-Marke , thereby undercutting the last measured in test performance variant ( 6.2 s ) , the base model anyway (6.4 s ) . ESP is not completely switched off , forget it
Regardless of the size 225 tires , the abbot GTI scrapes while certainly a little with the front wheels , does not have to be a total great though worry about traction - which of course also related to the control electronics , which can not be completely shut off .
On the other hand : a Stimmungstöter have not programmed the VW engineers. Anyone for fun full, goes , for example, in the curve apex on the throttle , notice how the system depending on the steering angle, the power is flowing freely , to guarantee smoky no more rubber . Here, the VW Golf GTI Abt- pasted anyway more consistently on the road, because the tuner in addition to 30 -millimeter Lowering Springs 8.5 x 19 rims on 225/35er-Reifen ( complete wheel set : 3,490 euros ) mounted - the series so far tested GTI stood on 18-inch wheels.
Bucky chassis, meadow liges handling
Thus, the abbot -VW Golf GTI comes from 100 km / h one meter earlier than the base . In addition, the chassis measures give rise to a noticeably more aggressive steering response while minimizing understeer , but even with just minimized suspension comfort. Especially on long bumps bucks the tuned VW noticeable.
Given the meadow then agility and the renunciation of adaptive damper healthy hardness may come as no surprise . Therefore, the driver of the VW Golf GTI Abt- pats also like back on the gas before he thinks about it longer . Even in the medium speed range speaks of the four-cylinder spontaneously , firing incessantly its torque - spin , turns merrily towards 6.000/min-Marke - but not so cheerful beyond. Typical effect of the six-speed dual -clutch transmission is an angry snort acting at the lightning-fast gear changes .
