Volkswagen Touareg by Abt Sportsline


While the Porsche Cayenne has been tuned by everyone and their brother, the Volkswagen Touareg has been sadly neglected. To fix this inequality, Abt Sportline has unveiled their new program for the unpronounceable SUV.

On design front, the tuner adds a new grille, revised side skirts, rear apron and a massive roof spoiler. Other goodies include a sport exhaust system and 22-inch alloy wheels (other sizes are available).

Under the hood, the 240 PS (177 kW / 237 hp) 3.0 TDI can be modified to produce 282 PS (207 kW / 278 hp) and 580 Nm (427 lb-ft) of torque. Additionally, the S package enables the engine to churn out 310 PS (228 kW / 306 hp) and 610 Nm (450 lb-ft). Lastly, if you own the Touareg 4.2 TDI, you'll be rewarded with 385 PS (283 kW / 380 hp) and 870 Nm (642 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 45 PS (33 kW / 44 hp) and 70 Nm (52 lb-ft).
