With the Abt TT-R Abt Sportsline has celebrated the most amazing motor sport victories in the season 2002. Hardly anyone was able to beat the Abt TT-R. In nine of the ten DTM races at least one of the Abt pilots clinched a podium position, and at the end Laurent Aiello won the DTM championship in the yellow Abt TT-R. Therefore it is surprising that the Abt team from Kempten has a special relationship with “their” TT and it is a fortunate coincidence that the second version of this sporty Audi model just appears on the market when the family enterprise celebrates its 110th company anniversary. At the same time, this happenstance means a challenge for Abt Sportsline - a challenge the team from Kempten meets by enhancing this exceptional sports car.
The new Audi TT is a model which already combines clarity and form with modern technology in the serial car. “This is the best precondition we can imagine to perfect a car,” explains Hans-Jürgen Abt, managing director of Abt Sportsline - and presents convincing data:
The masterpiece in the new Abt TT model range is the Abt TT-R equipped with a VR6 3.2 ltr engine delivering a performance of 355 HP (262 kW). The Abt TT-R accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds compared to the serial model that takes 5.9 seconds. This outstanding sports car offers real racing adventure for the roads – but that is not all: The fast Coupé is the first Abt model with the innovative iFtechnology.
By means of a switch in the centre console the driver can select whether the six-cylinder vehicle is to be driven with gasoline or liquid gas. “This increases the cruising range by up to 400 km and reduces the running costs as well as the pollutant emission,” explains Hans-Jürgen Abt. “Also, liquid gas is quite common, so it is available nearly everywhere.” The unique fuel combination is not the only factor that makes the TT-R a masterpiece. Also the car interior is striking with extravagant details such as steering wheel, shift gear knob and centre console in exclusive carbon-leather look. With this extraordinary and dynamical design the Abt TT-R rightly bears the letter “R” that stands for “Racing” in its name.
Of course the Bavarian team has also noticeably boosted the power of the VR6 3.2 K ltr and 2.0 T-FSI engines. The Abt supercharger kit and modifications to the motor management ensure that the 3.2 ltr 6- cylinder engine now performs 310 HP (228 kW) instead of the serial 250 HP (184 kW). Due to the knowhow the Abt engineers have gained from the AS3-R, they have increased the performance of the 2.0 TFSI engine to 300 HP (221 kW) and a torque of 350 Nm.
The power of the high-performance cars is controlled through massive brakes. On the Abt TT-R 380 millimetres Abt sports brakes ensure braking rates like in motor sports. The Abt TT-Sport is brought to standstill with an Abt brakes system with 345 millimetres discs.
For the new 2-litre TT Abt also offers its innovative intelligentSport-technology. Specific modifications to the motor management allow the Abt TT-iS to be fuelled with standard, super or superplus gasoline. The performance increases to as much as 240 HP (177 kW) depending on the fuel quality. More power – less thirst.
With an additional Abt gearbox modification the fuel consumption of the Abt TT-iS can be reduced by up to four litres.
