ABT revealed today its latest tuning program for the brand new Volkswagen Golf GTD, sporty hatchback that comes with 170 hp delivered directly from a 2.0-liter diesel engine. Let’s start first with the design: the car comes with a new front spoiler, front grille, side sills, rear spoiler, rear apron set and the typical ABT 4-pipe rear muffler.

The aerodynamic kit is completed by the sporty AR and BR wheels in 18 and 19 inch, which are available in combination with high-performance tyres. Now let’s see what is under the hood: the German tuning company added an extra 20 hp, which means that the car has a total output of 190 hp (140 kW) and an impressive 390 Nm of torque. With these numbers we have a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.1 seconds and a top speed of 230 km/h. Also, new ABT suspension springs were added in order to lower the centre of gravity and to improve the handling. Photo gallery after the jump!
