If you’re in the market for a fun and fast SUV and don’t want to wait for the next-generation Volkswagen Touareg, German tuner ABT Sportsline has the answer.
The company has focused its attention on the most recent V8-powered Touareg, installing it with an array of minor visual changes and a little extra performance, both on an engine and suspension front.
Power from the 4.2-liter turbo-diesel V8 has been bumped from 335 hp to 380 hp and an insane 880 Nm of twisting force. These gains have been achieved thanks to a simple fettle with the engine’s software.
Elsewhere, Touareg V8 owners have the option of fitting the car with a set of lowering springs that drop the ride height by 40 mm at the front and 30 mm at the rear. When combined with the redesigned 22-inch wheels, owners can not only talk the walk but also walk the walk.
