ABT Sportsline Puts out the Power for the Volkswagen Passat

ABT Sportsline Volkswagen Passat

Seven flavors of fun.

ABT Sportsline has been working with the Volkswagen Passat since it was first launched 43 years ago. The newest generation of mid-size sedans is also getting the ABT Sportsline treatment but not with one, two, or three tuning upgrades, but a total of seven flavors of power for both gasoline and diesel motors. That added power also comes with new wheels, suspension, and body work options that give the sedan a more athletic character.

All four gasoline engines found in the Volkswagen Passat can be tuned by ABT Sportsline. The 1.4 TSI gets a boost to 180 horsepower and 214 lb-ft. of torque while the 1.8 TSI motor gets a bump to 210 horsepower and 229 lb-ft. of torque. The bigger 2.0 TSI engine with 220 horsepower stock goes up to 290 horsepower with the tune while the more powerful 2.0 TSI engine with 280 horsepower stock goes all the way up to 336 horsepower. Both 2.0 TSI engines boast a strong 310 lb-ft. of torque.

On the oil-burning side of things, the three 2.0 TDI motors get power bumps to 170-, 215-, and 270-horsepower, with 280-, 325-, and 398 lb-ft. of torque, respectively, thanks to ABT Sportsline. A new rear muffler puts that power on display visually and audibly.

With that power comes a more athletic and sporty character thanks to ABT Sportsline. The Volkswagen Passat can be given a new set of sport springs that reduce the ride height by 35 mm up front and 30 mm at the rear for a better center of gravity. Body roll can also be reduced thanks to ABT anti-roll bars. In addition, ABT CR, DR, ER-C, or FR wheels in 18-, 19-, 20-, or even 21-inch diameters with high performance tires can be added to improve grip.

Visually, the Volkswagen Passat looks the more powerful part as well. Up front, the German sedan boasts a new front skirt add-on to visually lower the fascia along with a new three-bar grille with ABT Sportsline logo. New mirror covers and skirts can be found on both sides while a new spoiler lip and skirt add-on are featured at the rear.
