New ABT version of Scirocco and Golf GTI Mk 6 launched.

The much awaited and talked about VW Scirocco. Finally, finally, finally on our shores. I think I prefer the original design, although the ABT spec gives it an additional 40 horses pushing a max torque up to 340Nm, somehow the design seems a bit much. Can't wait to go for a spin in it ;)

Just in case if you're interested in getting the full kit, the tuning package includes:

ABT Wheels Package
*19inch (sweet) BR styling Black edition wheels + Continental tires + ABT sport springs + spacers
The damage: RM21,500

Aerodynamic ABT Package
*Full ABT Bodykits + quad pipe stainless steel muffler (super sweet)
The damage: RM18,500

ABT ECU Performance Tuning
*ECU upgrades to 240hp and 340Nm
The damage: RM6,000

Current special ABT VSR Scirocco full package will cost about RM45,000 (which is RM1,000 off from the above total)

Also saw the Golf GTI Mk 6 in ABT kit. The one currently in the Cartrade's showroom is not the GTI which you'll be getting because that's a 2-door. The GTIs which will be sold here, all come with 4 doors. I didn't manage to snap any photos but I've decided to rip off from zerotohundred ;) Just to let you have a look at what the GTI's 'wild side' is like, since the new version is much more refined and seem to have a rather 'executive' look to it.
So if you prefer the Golf, then this is what you can get from ABT VSR GTI package:

ABT Wheels Package
*19inch (like the Scirocco but I prefer more spokes) BR styling Black edition wheels + Continental tires + ABT sport springs + spacers
The damage: RM23,500 (why is this more expensive than the Scirocco? No idea...)

Aerodynamic ABT Package
*Full ABT Bodykits + quad pipe stainless steel muffler (give me two years and I'm so gonna get the quad pipes)
The damage: RM18,500

ABT ECU Performance Tuning
*ECU upgrades to 260hp and 360Nm (whoa! Some really good steroids!)
The damage: RM6,000

Current special ABT VSR GTI full package will cost about RM47,000 (which is RM1,000 off from the above total)

Note: Don't worry if your car is still under warranty and you crave for some of those candies. ABT's warranty itself is 1-year and it does not void your manufacturer's original one. So... Wanna go shopping?
