The German specialists from ABT Sportsline released a new tuning package, this time for the current Volkswagen Beetle generation.

The starting point is the 2.0-liter TDI version able to deliver, after few basic improvements, 168hp (+30) and 370Nm of torque (+50).

The TDI engine under the bonnet received a remapped ECU unit which squeezed the extra power out from the diesel power plant. The additional ponies provide a better 0-100 km/h sprint in 8,8 seconds (-0,6).

Of course, the tuners from ABT Sportsline opted for some cosmetic improvements as well.

As the photo gallery reveals, the German model gets a body kit including new front lip, eye lids, new 18- to 20-inch alloy wheels, a revised spoiler and diffuser.

The company also provides a high-performance braking system along with a sport suspension which lowers the ground clearance.
