2008 Abt TT-R Roadster Pictures, Specifications, Information

Before the first preliminary designs were published, it was clear that the leading Audi tuner Abt Sportsline planned to cause a sensation with the new Audi TT, as the first TT is one of the favourite cars of the Kempten-based company with a long tradition. Much of this is due to the fact that the race version of the Sports Coupe won a several DTM (German Touring Car Series) races in 2002.

Therefore it is only logical that, after the extravagant TT-Sport and TT-R, that Abt create the TT Roadster. The car, which is already exquisitely beautiful as production car, gets a special treatment in the Allgaeu: the designer from Abt Sportsline developed car body parts with which the open-roof TT becomes more danymical. The front skirt with its grid element emphasizes the area around the fog lights and the single-frame grill. The brawny laterally attached parts underline the design of the convertible and create a unit with the striking rear section of the car. The rear skirt inset and the rear wing, providing additional down force, are the central elements. The 4-pipe rear muffler, which perfectly harmonizes with the rear skirt inset and its integrated rear diffuser, belongs to the distinctive rear view of the Abt TT Roadster.

The TT Roadster from Abt is an absolutely successful open-roof sportscar, a design masterpiece for ambitious pilots. Abt Sportsline offers a number of power upgrade packages. The highlight of the product range is similar to the Coupé. the TT-R with the VR6 3.2 K. The supercharger aggregate provides 355 hp (262 kW) and accelerates the car in about 5 sec. from standstill to 100 km/h. Matching the power upgrade is the Abt suspension kit. For more security in ticklish situations cares the Abt sports brake system with its huge disc diameters of 380x34 millimeters.
