2014 ABT Volkswagen Transporter T5: A Sporty Makeover for a Beloved Veteran
Eleven years on from its launch, the Volkswagen T5 continues to inspire loyalty and admiration. The globally renowned automotive tuner, ABT Sportsline, aims to rekindle this affection with a tantalizing new promotion package. This ambitious endeavor, as revealed by ABT CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt, is set to include a front guard, rear spoiler, lowering springs, and an alluring set of 20’’ CR wheels.
Fulfilling a Sporty Aspiration
Though the Volkswagen Transporter's base model exhibits a passenger car-like demeanor, ABT seeks to elevate its sporty potential. The company's specialized springs promise to lower the vehicle's center of gravity, thereby enhancing the car’s dynamism. This physical transformation also serves to further refine the Transporter's aesthetic appeal. Married with ABT's robust 20'' CR wheels, the package endeavors to inject a considerable dose of athleticism into this durable workhorse.
A Harmonious Blend of Design and Performance
The detailed craftsmanship behind ABT's design vision becomes strikingly apparent with the intricate geometry of the CR wheels' double spokes. The intriguing interplay of "mystic anthracite matt" finish and diamond-relieved front presents a harmonious blend of design and performance.
Standing Out, Front and Back
The ABT front grille, harmoniously integrated into the car's color scheme, is designed to impart a powerful sporty character. In a playful attempt to proclaim the vehicle's uniqueness to those trailing behind, ABT has adorned the T5 with a modest yet conspicuous rear spoiler. The spoiler serves not only as a distinctive design statement but also compensates for the reduced height resulting from the new springs.
Rekindling the Passion for a Trusty Companion
ABT Sportsline's modifications for the 2014 Volkswagen Transporter T5 reflect the tuner's passionate pursuit of the perfect blend of style, functionality, and sportiness. The proposed package, though aiming to inject a youthful dynamism into this beloved veteran, pays respectful homage to the T5's enduring legacy. By creating a sporty iteration of a utility vehicle, ABT underlines the versatility of the Transporter while rekindling the passion of the long-standing fans of this reliable model.
