ABT shows their Audi magic: The AS1 Sportback
23 Jul 2012|3,289 views
In their latest project, ABT works their magic on the new Audi A1 Sportback. Dubbed the AS1 Sportback, ABT was proud to boast that 'Sports is back'. The smallest Audi gets new styling and a perfomance boost. On the styling front, ABT have left the front S-Line bumper as is, but have added carbon fibre vents to the wings just behind the wheels, and there are carbon fibre side skirt additions too. At the rear there is a carbon diffuser with a centrally mounted twin exit exhaust system to give the A1 a bit of much needed aural embellishment. Giving the biggest visual improvement are a set of 18-inch ABT split-rim alloy wheels which are considerably lighter than the stock items.
Under the hood, the 1.4-litre TFSi engine gets a power boost. The 122bhp model gets boosted to 160bhp, while 185bhp variant now has 210bhp, a decent performance increase. There are also smaller increases available for the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.6-litre TDi engines.
