Renowned Volkswagen Group tuner ABT Sportsline has
added yet another product to its vast portfolio: the Seat Tarraco. The Spanish cousin of the
Volkswagen Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq has gained a few upgrades and a photo shoot
to highlight its revised stance.
For its latest project, ABT has chosen the 187 HP, 2.0-liter diesel version of the mid-size SUV, which is hooked up to a
7-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. After fitting their
in-house-developed engine control unit, ABT raised output it to 217 HP and 440 Nm of torque.
Oversized wheels are a trend right now, so it’s now
surprise that the ABT-tuned Tarraco sports a 21-inch set that, due to the large
wheel arches, don’t look entirely out of place. Apart from the ten-spoke,
diamond-machined and mystic black finished rims, the tuner also offers other
alloys as well, in 19, 20 or 21 inches and different designs.
This is probably only the beginning when it comes to
ABT’s work on Seat’s SUV, as the firm usually makes other parts for their
projects such as bodywork add-ons, exhaust tips, suspension upgrades, special
badging and illuminated door sills.
