The TT-R from Abt Sportsline is based on the second generation
Audi TT. Equipped with a supercharged 355-horsepower V6 3.2-liter
engine the Abt TT-R accelerates from standstill to 60 mph in
5.0 seconds, almost a second faster than the standard V6 TT.
Abt Sportsline also created special body styling parts for the
TT-R which include a front facia and single frame grille. At
the rear the Abt TT-R features two twin tailpipes either side
of a new diffuser insert, and a new rear wing. The end result
is not only a more aggressive design, but also more downforce.
The Abt TT-R also includes a special suspension kit designed
to work in harmony with the power upgrade.

Press release for Abt TT-R:
With the Abt TT-R, the famous German tuner Abt Sportsline celebrated
the most amazing motor sport victories in the season 2002. Hardly
anyone was able to beat the Abt TT-R. In nine of the ten DTM
races at least one of the Abt pilots clinched a podium position,
and at the end Laurent Aiello won the DTM championship in the
yellow Abt TT-R. Therefore it is no wonder that the Abt team
from Kempten has a special relationship with “their” TT and
it is a fortunate coincidence that the second version of this
sporty Audi model just appears on the market when the family
enterprise celebrates its 110th company anniversary. At the
same time, this happenstance means a challenge for Abt Sportsline
- a challenge the team from Kempten meets by enhancing this
exceptional sports car.
The new Audi TT is a model which already combines clarity and
form with modern technology in the serial car and therefore
offers maximum driving pleasure. “This is the best precondition
we can imagine to perfect a car,” explains Hans-Jurgen Abt,
managing director of Abt Sportsline - and presents convincing
data. The masterpiece of the new Abt TT model range is the Abt
TT-R equipped with a 355-horsepower VR6 3.2-liter engine. This
outstanding sports car offers real racing adventure for the
roads. The Abt TT-R accelerates from standstill to 60 mph in
5.0 seconds, compared to the serial model that takes 5.9 seconds.
Besides the power boost, the modified design of the Abt TT models
was one of the most important factors. In this connection Abt
Sportsline has developed special body styling parts that make
the TT a real eye-catcher, communicating power and dynamics.
With an integrated grille element, the front skirt emphasizes
the area around the fog lights and single-frame grille so that
the face of the Abt TT becomes even more aggressive and marked.
The lateral body styling parts continue the dynamical body language
and lead directly to the extravagant rear with rear skirt inset
and rear wing. In contrast to the filigree serial part the Abt
rear wing cannot be folded but is a part that is firmly integrated
into hatchback. The result is not only a racier design; it also
brings about more downforce. The 4-pipe rear muffler is the
finishing touch that perfectly harmonizes with the black rear
skirt inset and rear diffuser. To round off the striking overall
optical design, Abt Sportsline recommends the 19-inch wheels
AR19 and SP1 with tires sized 255/35 ZR19.
What is more, Abt has also included a special suspension kit
and suspension springs in its product range so as to meet the
demands of the power upgrade and modified design.
