As the successor to the first ABT Limited, the Abt TT-limited II was launched in 2002, based on the 225 hp TT Coupé. Abt optimised the ECU to increase power to 265 hp (+40 hp) and torque to 360 Nm (+ 80 Nm).
According to Abt: “The new passion. Racing emotions in red. Pure dynamics”.
This time, the Abt TT-limited II was only available with 225 hp. It featured modifications to the chassis, rims, interior and a body kit. The diffuser and lip under the front spoiler were made of real carbon fibre. And for even more appeal, the rims were 19 inches.

Abt modifications also available separately Because many of the Abt modifications were also available separately, Abt versions regularly appeared on the market. Sometimes they were offered as one of a series of special versions. However, they often lacked some of the specific features of the limited editions. |
