SEMA 2008: GGI Tuning to carry Abt, including hot Audi AS5

We’ve talked about Abt Sportsline’s sweet range of upgraded VW and Audi offerings before, but now we have some additional good news. As you probably know if you’re reading this blog, Abt offers lots of mods for the Audi A4 and Audi A5, including relatively subtle body kits, new wheels, a sport suspension, a freer-flowing exhaust system, and a variety of power upgrades. You really can’t go wrong when you start with such good rolling stock, but some tuners manage to botch it anyhow. In the case of the Audi A5,, the manufacturer already does a pretty good job with the upragdes when it turns it into an Audi S5, but Abt goes a step or two further with pretty good results.

The Abt AS5 is one hot sports coupe, even in a refrigerator white that might seem uninspring at first glance. The one we saw here at SEMA was actually over at the Hlton. It popped up during one of the afterparties that always makes this such a fun show to attend. In this case it was at the GGI European Tuning bash where the shop was announcing their new distribution deal with the German tuner. GGI European Tuning is already the exclusive North American importer for Carlsson, Hartge and Sportec, but now they can add Abt Sportsline to the marquee. It’s already one of our favorite coupes, so knowing it might be easier to get a nicely modded version in the States makes us even happier.
