Title: ABT Unleashes Customized Volkswagen T7 Multivan and California with GTI F

ABT Sportsline, the renowned German tuner, has unveiled a striking customization package for the newly updated Volkswagen T7 Multivan and California. Building on the subtle aesthetic and technological enhancements introduced by Wolfsburg, ABT has infused these people-movers with a distinctive GTI-inspired flair, perfect for families, corporate transport, or camping adventures.

Exterior upgrades include a prominent front splitter and a special side air intake trim, giving the vehicles a slightly more aggressive look. The package also features glossy black side sills and a matching rear bumper extension with integrated diffuser. While an aftermarket rear spoiler is not offered, as the standard one is deemed sufficient for a van, the real showstopper is the new 20-inch ABT Halo alloy wheels with a diamond-cut finish. These can be paired with optional lowered suspension, reducing ground clearance by 30mm for improved handling on asphalt.

However, the lowered ride height might not be practical for off-road excursions, which is a common use case for camper vans. ABT has also announced an upcoming performance upgrade, ABT Power, which promises to unlock the full potential of the engine. This update likely targets the widely used 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine in Volkswagen's lineup.

The T7 Multivan is available with various ABT-tuned engines, including a 1.5 eHybrid PHEV powertrain that combines a 177-hp 1.5-liter TSI gasoline engine with two electric motors (one front and one rear) producing 116 and 136 horsepower respectively. This setup delivers a total system output of 245 horsepower and is paired with a 19.7 kWh lithium-ion battery.

For a more potent option, ABT has also enhanced the Cupra Formentor VZ5, boosting 30 units to 635 horsepower and a top speed of 186 mph. This high-performance SUV is sure to turn heads on the road.

With its striking design, performance upgrades, and versatility, the ABT-tuned Volkswagen T7 Multivan and California offer an enticing blend of style and substance for those seeking a unique people-mover or camper van.
