Only one word can describe the current Scirocco design and performance. Sick!

Oettinger was successful in taking the 2.0T powerplant and getting 350hp out of it. The production kit will be out by the end of the year. This comes as a complimentary addition to the subtle bodykit that is offered for the Scirocco. A little fascia changes, a little diffuser work and a mean sounding exhaust compete for attention with the 20″ rims. For such a tiny car, 20″ rims might be overkill, but the suspension has been tuned with that in mind.

Inside decor consist of carbon inlays and aluminum everywhere. Not bad for an entry level sports car. Too bad it’s not destined for our shores.

Ever want to feel unique? Something out of the ordinary? Don’t want to pay for an S4 or an S5, yet still want the attention?

German tuner ABT has aftermarket solutions for tuning the new 2009 Audi A4’s and A5’s.

The A4 tuner kit includes the following:

Front bumper spoiler

Rear bumper spoiler

Side skirts

The A5 tuner kit includes the following:

Front bumper spoiler

Rear bumper spoiler

Side skirts

The lowering kit is an extra € 820,

It will be interesting to see how the German tuner companies will deal with the fact that the German government has effectively banned chip tuning. I guess there will be a lot more body modifications and suspension kits being sold.

Hopefully ABT does not end up like Greddy…
