The Abt Fox
Sporty ideas for smart spenders
By presenting a sportier version of the VW Fox, Abt Sportsline is proving its special feel for trends once more and at the same time is setting new standards with an exceptional campaign. All persons up to the age of 21 purchasing Abt accessories for the compact car are granted a 10 per cent discount. Hence, the Abt Fox is a hot deal for smart spenders.
The unique offer for the Abt Fox is available for everybody under 21 and is valid for the entire product range for this car. No matter whether aerodynamic parts, wheels or suspension springs, the 10 per cent discount is granted on all product groups, thus being an additional incentive for the mainly juvenile clientele.
Especially the sporty Abt add-on parts are bound to enjoy great popularity as the low front spoiler gives the Fox a marked and conspicuously powerful face. The Abt rear spoiler and 2-pipe rear muffler with a diameter of 76 mm equip the compact car with an extra portion of sportiness.
Under the sporty body shell of the Abt Fox, the handwriting of the Volkswagen specialist continues. In this connection a power upgrade for the 1.4 TDI was developed which increases output from 70 HP to powerful 95 HP and XX Nm via a modified motor management.
So as to offer a plus in driving pleasure, the Abt engineers have developed sport suspension springs for the Fox. The progressively-operating springs lower the body by 40 millimetres making the small power pack appear more dominant on asphalt. However more important than optics is improved driving dynamics. The vehicle now responds a lot more precise and agile. Due to a tighter suspension, lateral inclination is reduced and the Abt Fox masters tight corners effortlessly.
The Abt light alloy wheels type Z, in particular, are sure to find favour with teen customers. The one-piece aluminium rims in the classical five-spoke design are offered in 16 and 17 inch. The convex spokes give the wheels a juvenile and noble look.
The new Abt Fox is tailor-made for the requirements of juvenile customers. Especially the 10 per cent discount for everybody up to the age of 21 is a unique campaign in the automotive industry (starting in October 2005 on the German market only). Hence, the Abt Fox is a real host of sporty ideas for smart spenders.
