Starting with the 2.0-liter TSI, the engine has been tuned to produce 240 PS (176 kW / 237 hp) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. It enables the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 9.4 seconds. On the diesel side, the 84 PS (62 kW / 83 hp) 2.0-liter TDI has been upgraded to produce 110 PS (81 kW / 108 hp). Likewise, the 102 PS (75 kW / 101 hp) variant has been tweaked to develop 130 PS (96 kW / 128 hp). Lastly, the 140 PS (103 kW / 138 hp) variant has been tuned to produce 170 PS (125 kW / 168 hp) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. The van can also be equipped with the previously announced body kit that includes a new grille, revised side skirts and a modified rear bumper.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> Press release:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <em>"POWER PACKHORSE" WITH STYLE AND SPORTING SPIRIT - THE NEW ABT MULTIVAN</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;">ABT Multivan reminds Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of the worlds largest tuning company for cars manufactured by the Volkswagen Group, of basketball player Dirk Nowitzki: "The car can manage a lot of (shopping) baskets and is fast and agile despite its XXL size." The vehicle, plainly called "T5", is an achiever; the ABT specialists give the great-grandson of the so-called Bulli (the original VW van) a new look, which gives the model athlete an extravagant appearance and an extremely agile feel. Of course, the additional performance provided to the Multivan by ABT also benefits its every-day properties. Power reserves are useful for anyone who wants to transport kit and caboodle, a mobile workshop or - if necessary - a complete household. Therefore: let van be a noble creature, helpful and fast.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The modern engines of the T5 are economical and designed for diversity. The engineers of ABT Sportsline had "sportiness" and "dynamics" on their to-do list - of course, in combination with virtually matchless reliability, the hallmark of VW buses. The 2.0 TSI now achieves a powerful 240 HP (176 kW) instead of the standard 204 HP (150 kW). A torque of 400 Nm makes sure that the ABT Multivan doesn't get "out of breath", even when it is fully loaded. The more powerful version of the 2.0 TDI comes to a vigorous 170 HP/125 kW (standard: 140 HP/103 kW), again with a torque of 400 Nm. By the way, if you decide to buy one of the less powerful versions of the diesel engine, you can equip it with additional ABT POWER. 84 HP (62 kW) are transformed into 110 HP (81 kW), and 102 HP (75 kW) are transformed into a powerful 130 HP (96 kW).</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The ABT Multivan is confident; it doesn't make itself look small. This would not be possible anyway, because it is 5.5 metres in length with the long wheelbase of 3,400 mm. The designers from Bavaria underline the dominant appearance of the T5 even more. The aerodynamics packages are available for models with short or long wheelbases - and include a front spoiler in combination with the front grille, side and rear skirts, which make the car appear closer to the road and symbolise dynamism. The rear spoiler presses the Multivan down and makes the transport vehicle look assertive and sporty. All components are perfectly matched; rear skirt and rear spoiler form a harmonious unit in combination with the exhaust system with its two double tail pipes, typical for the ABT Sportsline premium brand. Suspension updates are designed for the bearing loads of the Multivan, but still ensure much better road holding for the "power packhorse".</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The DR 19 inch sport rim is the perfect choice to go with the dynamic look and sporty acceleration, which speeds up the large van with the 2.0 TSI petrol engine to 100 km/h in 9.4 seconds. The gun metal look and the machine-relieved rim communicate motion and an urge to move forwards. Of course, the rim is also available in combination with tyres that are the perfect match for the sporty ambition and bearing load of this exceptional car.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-hH5HvmPN3yMHMfaHXr_Q-faiJYjWf_R0DmUHPgOhFuSBo1d1K4kvygj6IYX_EFfmZy8dlhkGPj7zQsI88C-5vl0M-WPWqkxt2XiAa20bT48oK8n5lTIjqdchODI2Fabix815gyDmT3EB/s1600/Volkswagen+T5+by+ABT+Sportsline+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="141" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-hH5HvmPN3yMHMfaHXr_Q-faiJYjWf_R0DmUHPgOhFuSBo1d1K4kvygj6IYX_EFfmZy8dlhkGPj7zQsI88C-5vl0M-WPWqkxt2XiAa20bT48oK8n5lTIjqdchODI2Fabix815gyDmT3EB/s200/Volkswagen+T5+by+ABT+Sportsline+2.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPWKfsO6MQd5C3sVx4OefHq_PphOCmCyxIEPQnIrpALu3sZm-1MDHnTqhgX8oClLGOgqf0qQjBeUgrz1f8ZYvaYl1oEvqM1MrW7tGkcfQxUBw-fg4_yVlebLsIU2ZapCtA9JyDqdUnnwbz/s1600/Volkswagen+T5+by+ABT+Sportsline+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="141" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPWKfsO6MQd5C3sVx4OefHq_PphOCmCyxIEPQnIrpALu3sZm-1MDHnTqhgX8oClLGOgqf0qQjBeUgrz1f8ZYvaYl1oEvqM1MrW7tGkcfQxUBw-fg4_yVlebLsIU2ZapCtA9JyDqdUnnwbz/s200/Volkswagen+T5+by+ABT+Sportsline+1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div></div>

Now, the German tuner doesn't say which power plant they're dealing with here but we have to guess that it's the 2.0 liter TDI diesel with an output of 132 kW (179 PS / 177 bhp) and 400 Nm (300 lb-ft) of churning power.</p> <p>MR Car Design also lifts the V-max lock and adds a new 4-pipe sport exhaust system for the proper 'cool van' sound.</p> <p>The aerodynamic kit is supplied by Abt Sportsline and features a front-and-rear spoiler, a new grill, fog light inserts and side skirts. The headlamps also get LED daytime running lights.</p> <p>For the air ride suspension, a lowering of up to 100 mm is offered. Wheels are the 10 x 22-inch TN4 Tomason in black alloy fitted with 265/30R22 tires.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZgu6BFQfhdVh2NiHB_QYORvKKWSLL-rCo16rS_fom-OIwcCVa57BJEzvuigo10DpNpVQmODft6npu0yKZDoFi4B4LVUDg2xaWMm-UzoZzS67UfYveegd7CPAsOHt1X4DPPTETJJEQTkA/s1600/VW+T5+by+MR+Car+Design+1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609951709564126098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZgu6BFQfhdVh2NiHB_QYORvKKWSLL-rCo16rS_fom-OIwcCVa57BJEzvuigo10DpNpVQmODft6npu0yKZDoFi4B4LVUDg2xaWMm-UzoZzS67UfYveegd7CPAsOHt1X4DPPTETJJEQTkA/s200/VW+T5+by+MR+Car+Design+1.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" /></a></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXy_ek96piRxcArgtgCeSROepIDo3sxpU2_vFRoqU1DccprAw_u-sundVaIy0kwb1rXEVr3812QflKDWEmXJGiAddIFg56Z3fQLaByuVvtgS_Qlhm6ibuTu2pb1RZQrduhqtlFCpagCYo/s1600/VW+T5+by+MR+Car+Design+2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609951770620242002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXy_ek96piRxcArgtgCeSROepIDo3sxpU2_vFRoqU1DccprAw_u-sundVaIy0kwb1rXEVr3812QflKDWEmXJGiAddIFg56Z3fQLaByuVvtgS_Qlhm6ibuTu2pb1RZQrduhqtlFCpagCYo/s200/VW+T5+by+MR+Car+Design+2.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfGh-Q3j4Ps-B0M1hsmQ8xSzM2DX9PnzM4C-cb6tsHMbI0FjoBY9yzW-_6cM6Zi8ZU39QF4nMSeDeXE5QcprjjenUpS7yolJQSlAHRFuEygsrUuFui-xgTQMoEQuD4MPLCYajyckMC4k/s1600/VW+T5+by+MR+Car+Design+3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609950929044956050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfGh-Q3j4Ps-B0M1hsmQ8xSzM2DX9PnzM4C-cb6tsHMbI0FjoBY9yzW-_6cM6Zi8ZU39QF4nMSeDeXE5QcprjjenUpS7yolJQSlAHRFuEygsrUuFui-xgTQMoEQuD4MPLCYajyckMC4k/s200/VW+T5+by+MR+Car+Design+3.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW4fb7oF9pBjAA8_82d52jZeJxJ67DKy4F4ikNuMXUYMbXsseHDe1YiUylNvrgkfeqfe3nWyW7N5wBIvUzIZZ0udKCO4wOcJee5bk6VUzjZm0LKOzdWb-Q9qRg1S_LLxsrKfHc6hGo7gk/s1600/VW+T5+by+MR+Car+Design+4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609951015275817394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW4fb7oF9pBjAA8_82d52jZeJxJ67DKy4F4ikNuMXUYMbXsseHDe1YiUylNvrgkfeqfe3nWyW7N5wBIvUzIZZ0udKCO4wOcJee5bk6VUzjZm0LKOzdWb-Q9qRg1S_LLxsrKfHc6hGo7gk/s200/VW+T5+by+MR+Car+Design+4.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" /></a><br /></p>
