2011 ABT DR Wheel

ABT DR. The wheel. Reduced to its most exceptional.
The development of a new wheel is a part of evolution – at ABT Sportsline this is clear from
the name: the latest master piece from the Design Department of the vehicle tuner is called
DR and follows on from the successful creations AR, BR and CR. And just like each of its
predecessors it is refreshingly different, excitingly dynamic and an eye-catcher “even without
a car”. In the new DR alloy from ABT Sportsline the previously gained experience
culminates in a special, confident statement – and precisely because of this the second letter
could easily stand for "RIGHT” as in the “right wheel”. The ABT DR is reduced to its most
exceptional, it is exclusive and expressive and suits the cars of the Volkswagen group
excellently, after all it was designed precisely for them.
Available in 18 to 22 inch, it harmonises with the bold curves of the Audi A7 or the VW
Passat CC or even with large limousines – the Audi A6 or Škoda Superb. The wheel looks
just as good on the VW Golf and VW Scirocco as on sporty SUVs, such as the Audi Q5 or
the VW Touareg. Those who are confident enough to prove they have special taste, get a
sophisticated highlight of engineering with the new DR. This is because the wheel has been
weight-optimised and was co-developed by the Motorsport Department of ABT Sportsline.
The influence of the tried and tested DTM and GT Masters professionals is evident on the
outside with the engraving ABT Motorsport on the alloy rim.
The design also bears the hallmarks of motorsport, combining pure dynamism with elegance:
the successful 3D impression ensures that the wheel exudes thrust and speed even when at
a standstill. Arranged at different angles, turned inwards and running to the outside – the five
double spokes stand for power and lightness, as well as movement and stability. The
extravagant gun-metal look also gives the “hot” sporty nature of the alloy from ABT an extra
dose of coolness. Although the Bavarians have not actually reinvented the wheel, they have
redefined it by the interplay of shapes and colours. ABT DR – THE WHEEL.
