Veloce Special Operations is a proud reseller and fitment centre for ABT Sportsline in South Africa.
Germany-based ABT Sportsline is the largest tuning provider for vehicles from the Volkswagen and Audi Group. As a family-run business, ABT can trace its roots back over 125 years, to Johann Abt, a blacksmith, who founded an innovation workshop in 1896 where new ideas were forged. Johann Abt invented a carriage which could also be used as a sleigh in the harsh, snowy winters.
Fast-forward to 1950, Johann Abt, the grandson of their founder, completed his first car race, followed by more than 300 motorsport victories, laying the cornerstone for ABT motorsports activities. ABT Tuning was later founded in 1967, and in 1991 the prestigious ABT company headquarters was established in Kempten, Bavaria, along with an impressive motorsports centre and museum in 2014.

SHOWCASE
The limited number of units of the RSQ8 Signature Edition is a reference to ABT's founding year in 1896, when company founder
Johann Abt laid the foundation for today's global company with his horse forge known for innovative solutions.
As was already the case with the Johann Abt Signature Edition, there is now again an extensive aerodynamic kit with
a special and once again completely different surface structure. "Signature Carbon Bold" is the motto this time for a large number of add-on parts. In addition, there are very special forged wheels of the type HIGH PERFORMANCE "Signature Edition 23 glossy black",
an impressive interior and much more.
It's not just the attractive look of the RSQ8 Signature Edition that is impressive. Thanks to the ABT Power R performance upgrade, the V8 biturbo engine now produces an impressive 800 HP (589 kW).
This means that the Racing Utility Vehicle from ABT Sportsline can reach speeds of up to 315 km/h and sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. The intercooler and turbocharger specially developed for the Signature Edition models, in combination with the high-tech ABT Engine Control (AEC) unit, ensure a performance that is worthy of racing.
New owners were found almost as quickly, so that ABT Sportsline's stock is completely sold out. "Only a hand-picked number are still available from our sales partners. We knew that with the RSQ8 Signature Edition we had created a truly special automobile for our customers.
The great interest in our Racing Utility Vehicle is a confirmation of our work and naturally makes us very happy," explains Managing Partner Hans-Jürgen Abt. The first vehicles, all hand-built by experienced racing mechanics, will be delivered soon.
Automotive exclusivity has a name: RSQ8 Signature Edition.
