Bus a Move: Abt T5 Sport Plus package for VW Multivan
Click image to enlarge
To celebrate the 60th birthday of the VW Bus, Abt Sportsline has worked some of its black magic on the T5 Multivan's TDI powerplants. The Abt-enhanced 1.9 TDI produces either 110 or 130 horses, while the tuned 2.5 TDI offers up either 160 or 195 HP. Torque increases by an unspecified amount in all applications as well. To complete the package, Abt recommends you add its upgraded springs, new wheel/tire combo, full body kit, and sport muffler. Euro buyers who want to blow out the candles and salute the 60 years of the Bus in style can begin doing so on December 31.

I would rather buy an original one and have it restored. A far better way to salute the 60 years of the Bus.

I want to know what happened to the mini bus concept? I thought VW was going to build a production version.
