Abt c5

[PLUG239]

What exactly makes it a c5? How do you know if it's original? Is there a list of original vin numbers?

Here is some Abt info posted previously

So no way of telling by vin or some sort of register? Are they all turbo?

[Ian Simmonds]

No, Abt (founded by the late Johann Abt) are a well respected motorsports and tuning emporium. So the cars modified would have been production line customer vehicles randomly purchased from the production line. Its unlikely Abt distribute public records of customer cars.

That is an understatement. I contacted Abt regarding information about the "AANM" (I made that one up) modified AANs with 1.998 L for the Italian (and maybe Spanish) market UrS4s and UrS6s that they did. They have NO (NONE, aucun, nada, zilch, keine) info about that program any longer. Gone. (Or at least buried too far down in some Austrian cave that they can't be bothered).

So a c5 is just a coupe with a wide arch body kit?

In essance, yes.... Its a Coupe/S2 et al modified by Abt with a wide body in the early/mid 1990's...

I need to value mine for insurance ! No one seems to be able to put a value on it as there is none ever on the market!

matches my experience. when I contacted them to see if there was any info about my car they told me it had all been filed in the large grey archive that is emptied weekly
