My little C5 ABT S2.

[EB ABT s2]

is this the same car???

Yes, that's the Swedish wv Audi club "leader's" car, I think his name is Lasse Jern or something like that.
He just have some decals and a funky exhaust tip and that's the only things separating the cars but it's a nice looking car

I think the DM mark was almost the same as the dollar back then so it was a fairly expensive build.

It's not steel, I think it's actually kevlar, I have worked on fibreglass and it's not the same for sure. It really thick and yellow and it's stiff as hell.

Great info
So was the kit fitted "over" a normal coupe body? Or was the body cut etc to fit the ABT parts?

[speeding-g60]

i would also take a set of that body.... at least "wings" and quarters/door skins.

[speeding-g60]

i would also take a set of that body kit if someone made them. if the car were here in USA i would most certainly make a mold of it.

at least fenders/wings and quarter/door panels. maybe not the wing due to complexity....

That is a seriously sexy S2, I normally don't like kits but this one just works perfectly!

Some parts of the kit was fitted on the body and some places it was cut and molded in to the car. Everything is seamless so it must have been a painstaking jobb.

Zlobo on the forum has a red C5.
I know there is a RHD Titan grey ABT coupe in the UK, I saw it for sale a few years ago not knowing what it was. It has not surfaced since then AFAIK

Henkjan's Abt C5

[Henkjan]

Do you own a C5 ABT as well? If you do do you have some info on your car?

yes, I own an Abt C5, also a red one

It is a '95 ABY, I own it since 2002, original dutch registration. The 1st owner drove straight to Abt after he bought the car for the modifications (C5 boby, lower suspension, chiptuning). Other than a full black interior (also the roof lining) and Recaro's in the front it is rather standard equipped. I have not modified much: replaced the std cats for a single race cat (and removed the center muffler), Supersprint downpipe, Porsche Boxter brakes, OZ Superlegera wheels.

so this is how I bought it:

and this is how it looks now:
S2%20met%20OZ%201.jpg


So then this is the list of known S2 Abt C5's:
1- Sweden. (Slobo)
1- Norway. (EB Abt S2)
1- Finland. Sold form Sweden (??)
1- Poland. (??)
2- On road in germany. (??)
1- Netherlands (Henkjan)
4- in "museums" in Germany. Old racing cars form ABT (where?)
I have added the owners (as far as I know)

Where in Norway do you live? Maybe we can have a C5 gathering in the summer, somewhere south of Sweden maybe?

There is also a red ABT cabrio, it was for sale a while ago for about 20,000euro IIRC

[Jamo]

Isnt' there an ABT with a 2.7 biturbo engine?

[Error404]

yeah this one, but I'm not sure it is an oringinal ABT car: looks more like the kit they raced with. Love it, except the headlight eyebrows, big gay wing, stickers and naff cossie vents. why?!
