(from VOGTLAND Press
Release) VOGTLAND Autosport has produced an uncomparable
Audi A3 Sportback in collaboration with the well-known tuning and
accessories specialists ITS, Rieger, FoliaTec, HJS, Sebring, Clarion
and Toyo-Tires.
This was a unique
challenge for the VOGTLAND-Team to provide the rather young Audi A3
Sportback with a new look. The result is a A3 Sportback with maximum
individuality. With this project car VOGTLAND - the German
suspension specialist - has again offered an example of safe tuning
with a German TÜV - certificate, making an exceptional contribution
to the Tuning scene with their coil over suspension and sport
accessories.
It is natural that a
VOGTLAND-coil over suspension with a lowering of 50 mm in the front
and in the back provides an excellent contact between the wheel and
street. The springs consist of a high-strength alloyed chrom-silicone
steel. The coil over suspension kit is available as height and
damping adjustable or only height adjustable as well as with a
chromed finish.
The VOGTLAND-Team brings
the outer appearance of the A3 into agreement with the company
Rieger from Eggenfelden. There they assembled a spoiler boss made of
ABSplastics at the front- and rear spoiler. The front spoiler has an
additional spoiler sword in carbon look. The side skirts are also in
the look of the material from the motor sports. The true to size and
high-quality floodlight blinds provide an aggressive look including
overtaking prestige.
For the perfect finish
the A3 got the roof spoiler in the high version, which has - as all
parts from Rieger - a TÜV-certificate.
The wheel rims called
Titanium RS1 Chrome with the size 8.5 x 19 inch are an innovation
from ITS - the difference from Roetgen. The wheel rims are
tripartite and consist to some extent of a titanium-aluminium-composition
which comes from the aerospace. The outcome of this is a very low
weight of the rim. The external rim sheet consists of high-grade
steel, which is polished on high gloss by hand
The rims allow enough space for the gigantic brake system from the
company ITS.
So a 6-pot brake system
works on the front axle with a diameter of the brake disk of 360 mm.
The brake system offers first-class deceleration and already proved
its durability at numerous racings at the Nürburgring north loop
line. Concerning the tyres VOGTLAND trusts in the Toyo Proxes T1-R.
The Toyos combine excellent handling with brilliant wetness
characteristics and a low noise level. The glass-tinge-foil from
Folia Tec helps to prevent strong heating of the interior of the car
by insolation.
The Clarion VRX848RVD is
for the right sound and entertainment. It has numerous
playback/rendition-media like radio, CD, MP3 and DVD. And if you get
lost on your way the navigation unit from Clarion will help you to
get into the right direction.
A Sebring-Twister
exhaust pipe made of high-grade steel is responsible for the fitting
motor sound outside the car. So that you can enjoy the Sebring
exhaust sound without having a bad conscience the exhaust gases will
be cleaned by a soot filter from the company HJS from Menden.
As we are the importeurs
of the brand SPARCO the VOGTLAND-Team has - of course - attached
some products of the Italian sports specialist in the A3. VOGTLAND
says THANK YOU to all the involved partners for their engagement !
