2006 Audi A3 Sportback by Vogtland

(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 TUV - 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 TUV-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 Nьrburgring 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 !
