VW/Audi go-faster masters ABT have taken the wraps off (geddit?) a new full-vehicle foil treatment designed to fool passers-by into thinking you’ve rebodied your R8 with carbon-fibre panels.
Also available for A4 and Q7 models, the funky foil is designed to precisely cover every panel to every corner and edge, giving a real factory-type finish, the company says.
According to Hans-Jürgen Abt, the German company’s MD, the new matt carbon film is
virtually indistinguishable from real carbon panels, with even the texture of the material exactly reproduced.
“When a vehicle is fully wrapped it appears more aggressive and dynamic, as carbon is the extremely stable material used for weight reduction in professional motorsport,” says Hans-Jürgen. “Of course ABT’s film does not have this feature, but it’s considerably less expensive.”
