ABT Sportsline GmbH

A statement of exclusivity and sophistication. After revealing the first-ever ABT RSQ8 Legacy Edition at our #FriendsOfABT event last week, the second one now takes individuality to the next level. Featuring a fully customised "Racing Green" interior, this ABT RSQ8-LE marks the introduction of the ABT #Individual program for the #RSQ8! "From the RSQ8-S to the RSQ8-R and the RSQ8 Signature Edition, we have continuously developed the potential of this outstanding vehicle. With the ABT RSQ8-LE, the Legacy Edition series is now complete, which already includes the RS6-LE and RS7-LE. RSQ8 customers value the special, the extraordinary. This is the very reason why all stops were pulled out when developing the customised interior for this vehicle," explains Hans-Jürgen Abt. The refinement options of the ABT Individual interior programme are almost endless: from high-quality #leather and the finest #Alcantara to exclusive #Dinamica - the choice extends across countless colour nuances and material combinations - every element can be tailored individually. The technical attributes of the RSQ8-LE remain as impressive as before: 760 HP and 980 Nm of torque catapult the luxury SUV into a performance league of its own. The sophisticated ABT suspension with electronic roll stabilisation ensures a remarkable balance of dynamics and comfort. The ABT Individual program is now available for all #RS6, #RS7 and #RSQ8 models.

And we were really happy to see that our friends from all over the world had great conversations, shared ideas, and simply enjoyed the time together.

ABT and CUPRA take their partnership to a new level ???? We are further expanding our close partnership with CUPRA: From 2026, customers will be able to order ABT special models in the official configurator of the Spanish brand – which marks our first cooperation on this level with a manufacturer. The first models and details of the cooperation have been presented at yesterday's "Friends of ABT" event in Kempten. The partnership will start next year with special models of the #Formentor and #Leon. “CUPRA and ABT have enjoyed an intensive and trusting partnership for many years, which is now being taken to a new level with this cooperation,” says Hans-Jürgen Abt. “We are happy to present a customized special edition of the CUPRA Formentor and Leon that carries the ABT denomination.” “Our brands have been closely linked since the founding of CUPRA – both in road car production and on the racetrack,” says ABT CEO Thomas Biermaier. “With the new, even closer cooperation, customers all over the world can look forward to extraordinary special models in the future.” The first two vehicles are just the start of a long-term collaboration over the coming years. “The CUPRA and ABT collaboration has delivered iconic vehicles that mix the unconventional challenger brand’s ethos with ABT’s unique approach to performance. From the limited edition CUPRA Formentor VZ5 #BAT x ABT and its raw road performance to fighting for results in race series including Extreme E and Formula E, the partnership has delivered sales and wins,” said CUPRA’s Executive Vice-President for Sales and Marketing Sven Schuwirth. “Now we’re taking it to a new level. Building on the incredible foundations to produce variants of some of the most desirable models from the heart of Barcelona to customers globally.” ___ The new partnership was presented together with the first two special models at the “Friends of ABT” event on Thursday evening at the ABT headquarters: More than 250 partners, dealers, media representatives and guests experienced a show of superlatives in Kempten, where new cars from motorsport and refinement were presented. The show was hosted by Marina and Daniel Abt, the fifth generation of the family business founded in 1896. #ABT #CUPRA #FriendsOfABT Special thanks to Wayne Griffiths, Sven Schuwirth, Jorge Diez, Ignacio Prieto Cardona & Alexander Buk ????

ABT competes with two Lamborghini in 24-hour classic ?? Double dedication on the legendary #Nordschleife: ABT will be fielding two #Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 at this year’s edition of the 24-hour race (21/22 June 2025). The international team of seven drivers will be led by reigning DTM champion Mirko Bortolotti. This weekend the team will be testing at the NLS season opener at the #Nürburgring. It will be ABT’s twelfth appearance in the 24-hour classic. In 2023, the brand returned to the Nordschleife alongside Lamborghini after a five-year break and has caused quite a stir in the past two years. With two cars on the grid, the team led by Motorsport Director Martin Tomczyk is now looking to attack the front. “We know and love the special challenges of this race – that’s what makes it so fascinating. With our extended commitment we want to be even better prepared for all eventualities,” says Tomczyk. “Having two cars on the grid gives us twice the chance of managing the 24 hours without any major incidents.“ ? When it comes to the selection of drivers, ABT can rely on huge experience at the wheel of?the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2: With Mirko Bortolotti (Italy), Christian Engelhardt (Germany), Luca Engstler (Germany), Marco Mapelli (Italy), JORDAN PEPPER (South Africa) and Franck Perera (France), the line-up includes six drivers from the Lamborghini squad, joined by Spaniard Daniel Juncadella. “We are delighted to have put together such a strong team,” says Martin Tomczyk. “Not only do the guys have a lot of GT3 and Lamborghini experience, but they also fit together very well on a personal level – and they all want to be successful in this famous race.” The drivers will be assigned to the two cars at a later date. ? The first partners for the race have already been signed. Like last year, Red Bull will set the appearance on the racetrack. The Schaeffler Group, SüDPACK Group and H&R Spezialfedern GmbH & Co. KG are also on board. “It is great to see the huge interest of our partners in this project,” says Head of Sports Marketing Harry Unflath. “Even if not all partners are confirmed yet, one thing is clear: the fans can look forward to two spectacular Lamborghini race cars from Kempten.” ? This weekend (21/22 March), preparations for the season’s highlight will also begin on the racetrack: ABT will be fielding a car in the first event of the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS). Bortolotti, Engstler, Juncadella and Pepper will take turns at the wheel. The next outings are scheduled for the NLS race on 9/10 May and the qualifiers from 23–25 May. #ABTSportsline?#RedBull?#GivesYouWiings?#24hNBR?#NLS Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. | Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co.

"Dream Team & Dream Machine": ABT Sportsline presents its DTM team for the 2025 season ???? A touch of 007 in the Alps: Red Bull and ABT Sportsline get in the mood for the new #DTM season with a team presentation at an altitude of over 2,000 metres. The stars of a spectacular action film shoot at the foot of the famous Timmelsjoch mountain: two #Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 cars and the two new DTM drivers of the Bavarian team: defending champion Mirko Bortolotti (35/Italy) and Nicki Thiim (35/Denmark). “After 25 years with Audi, we are now also competing in the DTM with the factory support of Lamborghini,” says ABT Motorsport Director Martin Tomczyk. “We want to fight for victories and the title with our new cars and drivers right from the start. Mirko Bortolotti has the number 1 on his car, which is an incentive to defend it during the year and beyond. Everyone knows how strong Mirko is. He hardly ever makes a mistake on the track and is also a good fit for ABT Sportsline as a person. Nicki more than just showed his potential in his first full DTM season with his victory at the Norisring. The two of them also get on very well personally, which is very important to me. And the way they threw themselves into the Red Bull film shoot in the Alps from early in the morning until late at night with full passion showed me that they both have exactly the right attitude. I am sure that they will give us and our fans plenty of reason to cheer.” “A new era is dawning for ABT Sportsline in the DTM,” says Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of the ABT Group. “I am very proud that we are bringing together two iconic brands in the DTM, Red Bull and Lamborghini, and that two of the world’s best GT drivers will be competing for us. I am already extremely excited about the first race.” The new DTM season starts on 26/27 April at #Oschersleben, near Magdeburg. Tickets are available at tickets.dtm.com.
