Over the last 20+ years, ABT have competed in over 300 races in the DTM alone and are the most successful active DTM team, with over 250 podiums, dozens of individual victories and several driver and constructor titles.
But now ABT has achieved their greatest victory: They have put a racing car on the road – the ABT XGT*.
Together with ABT's long-standing partner Scherer Sport, they have shared this dream and turned it into reality.
Its origin: racetrack
Its heritage is unmistakable. Our credo with this vehicle was to incorporate as much racetrack as possible. And we succeeded. The extent of the design challenges, which have definitely exceeded the scope of classic vehicle development, is incredible.
THE FASCINATION OF RACING
The foundation of the ABT XGT is the Audi R8 LMS GT2. The R8 is the head of the GT family and is at the forefront in terms of engine power and top speed with its 640 HP V10 engine and was specifically tailored by Audi for "gentleman drivers". Its minimalistic racing cockpit, the spectacular air scoop above the roof, its flared side blades and dramatically curved fenders also have a unique effect on everyone. And even the least impressed will be wowed upon pressing the start button to unleash the XGT’s sound.
The ABT XGT has been extensively tested to meet all the demands on the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring, the Sachsenring and the Hockenheimring perfectly. ABT's development drivers were none other than DTM drivers Kevin van der Linde and Ricardo Feller, ABT Motorsport Director Martin Tomczyk and Frank Stippler.
Built to win
The ABT XGT’s unbridled 5.2-liter V10 engine delivers 640 HP* and has a comparatively light 1,400 kg/ 3,086 lbs unladen weight, making it an absolute top athlete in its class. In addition, the exclusive exterior and the incomparable, awe-inspiring sound make it unmistakably clear: This is a super sports car.
NO COMPROMISES
With its exterior, roadholding, steering and acceleration the ABT XGT is and remains an absolute racing machine in every aspect. Acceleration in the two-seater rear-wheel drive car comes from the V10 engine with four valves per cylinder and four overhead camshafts. The 5,204 ccm/ 518 ci engine generates 640 HP at 8,000 rpm and enables a top speed of 310 km/h or 193 mph.
Both in the interior and technically, the focus is on the essentials. Just holding the impressive racing steering wheel in your hands makes the heart of any true motorsport fan skip a beat.
In addition to tire pressure, speed, and fuel consumption, the race display also shows gear selection, engine oil and cooling water temperature. The center console with main switch and handbrake also instils a pure racing feel.
The 7-speed S-tronic gearbox with paddles ensures flawless shifts and the racing suspension with specially manufactured springs provide perfect road holding by means of its two adjustment levels, facilitating the perfect setup for every track.
