ABT Sportsline and Cupra will build special models

In 2026, Cupra will launch new generations of Formentor and Leon, and these models will be the basis for a new joint project between the manufacturer and ABT Sportsline. It is a series of modified cars that will be part of the Cupra range.

“Cupra and ABT have enjoyed an intensive and trusting partnership for years, and the cooperation is now being taken to a new level. We are happy to present special versions of the Cupra Formentor and Leon, which carry the ABT badge,” said Hans-Jurgen Abt, CEO of the ABT Group.

The two companies already cooperate in the Extreme E and Formula E motorsport series. The official announcement did not provide information about chassis or performance improvements for the Leon and Formentor, which means that the changes could actually be limited to aesthetics.

ABT Sportsline will produce a special bodykit that includes a sharper front splitter, side skirts and rear bumper extensions, a larger rear spoiler, ABT badging, and a new set of 21-inch wheels. Leon and Formentor are just the beginning of the modification that other Cupra models will undergo as well.

Thieves stole 300,000 euros worth of parts from ABT Sportsline

German tuner ABT Sportsline is known for some of the best sports car upgrades, especially for Audi cars and the related primary Volkswagen Group brands. However, popularity also has its downsides. Recently, an unknown group of thieves stole car parts worth 300,000 euros.

Several photos have been published showing the thieves removing the rims and expensive carbon-ceramic brakes from parked cars. According to Daniel Abt, the thieves targeted seven cars in total, and the company believes that this could not have been done by amateurs, because the power supply and lighting were disabled before the theft. The police are currently investigating the case.

One of the cars from which the thieves stole the expensive forged rims and carbon-ceramic brakes is an Audi RS6. ABT believes that these parts will be sold on the black market.

Obviously, ABT Sportsline should have better security.

Urus Scatenato based on Lamborghini Urus Performante

Last year, Lamborghini unveiled a lighter version of its popular SUV, the Lamborghini Urus Performante. This is the most powerful version of this model, which the German tuner ABT Sportsline made more powerful by creating the Urus Scatenato.

ABT Sportsline is known for upgrading German cars, mostly with a focus on power. The Urus Performante was no exception, as its 4.0L biturbo V8 engine now has 810 hp (596 kW). The performance of the car is not known. It is equipped with ABT Power R technology, ABT turbocharger, a newly developed titanium exhaust system with quadruple ends, but also several carbon components that increase the car’s handling.

As a reminder, the standard Performante has 666 hp (490 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h).

ABT will offer only 99 examples of the Urus Scatenato which will be fitted with exclusive 23-inch black IRL wheels.
