125 YEARS OF INNOVATIVE MOBILITY AND DRIVING PLEASURE In early April, 1896, the local Bavarian newspaper contained a small article, barely a few centimetres high. It read as follows: “Johann Baptist Abt takes over blacksmiths and coachworks in Burgstraße, Kempten.” The blacksmith of yore has since developed in ABT Sportsline, the world’s largest automotive aftermarket and performance parts specialist for Audi and VW, one of the most successful international motorsport teams and an innovative electromobility pioneer. Constant improvement, setting new goals, winning – this is our motivation, both on the racetrack and in the development of intelligent tuning components for street use. That is our philosophy, which will keep us moving in the future as well.
