Over the last 20+ years, we 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 we have achieved our greatest victory: We have put a racing car on the road – the ABT XGT*.
Together with our long-standing partner Scherer Sport, we have shared this dream and turned it into reality.
* Off-Road / Track Use Only in North America; 5,2 l V10 FSI (gasoline) 470 kW/ 640 hp; Fuel consumption combined in l/100 km: 17,5; CO2-emissions combined in g/km: 394 (WLTP Valiues); CO2 class: G. The figures partly represent prototype vehicles and may differ from the actual specifications of the ABT XGT. The final figures can be found in the configurator at the bottom of this page.
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 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. Our development drivers were none other than DTM drivers Kevin van der Linde and Ricardo Feller, ABT Motorsport Director Martin Tomczyk and Frank Stippler.
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.

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.

The demands of motorsport and road use are worlds apart. But in two eventful and equally strenuous years, our engineers succeeded in meeting them both, which seemed almost impossible.
All necessary technical adjustments in the areas of thermal management, software and the highly complex vehicle diagnostic system have been carefully implemented to preserve the character of the race car. For everyday usability, the tank system from series production was integrated, the instrument cluster was modified for regular use, and the handbrake, central locking and a rear view camera and immobiliser were incorporated. The control panel has been adapted for road use and features controls for the electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, air conditioning and indicators. The special exhaust system including after treatment components had to meet KBA emission specifications. In addition, the chassis was equipped with ABT suspension springs.
Of course, the focus was also on safety: An XGT complete vehicle was subjected to demanding side and front crash tests, and in elaborate tests all KBA requirements with regard to brakes and loudness were met.
As unique as you are: In addition to the basic color, choose your preferred accent color and the appropriate decor.
