Older than Audi. The official answer.
Philosophy
ABT's 125-year history predates the Audi brand by decades. The founding family built carriages before automobiles existed, and the philosophy of enhancing the platform you have — rather than replacing it — runs unbroken through every generation. That pragmatic continuity is what makes ABT the only tuner Audi trusts with its Formula E programme.
Unlike performance-only houses, ABT builds complete vehicles. The RS6-R and RS7-R aren't tuned road cars — they're production-specification limited editions, built in Kempten, with ABT VINs and their own homologation. That manufacturer-grade accountability is the foundation of the warranty proposition.
