Dear Sir or Madam,

At the Extreme E season finale Klara Andersson will start alongside Nasser Al-Attiyah for ABT CUPRA XE. The 22-year-old Swede replaces Jutta Kleinschmidt, who continues to recover from an accident at the previous race in Chile. Already at the series’ event in the Atacama Desert, Andersson had spontaneously stepped in after free practice and surprisingly clinched a trophy together with Al-Attiyah.

“I think Extreme E is super cool. The championship combines motorsport with a clear message, lets men and women compete together, comes to the most spectacular places around the world,” says Klara Andersson.

“We are in constant touch with Jutta and sincerely wish her a continued good recovery,” says ABT CEO Thomas Biermaier. “At the same time, we are pleased that we managed to have Klara in the team for the season finale after her strong debut in Chile. After the podium finish, our goal is clear: we want to end our second season in Extreme E, in which there have been some ups and downs, on a high.”

Company profile of ABT Sportsline

 

ABT Sportsline in Germany is the world’s largest tuner for vehicles of the VW Group, especially for Audi models. The product line ranges from more engine power to body kits, over suspensions and interior design, to an extensive collection of alloy wheels. The ABT Individual program allows even for exclusive tailor-made solutions. The Bavaria-based company also competes in racing activities at the highest international level: For example as a privateer team at the DTM (German Touring Car Masters) or also very successfully at the Formula E. The first steps in the electric racing series were already taken in 2014 and crowned with the championship title in 2017. But the topic of electromobility is also playing an increasingly important role elsewhere in the company. For example, the in-house ABT e-Line GmbH, whose roots go back more than a decade, is currently converting the VW T6.1 into an electric transporter for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

At the cutting edge of technology since 1896
 
The roots of ABT Sportsline go back to a farrier’s shop which was founded in Kempten, Bavaria, in 1896. Their most innovative product: A carriage which, thanks to a clever folding mechanism, could be used as a sled. Soon after, the focus turned to motor vehicles: From approx. 1920 on, AUTO-ABT sold and repaired the former brands, which later gave birth to the Audi AG. This set the stage for the company’s situation today. In 1950, Johann Abt, the founder’s grandson, won his first car race and laid the foundation for the company’s racing activities. But he also enjoyed fast cars in everyday life. For this reason he founded ABT Tuning in 1967, in 1978 he tuned the first VW Golf and already in 1980 he brought the first chip tuning product to the market. After that, things went very quickly. Finally, in 1991, the new prestigious company headquarters, which also includes an own museum, were established in the “Johann Abt”-Street. In 2014, a motor sport center was added.
