ABT Sportsline and Lamborghini Squadra Corse – this partnership has been thrilling spectators at the Nürburgring 24 Hours for two years. Now, DTM fans can look forward to this strong combination as well: from 2025, ABT Sportsline will also compete in Germany’s most important racing series with factory support from the Italian sports car manufacturer. The plan is to field two Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 cars.
“We got to know and love each other during the 24-hour project,” says Thomas Biermaier, CEO of ABT Sportsline. “ABT Sportsline and Lamborghini are two brands that fit together perfectly. We are passionate about motorsport. This passion can also be felt in Sant’Agata. Our motto ‘From the racetrack to the road’ fits Lamborghini just as well. The fact that we were able to agree on a long-term cooperation and that Lamborghini will support us at the factory level in the DTM in the future is an important moment for ABT Sportsline.”
Discussions about a possible joint DTM commitment began as early as 2021. “The participation in the 24-hour race was the first step in this direction,” says ABT Motorsport Director Martin Tomczyk. “We enjoy working with Lamborghini, so it was a logical step for us to work together not only in the 24-hour race but also in the DTM in the future. We are very familiar with the strengths of the Lamborghini Huracán from our 24-hour project and know that we will have a car with which we can fight for titles. And, of course, we are already looking at its successor, the new Lamborghini Temerario.”
“Motorsport is part of Lamborghini’s DNA,” says Rouven Mohr, CTO of Lamborghini. “Success on the racetrack is extremely valuable for us as a sports car manufacturer. The DTM has a special meaning because it has many fans, not only in Germany. To be able to work with the most successful team in this racing series in the future makes us very proud. We will support ABT Sportsline to the maximum and are convinced that it will be a very strong combination.”
