Abt Sportsline turns to Lamborghini for the 2025 DTM

• Team from Kempten makes early announcement regarding its involvement in the 2025 DTM
• New manufacturer after 25 years: Abt Sportsline to line up with Lamborghini in the future

Munich. Abt Sportsline is set to open a new chapter in the DTM: the team from Kempten used the event at the Red Bull Ring in Austria to present its plans for the 2025 season, which are all about Lamborghini. In the future, Abt Sportsline will start with works support from the sports car manufacturer from Sant’Agata Bolognese in Northern Italy and plans to run two Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2 next year. With ten titles to its name, the most successful of the current crop of DTM teams has set its course for 2025 in good time for the coming season.

Abt Sportsline has turned to the Huracan for its last two outings at the ADAC Ravenol 24h Nürburgring. Next year, the team will also switch manufacturer from Audi to Lamborghini in the DTM. “Abt Sportsline and Lamborghini are two brands that are perfectly suited for each other,” says Thomas Biermaier, CEO of Abt Sportsline. “We are involved in motorsport by conviction and out of passion. We also feel that passion in Sant’Agata. Our motto ‘From the racetrack to the road’ is also well suited to Lamborghini. The fact that we have agreed a long-term cooperation and will receive works assistance from Lamborghini in the DTM is an important moment for Abt Sportsline.”

Talks regarding a joint DTM presence between Abt Sportsline and the luxury Italian brand began back in 2021. “The outing in the 24-hour race was the first step in this direction,” confirms Abt Motorsport Director Martin Tomczyk, adding: “The cooperation with Lamborghini is a real pleasure, so it was a logical step for us to work together in the future, not only at the 24-hour race, but also in the DTM. We are well versed with the strengths of the Lamborghini Huracán from the 24-hour project and know that we have a car, with which we can challenge for the title. And it goes without saying that we already have one eye on the successor, the new Lamborghini Temerario.”

Rouven Mohr, CTO of Lamborghini, also welcomes the joint involvement in the DTM: “Motorsport is part of the DNA of Lamborghini. Success at the racetrack is extremely valuable for us as a sports car manufacturer. The DTM is particularly prestigious, as it has a lot of fans – and not only in Germany. We are very proud to be able to work with the most successful team in this racing series in the future. We will give Abt Sportsline maximum support and are convinced it is going to be a very strong combination.”

ADAC Motorsport Director Thomas Voss: “The new partnership between Abt Sportsline and Lamborghini is a trailblazing and pioneering commitment of an exemplary nature for all the teams and manufacturers in the DTM. We are looking forward to this new and promising chapter in the long and successful history of the ‘Äbte’ in the DTM.”
