Development
From the performance upgrade to the chassis, from the first sketch to the extensive tests on our test bench, on the racetrack and even in the wind tunnel - every detail is designed and developed in-house and approved by our critical quality assurance team.
It all starts with an idea
Once they were written down on paper, today many things are done on the computer - but one thing has not changed: complex ideas have to be visualised and then implemented. The employees in our development department dedicate themselves to this exciting task every day.
Whether add-on parts, wheel rims or exhaust systems, all ABT products first go through a multi-layered design and decision-making process before they are modelled in 3D and finally released for tooling and prototype production.
High performance from ABT
In the world of top automotive performance, there is no question that our performance enhancements play a particularly important role.
Developed specifically for each engine, our ABT Engine Control - a separate auxiliary control unit - does not simply release the additional power, but ensures the best possible protection for the engine by calibrating various parameters in advance.
But of course there is more. Our engineers can claim up to 1,000 hp and 1,150 Nm. This level of escalation places the highest demands on a development department: an innovative technology - indirect water/ethanol injection - and a complete engine conversion with a revision of pistons, connecting rods, enlarged turbo air intakes, a modified turbocharger with an enlarged compressor wheel and many other components require a high degree of expertise and intuition - and the right infrastructure.
Design is not enough. You can only fulfil the highest quality standards if you keep putting your work to the test in the truest sense of the word.
And we can also do this in-house - with our certified MAHA apex roller test bench and the same measuring procedure according to defined standards, our engines are comprehensively tested in the vehicle or removed.
