We are building the ABT RS5-R
A statement to the automotive industry.
Not yet available to the public. Waiting list members receive priority access to the limited edition.
Launch: October 29, 2026
Our vision for the RS5-R.
Daniel Abt explains why automotive emotion must not disappear and the statement ABT will put on the road this October.
Motorsport DNA is disappearing.Not at ABT.
Cars are becoming more rational, more uniform and more interchangeable. They do many things right, yet stir less and less emotion. We are not turning our backs on the future. With the ABT RS5-R, we preserve what matters: goosebumps, freedom and uncompromising motorsport DNA for the road.
The RS5 is the foundation.ABT makes the statement.
The final vehicle remains under wraps. What is already clear is the ambition: to transform a formidable RS5 into an uncompromising ABT Special Edition.
The ABT design language in the RS5-R.
Carbon, clean lines and uncompromising presence. This approach defines our most powerful vehicles and enters a new chapter this October.
130 vehicles.No second production run.
