The new uptrend’s cover is a real eye-catcher. Like the protagonists on the title page, the ABT R8 GTR and ABT RS5-R, it is red-metallic all over and draws attention through its elegant carbon look. But it is not only the design that is compelling. The stories do also promise much pleasure. On its 180 pages, you will find many informative and entertaining articles from the world of ABT Sportsline.
“From the race track onto the road,” has always been the ABT Sportsline slogan from the very beginning. What is currently being understood by this down at Kempten is demonstrated by this issue’s cover story, an invitation to a visual test drive in the R8 GTR and RS5-R high-performance cars.
You will encounter more tuned ABT Sportsline cars on the road trip to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in southern England. But the traditional Bavarian company does not only show passion, curiosity and enthusiasm for fast cars: the new uptrend also features a lot of lifestyle articles, taking its readers to very special places. In the magazine, you will encounter a blind mechanic from Chicago who successfully operates a garage, visit the deluxe hotel of the former world-class long-distance ice-skater Hannes Müller in Weißensee and tour Rio de Janeiro.
On the occasion of the end of the 2013 DTM season, ABT also congratulates champion Mike Rockenfeller and interviews the successful racers Mattias Ekström and Jamie Green about what they have done and still want to do. And ABT Sportsline also proves that it cannot only build dream-cars, but also has a feel for trendy clothing. The new uptrend presents the new fashion collection, combining sportiness and functionality. After all, when something is labelled ABT, it is not only of ABT quality, but also shows much sporty refinement. So off you go and tune your wardrobe!
