Automobile Salon Abt Sportsline recently celebrated his centenary anniversary. Most surprisingly that the company is refined famous cars It was born even before the latter were constructed. Although family business began with horses, but not at all with mechanical, but real. In 1896, for a small town, Kempton was built for a small town of Kempton.
But the technology did not stand still, and gradually the horse force was suppressed by the machine, and the savvy hooves replaced the rubber wheels. At the beginning of the 20s of the last century, the forge retrained into a car repair shop, and then everything went to the rolled scenario, according to which all European machines produced the beginning of the twentieth century. 
In the 1930s, near the workshop, a shop was attached, in which the manufactured products were immediately sold. About tuning in those times of speech did not go, but in the assortment of the store came across a car from well-known manufacturers, but not original, but a little corrected by mechanics from the car operator. Some models have been improved chassisand some got more powerful engines. All this was purely symbolic and did not apply for the title of modified cars. 
1935, too, was also important in the development of the auto repair shop Kempton. This year, was the year of the birth of Johan Abta - a man who will have to play not the last role in the development of family business. But it will be a little later, at the beginning of the 60s, during the dawn of post-war Germany. 
And so, in 1939, the auto repair shop was suffered fate, which was comprehended by the entire technical industry in Germany, it was partly privatized by the state and was fully directed to military production. 
Already in the early 1950s, young Johan begins to take part in racing. He becomes the winner of several races in his native Bavaria. Together with gold medals, fame and recognition come. 
Young Abt understood that to constantly defeat in such sports as a race, it is necessary to keep up with the times and enjoy the perfect car. It was then that Johan is fond of mechanics and engineering cases, sometimes applying the knowledge gained, after going to the garage in front of responsible competitions. 
In the 1960s, a young rider-mechanical mechanics Yohan received a proposal to head the sports unit of the famous German company Karl Abart, he will hold the entire period from 1967 to the 1070s, passing both in the development of new components and spare parts and in some Important races already on cars from Abarth. 
In the automotive business of Germany for the 60s, everything happened very rapidly and quickly. Johan Abta is invited to head one of the Audi sports units, to which he meets consent. In 1975, he ranked the head of the racing team of this company and part-time the place of the first pilot. Over the next two years, he will lead his own team and successfully take part in a number of very important competitions. In addition, his family business is inherited in the hands of Yohan inheritance, which he rapidly hurried to rename to ABT Tuning GmbH. 
Having dedicated to automotive sports for more than 25 years of his life, in 1977, Johan Abt decides forever to drag his engine and focuses on managing his company. For all time participation in the races, he won more than 300 victories in various races. 
In 1980, a racing team of a car dealership, which manages Johan, successfully performs on Volkswagen Golf GTI. The result of these speeches was the holding of the first place, over 3 years and the ranked champions title International Golf Cup. 
In the late 80s, the first steps in the quality of riders make two sons of Johan: Christian ABT and GNAS-Jürgen Abt. At the beginning of the nineties, they will head tuning a division that will be called ABT Tuning GmbH. The branch of the tuning salon is located in the same Cempton, where the forge of their great-grandfather was discovered for the century ago. Currently, the area allocated for the family car dealers is equal to 12,000 square meters. By the end of the 90s, Abt Tuning GmbH annually releases from its garages to 2000 fully, or partially modified machines. Its products are represented by more than 50 trade missions around the world. 
In the early 2000s, the Abt brothers lures new idea. They begin to develop a series of gas engines. The company is celebrated by the release of 400 cars, specially sharpened under this type of fuel.
Currently, the company continues its development. In the mid-2000s, another division of the company was created in Switzerland, which is called ABT Sportsline Schweiz AG.
ABT Sportsline Tuning-Atelier - Family Business Hans-Yurgen and Christian Abtov, started in 1970. However, the tuning gears of the date of the company are considered to be 1896, when the ancestor of the current owners of Johan Abt founded a blacksmith company. In fact, also tuning, but for horses.
Today ABT Sportsline is the main player on the Volkswagen Concern car tuning field (Audi, Skoda, Seat and Volkswagen). In the headquarters in Bavarian Kempten, about 160 people work. In addition, on the basis of the tuning studio there are several racing teams involved in the series DTM and Formula E.
Cars to be tuning fall to the masters in two ways - either customers themselves bring their cars "for pumping" or specially for the needs of the Customer ABT buy the desired model for refining directly from the manufacturer.

ABT SportsLine is engaged in almost all possible views of the car alterations. For example, the engines are finalized, without limiting the "flashing brain flashing" alone, and install their own inlet and output parts, including their turbocharger. ABT is also developing and manufacturing body details, produce your own ruler wheel disks And the interiors are handled by the interiors, dragging the salon to the skin or Alcantara and even introducing their own multimedia.
To fully develop a whole set of tuning solutions for specific model, goes about three months. But when the project is completed, and it is only necessary to apply the work in practice, the guys from Kempten need no more than three days to turn the usual car in ABT CAR.
In Russia are three official dealer Abt Sportsline, and there is no car dealer among them. In ABT, they told "Wheels", that 99% of their products they sell with installation on a car, but Russia explicitly spoils this statistics - the company's products on the territory of our country are promoting and selling two online stores and only one studio selling and installing components of various manufacturers.
In other words, our people prefer to buy a car separately, tuning-whale separately, and then put it on their own or by the handwritten workshop.

Not. I do not feel like feelings for any of our competitors. But it is always important to be aware of and see that they create and what they work. Sometimes I am impressed by what a cool idea came to mind, and we do not. And this is normal, this is a business!
-And how about other brands, would not like to work with some other brand?
Not. In the portfolio Audi, Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda have plenty of great models. Thus, at this moment I would say that we are satisfied and have no need to expand our interests of our interests to other manufacturers belonging to Volkswagen Groups ( Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, - approx. website).

- By the way, about the future. When gasoline engines "die", and the world will only need electric vehicles, which are moving by themselves, what will your company do?
You know, we have already prepared to this well! Over the course of several years, in addition to the construction of cars on ordinary fuel, we are working on the creation of completely electrical machines, for example, for the German postal service. In addition, Abt Sportsline is the only German team that participates in Formula E. This is a championship in which single-plated electrical cars participate, and races are held around the world (by the way, June 6, 2015 will be held in Moscow, approx. Site) .
- What is your personal car?
At the moment I drive "our" RS6-R (tuning project based on new Audi. RS6, - approx. Kolesa.ru). By the way, 730 hp! I adore the combination of the practicality of the body "Universal" and the power inherent exclusively to sports cars. RS6-R shoots from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.3 seconds! It is always impressive when you can feel the power behind the steering wheel of your car.
