Audi TT (1998 - 2023)
Looking back at a quarter of a century of TT history. When Audi presented the concept car at the 1995 IAA, the public’s reaction was quick and clear: “This car should be mass-produced – exactly as it is!” With the series debut in 1998, the Audi TT wrote design history and was built as a coupé and roadster over three generations.

Audi is positioning itself as the sportiest manufacturer in the premium segment and has a perfect basis for this: motorsport. Sportiness, advanced technology and emotional design are the foundations for the success of the Audi brand. Valuable genes for this come from motor racing.
Entering the premier class of motorsport
Audi is facing what is arguably its biggest challenge in motorsport. From the 2026 season, the brand will be competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with its own works team. Development of the drive unit (“Power Unit”) is in full swing at the Neuburg an der Donau site. Thanks to open competition, Formula 1 serves as a technology driver for both electromobility and sustainable e-fuels. Photo: Showcar with Audi F1 launch livery
Milestones
Success with electric drive concepts
Sustainability does not only play an important role in the premier class of motorsport. The company began electrifying its motorsport program in endurance racing in 2012. With the first victory of a hybrid racing car at the Le Mans 24 Hours, Audi achieved a pioneering feat at the world’s most important endurance race in 2012. The Audi R18 e-tronquattro remained unbeaten three times in a row at Le Mans in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Many other innovations such as the Audi laser light complement the pioneering technical achievements. Drivers and manufacturers titles with the hybrid sports car in the 2012 and 2013 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) complete the Audi sports car era, which ended in 2016. Following the LMP program with the R18 hybrid sports car, Audi was the first German car manufacturer to compete in the all-electric Formula E racing series in the 2017/2018 season. With four victories and a total of eleven podium finishes, Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler clinched the team championship after twelve races. Things continued to go electric after that: the brand with the four rings competed in the famous Dakar Rally from 2022 with an innovative prototype.

A quarter of a century of cooperation in Germany’s number 1 racing series Strong record with five drivers titles, 78 victories and 92 pole positions Long-standing protagonists shaped a trusting relationship
A grand finale to a quarter of a century of extraordinary cooperation: Audi and ABT Sportsline entered the DTM finale at the Hockenheimring for the last time together and kept the title fight exciting right to the end. In the end, Kelvin van der Linde finished second in the standings in the 2024 season after a race win on Saturday. Since May 28, 2000, the team from Germany’s Allgäu region has relied on racing cars with the four rings in exactly 333 DTM competitions. With five drivers titles, 78 victories and many other best performances, the track record of both partners is overwhelming compared to the competition.
“At Audi Sport, we are proud to have celebrated so many successes with ABT Sportsline,” said Rolf Michl, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH. “Together we have grown during this long phase and have written a huge piece of motorsport history with many unforgettable successes. This period was also legendary in human terms. A big thank you to Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of the ABT Group, Thomas Biermaier, CEO of ABT Sportsline, Head of Sports Marketing Harry Unflath, ABT Motorsport Director Martin Tomczyk and the many other hard-working hands from Kempten who made this era possible.” The journey began with an Abt-Audi TT-R developed in-house in the 2000 season. As early as 2002, Laurent Aiello beat the competition from two manufacturers with the private team’s striking yellow racing car and won the first DTM title for ABT Sportsline. After Audi returned to the prestigious championship in 2004, the team from Kempten was once again in first place. That year, Mattias Ekström celebrated his first championship win in an Audi A4 DTM fielded by Hans-Jürgen Abt’s team.
