Cupra Gets ABT’s Touch With Bold New Leon And Formentor

ABT, the tuning powerhouse known for transforming Audis, is now shaking things up with Cupra. Instead of sticking to one brand, they’re bringing their magic to Cupra’s lineup, making things a whole lot more exciting.

Starting in ABT's headquarters in Kempten, Germany, this alliance clearly is pushing things to a whole new level. ABT and Cupra are not only engaging in small-scale cooperation; they have already been working together in motorsports such as Formula E and Extreme E, hence this is a logical next step. And what would you guess? With this new contract, Cupra will shortly receive some major ABT therapy.

The Cupra Leon and Formentor will have their own unique ABT versions beginning in 2026. These are not your run-of-the-ordinary upgrades; rather, they are all-in models factory-fresh with ABT's unique style. We are talking a full-on body makeover with a sleek new front splitter, side skirts, a larger rear spoiler for that additional aggressive edge, and 21-inch wheels that will have heads turning. You know ABT for their sporty, road-hugging attitude.

The specifics of the engine upgrades are presently a mystery, but the aftermarket performance options offered by ABT are sure to impress. We would not rule out a potential rise to authority in the future.

Next on the line for some ABT magic is Cupra's totally electric Raval, which shares a lot of the tech of the forthcoming VW ID.2. "Cupra and ABT have enjoyed an intensive and trusting partnership for many years, which is now being taken to a new level with this cooperation," said Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of ABT.

This is your chance if you want something that will grab attention in the crowd. Plans abound from ABT, and they will make Cupra's already amazing cars even more spectacular.
