ABT is a German tuner based in the city of Kempten, in the south of the state of Bavaria, not far from the border with Austria. This independent tuner has specialized in radical tuning of Audi and Volkswagen models for many years, and for a few years now has focused on its collaborations with Cupra. In fact, the Cupra team that competed in Formula E between 2022 and 2024 was called ABT Cupra Team, which strengthened the relationship between Cupra and the German tuner. Cupra, for its part, has been evolving for years as an independent brand with magnificent commercial records and with a model, the Formentor, which has elevated the reputation of its products. In a very competitive segment where only the best survive (or those who adapt most quickly to the environment), the Formentor has more than shown its value and versatility.

The Cupra Formentor VZ5 is not a completely new model: the 2021 model year Cupra has already produced a limited edition of 7,000 units of this exclusive model. And it blew us away after our in-depth test drive. A fantastic model that uses the 2.5 TFSI 5-cylinder gasoline engine found in the Audi RS models, paired with a DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission and the 4Drive all-wheel drive system, thus taking advantage of the best of the technologies and engines available to this model.
