ABT Sportsline is receiving strong support for its comeback in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship: CUPRA is joining the championship for purely electric formula cars as partner alongside ABT Sportsline. In Extreme E, the two brands have been forming a successful duo for two years and just won the season finale in Uruguay.

\u201cWe are happy and also proud to have CUPRA at our side for our Formula E comeback,\u201d says Hans-Ju\u0308rgen Abt, CEO of ABT SE. \u201cOur two brands have enjoyed a close and successful partnership for years on the racetrack and on the road, which is now reaching a new level. We are looking forward to the new adventure and I am sure we will attract a lot of attention on and off the racetrack.\u201d
The spectacular design of the race cars for Robin Frijns and Nico Mu\u0308ller is based on the allelectric CUPRA UrbanRebel concept car, of which there will also be a road version in 2025. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see the ABT CUPRA Formula E team competing in the heart of some of the world\u2019s most iconic cities,\u201d says Wayne Griffiths, CEO of CUPRA. \u201cFormula E is a unique motorsport platform for the world\u2019s leading automotive manufacturers to create emotions and continue to prove that electric motorsport is not boring, but rather goes hand in hand with extreme performance.\u201d
For CUPRA, entering Formula E with ABT is its third involvement in an all-electric
championship, following FIA ETCR and Extreme E. \u201cWe are excited to welcome CUPRA to
the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship\u201d, says Jamie Reigle, CEO of Formula E. \u201cCUPRA has gained rich experience in electric motorsport in recent years. Now in partnership with ABT Sportsline they are set to dial up what is an incredibly competitive Formula E grid in Season 9 and the new Gen3 era. We can\u2019t wait to see them in action in Mexico City in January.\u201d
The new Formula E season kicks off on 14 January 2023 in Mexico City and then travels to at least nine more major cities around the world until the end of July. New locations include Cape Town (South Africa), Hyderabad (India) and S\u00e3o Paulo (Brazil). The highlight from a German perspective will be Formula E\u2019s appearance in Berlin on 22 and 23 April 2023. ABT was already part of the Formula E family from 2014 to 2021 and is still the most successful team with 47 podium finishes. In 2023, the brand will start as a customer team with vehicles from Mahindra Racing.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
