The 2024 DTM season offered motorsport fans thrilling duels, tactical masterpieces, and plenty of emotions. Right in the middle of it all: the ABT Sportsline team, which fought for victories and championship points with its Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo. The team, based in the Allgäu, Germany, used two cars. The number 7 car was driven by Swiss driver Riccardo Feller. Kelvin van der Linde narrowly missed the championship victory at the end of the season with the number 3 Audi. Both cars are now available as high-quality from Ixo in scale 1:43. Every detail of the GT3 version of the Audi R8 has been faithfully and authentically recreated, as has the new livery, which features the design of arguably the world's most famous soft drink manufacturer – a must-see for every DTM fan.
The original car is based on the Audi R8 road car, but has been consistently tuned for performance in the GT3 class. A 5.2-liter V10 delivers over 500 hp, the aerodynamics are uncompromisingly optimized for downforce, and the chassis offers maximum racetrack capability thanks to its lightweight construction and finely tuned suspension. In the 2024 DTM, the R8 LMS GT3 Evo demonstrated that, despite fierce competition, it is one of the strongest cars in the field. ABT Sportsline brought the cars to the starting line-up perfectly prepared and delivered a season full of highlights.
The driver pairing announced by Abt at the start of the season certainly played a major role in this. Swiss driver Riccardo Feller is considered one of the DTM's up-and-coming drivers. He delivered a strong performance in 2024, impressing with his speed and consistency. The season was even more exciting for Kelvin van der Linde, who remained in the title fight until the final race weekend. In the end, he narrowly "only" managed to finish runner-up behind the victorious Mirko Bortolloti – an impressive result nonetheless, underscoring his class.
Both Audi R8 models from Ixo bring the thrilling 2024 DTM season into your home collection. They are held in the compact scale of 1:43, yet accurately recreate every detail of the original cars. This allows you to relive the season's emotional moments – from the thrilling title battle to the strong performances of the ABT team. For fans of Audi, ABT Sportsline, and the DTM, these miniatures are more than just collector's items: They are memories of a season full of passion and action.
