and accessory program at the Essen Motor Show 2022
For the 30th anniversary, the medium-sized company presents its latest accessory and motorsport program and many more aspects of its brands KW suspensions, ST suspensions, ap Sportfahrwerke, Reiger Suspension, BBS light-alloy wheels, and their SimRacing products at the Essen Motor Show. Highlights at the BBS and KW fair booth (hall 3, booths 3A47 and 3B46) is a VW ID. Buzz which is equipped with a KW coilover kit and BBS wheels. Moreover, the BMW M4 GT3 with KW V6 Racing dampers from incumbent DTM champion Sheldon Van der Linde can be marveled at. From December 3 to December 11, 2022 (Preview Day on December 2, 2022) KW automotive gives an overview of its OE activities, motorsport program, and newest product developments. Especially the new and customizable BBS Unlimited wheel system will be in the spotlight. At the Essen Motor Show, BBS also presents the new BBS RT Unlimited which is a part of the Classic design line. More information at www.kwautomotive.net
In 2022, the KW automotive group celebrated its 30th anniversary. Since 1995, the coilover manufacturer is an exhibitor at the Essen Motor Show. For KW, the fair in the German Ruhr area is one of the most important events of the year. “To us, the EMS is the most important industry get-together to meet both retailers and customers at one place” Bernd Lauton, KW head of sales for Germany and Austria says. “At our BBS and KW fair booth, we show our latest projects and give a preview of the KW products that will be released soon such as the BBS Unlimited wheel system, the KW Clubsport coilovers with MacPherson upside-down struts and inverted monotube, KW V3 Leveling, and many more products.”
The success of the motorsport year for the KW automotive group is illustrated by the displayed BMW M4 GT3 which was driven in the DTM 2022 by the DTM champion Sheldon Van der Linde. For several years, the KW automotive group is a pioneer in the development of individual coilover systems for street and motorsport usage. With its brands BBS, KW, and Reiger Suspension, the medium-sized company from the German Fichtenberg is globally active. In almost every DTM motorsport series, several brand trophies, NASCAR, and the World Rally Championship, KW motorsport components were used. In 2022, Rallye- and Rally Raid vehicles were equipped with Reiger Offroad motorsport coilovers in the WRC, W2RC and Dakar. The new Reiger suspension street & trail dampers celebrate their premiere at the Essen Motor Show 2022 as well. Those are special offroad dampers for SUVs and off-road vehicles with street permission. The exhibition appearance of the KW automotive group is completed by excerpts of the OE program as well as many small and large product highlights at ap Sportfahrwerke, ST suspensions, Ascher Racing, and Track Time.
