KW Racing
Motorsport is the DNA of KW suspensions - from the very beginning. Over the past decades, KW has also established itself in global customer motorsport in the automotive industry. We produce homologated racing dampers for more and more manufacturers - from Cup cars to GT4 and GT3 racing cars to LMDh prototypes.
It always starts with a dream
Long before the founders Klaus and Jürgen Wohlfarth became entrepreneurs, they were already enthusiastic about motorsport. Slalom races in their beloved Opel Kadett C, a championship victory in the Divinol Cup, or tinkering with their own racing car: the brothers' hearts have always beat for the race track.
