Techno Classica 2025
From 9 to 13 April 2025, Techno Classica in Essen, Germany, will once again be the place to be for classic car enthusiasts. In Hall 3, BILSTEIN will be presenting its high-performance suspension and shock absorber programme for classic cars, modern classics and historic motorsport vehicles.
Series replacement or performance upgrade
BILSTEIN offers the optimum suspension and shock absorber solution for numerous classic cars
The successful BILSTEIN B6, for example, offers improved series replacement for high demands. And if you want to lower your classic car, the BILSTEIN B8 is the ideal damper: the specially shortened high-performance dampers ensure the necessary spring preload of lowering or sports springs and thus support a sporty, dynamic driving experience. Complete and coilover suspensions are also available for selected models, while historic motorsport suspensions complete the range.

Porsche 911 SC Group 4: Homage to the 1981 San Remo Rally with Walter Röhrl
In addition to high-performance suspension technology, the BILSTEIN stand in Hall 3 will also be showcasing absolute classics from motorsport and sports car history. For example, a replica of the Porsche 911 SC Group 4 in which Walter Röhrl and co-pilot Christian Geistdörfer put up an absolutely brilliant show against the much more powerful four-wheel-drive competition at the 1981 San Remo Rally. With BILSTEIN B6 shock absorbers in rally asphalt tuning and 330 hp, the G-model is in no way inferior to the original.
Rally legend at the BILSTEIN stand: autograph sessions with Walter Röhrl!
An absolute highlight of Techno Classica 2025: rally icon Walter Röhrl will be visiting the BILSTEIN stand!
The BILSTEIN brand ambassador will be a guest of BILSTEIN in Hall 3 on 12.04. as part of exclusive autograph sessions. Motorsport fans should mark the times in their diaries:
- 12.04., 11:00 to 12:00
- 12.04., 14:00 to 15:00
1969 NSU TT with rare Abt body parts
The next highlight on the BILSTEIN stand: a beautiful NSU TT, built in 1969. The classic car has been extensively restored and features rare original bodywork extensions from Abt Tuning, which are based on the racing cars from the European Hillclimb Championship of the time. The contemporary NSU, which weighs 673 kilograms, is road-legal and has an equally roadworthy sports suspension from BILSTEIN.
Converting shock absorbers without losing your H-approval in Germany? No problem: BILSTEIN has been offering shock absorbers with sporty tuning since the 1960s. That is why it is still possible today to retrofit BILSTEIN shock absorbers for vehicles with H registration plates – without losing the H registration.
Shocks no longer available? That’s no problem either! BILSTEIN’s Customer Special Requests („Kundensonderwunsch“: KSW) department is responsible for special requests. Here, shock absorbers that are no longer available are revised or rebuilt – with individual specifications if required. This keeps historic vehicles on the road with original or optimized suspension tuning.
