ABT launches Audi RS3 exterior overhaul and performance upgrade

Over the past several weeks, ABT Sportsline has been working on an Audi RS3 tuning project. As a result, the hatchback has gained in both style and power.

The vehicle pictured here was given a set of 20” glossy black alloy wheels, but you may opt for a different lacquering or wheels. There are also new bumper moldings and exclusive exhaust pipes.

Major changes took place under the hood. ABT Sportsline has managed to improve the stock 2.5-liter turbocharged engine from 394 hp (294 kW) to 493 hp (368 kW).  To achieve these figures, the engineers had to modify the engine control firmware, install an intercooler and a new exhaust system.

The upgraded Audi RS3 accelerates 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, which is 0.6s below its standard counterpart.

ABT Sportsline didn’t make prices publicly available. For those who would like to save money, there is a more affordable upgrade that takes the performance up to 453 hp (338 kW).
