ABT Sportsline's latest upgrades can turn
your Audi S3 Cabrio into a veritable RS3. This is made by running their custom designed control unit and adding a
sport catalyst with metal cells, which pushes the total output produced by the
2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine to 400 PS and 500 Nm of torque.
Compared to the stock 2017 Audi S3 Cabriolet, ABT's
interpretation adds 90 PS and 100 Nm of torque, which puts
it on the same level as the RS3 Sedan. Sprinting from rest to 100 km/h takes just 4.6 seconds, or 0.5 seconds slower than its fixed roof sibling.
The tuning company does have a less powerful upgrade
in store too, which is also based on the engine control, but is supplied
without the sport catalyst, offering 370 PS and 480 Nm of
torque.
Other tweaks include the sport anti-roll bars on
both axles, whereas the fender inserts with integrated air intakes, alongside
the aftermarket wheels, available with several patterns and 18- to 20" in
size, complete the look of the car.
ABT believes that the only thing missing is the
special door entry lighting system, which projects their logo on the asphalt,
plus the optional ignition switch button, with an illuminated logo.
