ABT Sportsline has unveiled its latest tuning
program for the Audi RS3 Sedan and RS3 Sportback. Set to debut at the Essen
Motor Show, the models can be equipped with an assortment of different styling
accessories including front fender vents, a revised grille, and 19- or 20-inch
wheels. Customers can also order a gloss black rear skirt and a sports exhaust
system with a matte black finish.
The company didn't release interior photos but the
cabin can be outfitted with carbon fiber trim, special floor mats, and
illuminated door sill plates. Other options include an ABT-branded shifter and
push-button ignition.
On the performance front, the turbocharged 2.5-liter
five-cylinder engine can be equipped with a new ECU which enables the mill to
produce approximately 460 PS and 530 Nm of torque - an
increase of 60 PS and 50 Nm. ABT declined to say how fast
the upgraded model is but the change increases the limited top speed to 280
km/h.
Besides the upgraded engine, the RS3 can be
outfitted with sport springs, new anti-roll bars, and a more powerful braking
system.
