The Audi RS Q3 ABT Sportsline can be ordered with an aggressive body kit that includes a new front bumper, a revised grille and a sporty rear diffuser. Also available on offer is a stainless steel four-tailpipe exhaust system, a height adjustable suspension and 21-inch alloy wheels.
Powering the car is a 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged motor, which has been tuned to produce 410 HP of max power and 530 Nm of peak torque. The tuning results in a bump pf a whole 100 HP and 110 Nm of torque.All this was achieved by ABT Power New Generation using ABT engine control and a customised software.
“This complex and gentle processes uses a specially developed control unit – ABT Engine Control – and a customised software,“ says Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of ABT.
The performance figures haven’t been released, but the standard model hits the ton in a scant 5.5 seconds and keeps accelerating to reach its limited top speed of 250 kmph. We can easily expect a sub 5 second timing for the tuned RS Q3.
