The performance categories really stand out in the world of automobiles. A compact class representative with 180 hp - now almost boring. An Audi S3 has already had 310 hp since the facelift, the RS even draws 367 hp from a 2.5 liter five-cylinder. Values that were reserved for luxury class or sports cars just five years ago. But that doesn't seem to be enough for ABT. The Kempten-based company offers two performance kits: the ABT Power draws 430 horsepower from the five-seater, the ABT Power S even 450.
450 PS and a torque of 550 Nm, these are the values with which the compact class of ABT currently wants to score. But even the production version is not exactly weak-breasted with its 450 Nm of standard torque. Overall, we speak of an increase in performance of 24 percent, which has the RS3 a specially developed for him intercooler.
This offers a 19 percent larger inflow area and a network enlargement of 34 percent. This means that the traditional refiner from VW and Audi achieves improved internal engine cooling and reduces the engine's tendency to knock while maintaining performance. The retrofit part is mounted directly on the original attachment points - simply plug and play. It is also available not only in conjunction with the performance upgrade, but also for the standard Audi RS3.
Of course, the Kemptener not only optimize the engine, but also other components. Special suspension springs make the Audi RS3 a little closer to the ground, lowering the center of gravity and thus enabling improved handling. A silencer with four tailpipes, all of which have a diameter of 102 mm, provides the appropriate background sound. Thus, the almost legendary sound, which not only adore Audi fans since the famous Allroad Quattro, can be perceived even better.
For the appropriate expression of your own personality, ABT offers an individual program for the interior. In terms of taste, the interior is beyond any doubt. Alcantara was used almost everywhere in the interior: from the dashboard to the glove compartment, from the center console to the back of the seats. But you should dig a little deeper into the hopefully well-filled bag - the pleasure is not cheap. But exclusivity has its price.
