ABT Sportsline has unveiled their tuning programme for the recently released Audi S3 Sedan. The standard car is already one of the quickest machines on the road, sprinting to triple digits from a standstill in just 5.0 seconds.
With ABT’s magic wand waved over the 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder TFSI engine, the tuned S3 produces 272kW of power and 460Nm of torque, an increase of 66kW and 80Nm over the factory output.
The result is a 0-100km/h dash of a mere 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 265km/h (up from 250km/h).
According to ABT Sportsline’s CEO, Hans-Jürgen, thanks to extensive tests on ABT’s own roller test bench as well as on road tests, buyers “don’t’ have to worry about” the reliability of the car.
Aesthetically, the ABT S3 Sedan rolls on a set 20-inch DR alloy wheels in gun-metal or mystic-black finish wrapped in 235/30 R20 tyres. 18 and 19-inch versions and the ER-C and CR wheels are also available.
On top of that, the car gets ABT fender inserts made of high-quality ABS plastic, while the interior is jazzed up with entrance lights, bespoke floor mats and customised air vents.
