Audi S3 Receives Power Upgrade Courtesy of ABT Sportsline

No matter how look it, Ausi has always built beautiful cars, especially the RS lineup, which comprises the best attitudes when it comes to good looks and aggressivity all together. However, when ABT Sportsline takes matter into hands, then things get wild.

This fine specimen seen in the media gallery below – which is the lovely Audi S3 – has recently received the visit of the technicians from ABT, the mode getting a nice power kit under the hood and some fine visual elements.

I can`t say that I am blown-away by the way this S3 looks now after the tuning treatment, but it does standout from the crowd with the mild mods added, which also increase its general appearance and wild temperament.

The most highlights at the exterior involve new fender inserts, four black chrome-plated tailpipes, with a choice of 18-, 19- and 20-inch alloy wheels from ER-C, DR-, FR or CR series, all wrapped with Dunlop or Continental high-performance tires. The tuner can also install anti-roll bars for all four axles which improve the car`s stifness.

The most important upgrade remains under the hood, the tuner offering as well two power stages, which make this lad here extremely powerful, without letting someone know about it.

The technicians have installed some new mechanics, including the ABT Power kit or ABT sport-type catalytic converter, all of them raising the power to 370 horsepower and 480 Nm of torque, which is ok compared to the standard 310 and 400 Nm of torque. The second stage adds more – 400 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, enough to tackle a BMW M3 without any additional effort.
