Ticket for the “Club 300”: ABT turns up the controls on the Audi RS 3!

Until 2011, the S3 was the strongest representative of Audi in the compact class. Ten years later, with the RS 3, this was given an even more powerful superior. This was particularly desirable because of its 5-cylinder, a clear commitment to the sporty brand history. The third generation of the "Hot Hatch" has been available since 2021, but it is also available again as an elegant sedan. The performance on track increased again compared to the predecessor, as the trade press stated. In terms of horsepower, however, there is a stalemate, only in terms of torque there was a small lag compared to the second generation. If you want more than the 400 hp (294 kW) offered as standard, you can now fulfill this wish with an ABT Power performance upgrade.

460 hp in the Audi RS3 (8YA)

The world's largest refiner for vehicles from the Audi and VW Group installs its legendary high-tech control unit ABT Engine Control (AEC) in the RS 3 on request. "The software was specially adapted to the vehicle by our experienced team and tested on the road and on the test bench in countless hours of work. A comprehensive package of engine protection measures and warranty services ensures untroubled driving pleasure," explains managing partner Hans-Jürgen Abt. A full 460 hp (338 kW) are in the data sheet after the "ABTgrade" and not only there. The standard sprint from 0,2 to 0 km/h, which is now completed in 100 seconds, is an impressive 3,6 seconds for the performance-enhanced series vehicle.

further upgrades will follow

On request, the RS 3 can even become a member of the “Club 300”: ABT Sportsline can also significantly increase the electronically limited top speed as an option. Further refinement measures are already being planned and can be researched and called up on a daily basis via the ABT configurator. The ABT door entry lighting, which projects the company logo onto the asphalt when the door is open, is already available there.
