For the beginning of 2023, Manhart revealed its new work, the Manhart S 400. The car is based on the Audi S3 sedan, which with its 306 hp provides exceptional performance. However, Manhart believes that the car can show much more.
The S 400 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine with 405 hp (299 kW) and 380 lb-ft (515 Nm) of torque. That’s more power than the current sporty RS3, which has 400 hp (294 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed automatic transmission. The S 400’s performance hasn’t been announced, but considering the S3 hits 60 in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h), the tuned model will be much better.
The tuner equipped the S 400 with a new exhaust system made by the company Remus, a new set of 19-inch Concave One aluminum rims with a finish in satin black wrapped in 235/35ZR19 tires, a tuned suspension with MANHART lowering H&R springs thanks to which it is 30 millimeters lower than the S3, two twin tailpipes and carbon casing, MANHART Carbon Air Intake and remapped MANHART ECU.
The Manhart S 400 will probably meet the criteria of most Audi enthusiasts as it offers more potential than the Audi RS3.
