ABT RS3-R based on the Audi RS3

The Audi RS3 is a top-of-the-line car that, after its introduction last year, demonstrated its capabilities on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. However, the German company ABT Sportsline believes that the car can and must be better, so it presented a limited edition ABT RS3-R.

The ABT RS3-R is equipped with a special equipment kit that brings a lot of carbon parts with a high-gloss finish, sports stabilizer bars, ABT intercooler, adjustable suspension and ABT suspension springs that enable a lowering range of 20-40 mm at the front and rear axle. There’s also a set of 20-inch ABT High Performance HR20 alloy wheels wrapped in 245/30 R20 Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport R tires.

The limited edition ABT RS3-R is powered by a 2.5-liter 5-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 500 hp (368 kW) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. That’s a significant increase considering the RS3 has 400 hp (294 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h). Drivers will be able to choose between ECO, SPORT or RACE mode.
