More power for the compact ABT boosts the S3 to a befitting 370 hp and 450 Nm

More than 20 years ago, Audi began its quest for the "sporty compact" with the S3: In 1999 – three years after the A3 went into production – the then smallest model of the brand with the four rings was given a significant #performance boost as the S version. At that time, the engine power rose from 101 hp (74 kW) to a provisionally remarkable 210 hp (154 kW). The following generation S3 8P, which was built until 2010, by then already put down 265 hp (195 kW) onto the tarmac. A maximum of 310 hp was then achieved in the 8V series from 2013. And what about the very latest S3 with the identifier 8Y? This echoes the #performance data of its predecessor, and this is where ABT Sportsline comes into play. The company from Bavaria is carrying out a befitting power upgrade on the new S3 2.0 TFSI. In addition, the world’s largest #automotive aftermarket and #performance parts specialist for Audi and VW offers three rim designs and further options for both the interior and exterior. 

The #performance upgrade ABT Power*, which can be ordered from January 2021, improves the standard #performance data of the current #audis3 from 310 hp (228 kW) and 400 Nm to an impressive 370 hp (272 kW) and 450 Nm - a plus of 60 hp and 50 Nm. This is made possible by the high-tech ABT Engine Control unit. "We deliver the portion of extra power that the #audis3 fans have been asking for," confirms Managing Director Hans-Jürgen Abt. 

But the German tuners not only offer increased #performance, but also something for the eye. Three rim designs are available for the fast compact sports car. On the one hand, there are the 20-inch rims of the type SPORT GR in glossy black as installed on the illustrated vehicle. Also available in 20-inch is the classic 5-spoke design SPORT FR in mystic black. The 5-arm ER-C sports rim also perfectly emphasises the dynamic appearance of the S3. It is available in 19-inch and in the colours gun metal diamond polished and matt black.

The now more powerful S3 motor starts in style with the start-stop-switch-cap with the integrated and illuminated ABT logo. A stainless steel ABT exhaust system will be available for the rear from spring 2021: 4 endpipes in matt black with a diameter of 102 mm underline the vehicle's athletic character. Then not only the power and look, but also the sound of the compact are perfect.
