Audi S3 Sedan by ABT has more power then RS3

Not so long ago, 300 horsepower under the hood of a small sedan would have made everyone go nuts, but nowadays, it doesn’t exactly get your blood boiling.

But in reality it should, as we are positive that not every driver uses up all that power and speed availible, but for those who want an extra power trip out of Audi’s new S3 sedan, ABT Sportsline tuning has developed two performance packages that should do the trick.

In factory form, the European-spec* Audi S3 Sedan’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four puts out 296hp and 280 lb-ft torque.

With the base ABT Power kit, those numbers jump to an impressive 365hp and 339 lb-ft respectively, while if you really want to even more power, there’s the ABT Power S kit that gives the S3 395hp and 354 lb-ft – that’s more than the Audi RS3 Sportback’s yet which is rated at 362hp and 343 lb-ft torque.

The boost in power and torque comes from a new ECU together with an ABT exhaust system that includes pre-pipes and sport-type catalytic converter.

The package also includes new sport sway bars for the front and rear axle, while optionally, ABT offers a different front grille, fender inserts, rear skirt set, black chrome plated exhaust tips, and 20-inch wheels.
