The S3 is one of the best compact saloons out there and with 310 horses at your disposal, it sure is fun. But now, the little Audi has been given even more grunt by ABT — an that’ll mean it’s even more fun, too.
The German tuner’s package for the model increases output to RS 3 levels. It makes 400 horses thanks to an ABT Power ECU flash, ABT sports-style catalytic converter and a stainless steel exhaust system, which features four black chrome tips. It also gets an anti-rollbar kit for the front and rear of the suspension set-up and aside from the power increase, ABT also gives the model some visual pizzazz such as lightweight wheels (18, 19 and 20in are available) wrapped in either Dunlop or Continental high performance tyres.
