Ladies and gents, meet the new, upgraded version of Audi hyper hatch – the ABT RS3-R Sportback, which seems to be better, faster, stronger.

The improvements start with the 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder engine getting paired with the ABT Power R upgrade package, a modified ECU and an ABT intercooler. All this pumps up the stock figures (394 HP and 500 Nm of torque) up to 493 HP and a torque of 600 Nm.

The tuner has added new 95 mm stainless steel pipes-based exhaust system, improved stabilizer bars, and brand-new springs. No wonder this ABT RS3-R Sportback can now reach its first 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, topping at 300 km/h.

Besides the performance upgrades, the car definitely looks better with its visual tweaks, including revised lateral mirror caps, rear wing, front new splitter, black glossy side skirts, all topped with 20-inch black ABT wheels wearing 245/30 Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport R tires.

As for the interior, the driver and passengers will enjoy new floor mats, new start-stop ABT button, special dashboard badge, and ABT entry lights.

All this sounds great, but nobody knows how much the limited 20-units edition will cost. Let’s wait and see.
