ABT Sportsline Tunes the Audi A3

German tuner, ABT Sportsline, has turned its attention away from Volkswagens, for a second, and set its sights on the Audi A3. The various ABT AS3 engines will receive a 35 – 50hp gain.

The 2.0L TSI engine will produce 240hp (179kW), 160hp (120kW) in the 1.4L TSI engine and 210hp (157kW) in the 1.8L TSI unit. The 2.0L turbo diesel engine will produce 190hp (142kW), along with "plenty of torque."

ABT will also use custom made performance springs to drop the car by 35mm and a custom made brake system. Visual mods will include a new bonnet, grille, bumpers, fenders and LED daytime running lights. A full bodykit consisting of a front spoiler insert, side skirts, fender inserts, and a custom rear apron is also available.
