ABT Sportsline has presented its latest project based on the high-performance RS Q3 crossover.

ABT upgraded the 2.5-liter 5-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine. The engine now produces about 20% more power, 410 PS and 530 Nm of torque. As far as how that translates to performance, there aren't official numbers, but it should be faster than the stock RS Q3 which runs 0-62 mph in 4.8 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph.

There are other changes to the RS Q3 as well. It is riding on 21-inch wheels and buyers can choose between Dunlop or Continental tires. At an extra cost, there can add a set of custom spacers and a height-adjustable suspension kit.

The ABT sporty exhaust system can be added as an option along with a red or black decal body set. There are different side mirror caps and a new rear skirt. Inside there are optional door entrance lights, new floor mats, and a custom trunk mat.

I could do without the pinstripes but I echo john's sentiment - whoa & hubba.

That is a sexy looking Q. Definitely a WOW in the looks department.

Yawn, really?

Shared the pictures with a number of 19 to 35 year-olds in an aviation class I teach....their reactions can generally be summed up by one of my respondents: "Why take a beautiful Audi and turn it into a teenager's Honda?"
The most positive response was, "that car should turn some heads, but it's quite possible many of those heads will be shaking side-to-side ."

Obviously not all people have the same tastes....but that's what makes the world go 'round....right?

You certainly live up to your screen name as every time you post you put a damper on everything. You need a hug!
