ABT Sportsline, a famous tuner of Audis and VWs, has just announced a powerful range of upgrades meant to increase the appeal of the crossover in a number of ways.

Adding power is the biggest thing. It comes via a sports exhaust and an ECU remap which bump up the 2.5 TFSI from a wave to a 410 PS tsunami. Torque is also increased by 110 Nm, from 420Nm (410 lb-ft) to 530Nm (391 lb-ft).

ABT also installed a brand new set of breathers with four lovely chromed tips for maximum impact. 21-inch wheels with 255/30 R21 tires, a full body kit, a really strange black grille in typical ABT style and even reworked interior are available for maximum impact.

Remember that each of these parts are sold separately, so you can just choose the good stuff.

nice. S Q3 anyone?

Doubt Audi will actually do a real R-Q3

I like their use of red but don't like the wheel design at all. i'll pass.

I like how the red is used in the front fascia/grille. And then the red line continues at the back of the vehicle around the rear bumper. I think that could be a detail that they use even on the regular Q3. I could do without the red decals on the side though. That's overkill for me.

big hint to Audi.. expand that S line on the SUVs please

If they dont i will be shocked.
Good opportunity here for them to do something epic within this segment as it will be one of the more reliable performance suv's from a german brand

what are your thoughts on all the red lines and bars around the car?

 

[Quatto]

if it was up to me most of the red lines would disappear, it needs to be cleaner.

I think that they have to do something in order to make the RS version of the Audi Q3 different from the regular version. I think it would be boring if the RS version looked exactly the same as the regular version of the Q3.

I think that the red bar is a nice detail. What if they kept the bar but made it white or black instead?

I think that the decals need to go though.

i wonder if anyone would actually buy something like this

why buy such a fast SUV?
