2016 ABT Audi RS3: A Supersonic Leap in Performance
When Audi introduced its 2016 RS3, it was clear they were aiming for the stars. But with ABT's new modifications, the RS3 seems ready to go a step further, breaching into the realm of high-performance racing. The enhancements brought by the ABT Power "New Generation" pack are more than just slight tweaks; they significantly transform the car into a beast ready to take on any challenge.
Acceleration and Performance
At the heart of the 2016 ABT Audi RS3 lies a hefty increase in performance. This upgraded model is powered by a 2.5 TFSI engine, already a formidable power plant. However, ABT takes things to another level, raising the horsepower from the standard 367 HP to a whopping 430 HP. Meanwhile, the torque gets a bump from 455 Newton meters to a hefty 530, giving the RS3 an impressive pull.
This boost in power helps the RS3 sprint from standstill to 100 kph in just 4.1 seconds, shaving time off the stock model's performance. The top speed, previously limited to 250 kph, has been unleashed to reach up to 285 kph. This isn’t just about numbers, but a testament to ABT’s capability to harness the Audi RS3's potential without compromising the car's reliability.
A Symphony for the Ears
ABT ensures that the RS3’s performance isn’t just felt, but also heard. The upgraded RS3 gets a 4-pipe exhaust system made of stainless steel, culminating in black chrome-plated tailpipes. This setup doesn’t only add an aesthetic appeal to the car's rear but also produces a sonorous note that will be music to any car enthusiast’s ears.
Rolling on Style
Complementing the RS3's enhanced performance are the stylish and performance-oriented wheels. Customers can choose between the cast ER-C or the lighter, more complex forged ER-F wheels, both available in 19 inches. These wheels, offered in "Gun-Metal", "Silverbullet", or "Black Magic" finishes, perfectly fit the vehicle's enhanced sporty persona. They also can be outfitted with 235/35 R19 tyres for those craving enhanced grip on the tarmac.
Finishing Touches
The transformation wouldn’t be complete without some attention to the interior. The ABT Audi RS3 comes with bespoke floor mats bearing silver ABT embroidery and curved lines. The moment of entry into the car is marked by LED lights, bearing the ABT logo, adding a touch of elegance and reminding occupants of the special nature of this vehicle.
ABT Audi RS3: Performance Redefined
In conclusion, ABT's tuning package for the 2016 Audi RS3 doesn't just deliver raw performance. It provides an experience, blending power, aesthetics, and sound into a vehicle that's as ready for the race track as it is for the open road. ABT takes the RS3, already a high-performing machine, and amplifies its characteristics, providing the driver with an unparalleled driving experience. This is not simply an Audi RS3; this is an ABT Audi RS3, where performance is redefined.
