The 2016 ABT Audi RS3 450 Individual, a masterstroke in auto engineering and aesthetics, has been unveiled, showcasing its distinctive charm that takes it a notch higher than its competition. This masterpiece owes its character to its dynamic power of approximately 450hp/331kW and around 550 Nm torque. The distinctive quality that sets it apart is the attention to detail brought about by ABT Individual, making this compact beast stand out from the crowd.
Exquisite Exterior and Interior Aesthetics
The RS3 450 Individual's exterior is a visual delight, presenting a matte red finish with a touch of pearlescent flair complemented by a black rear. This refreshing color play extends to the vehicle's interior, where the black Alcantara creates a fascinating contrast. Components bearing the carbon look along with silver seams add to the sporty appeal and visual allure of the vehicle. The silver material touches extend to the door beads, trims, seat lining, center console, and seat buckets, all showcasing the ABT logo, offering a unique sense of branding to the car.
Engine Performance and Handling
The ABT Audi RS3 450 Individual showcases an impressive lineage of ABT's blacksmithing heritage with its 19-inch ER-F forged wheels. These wheels, as opposed to cast wheels, carry a very dense material structure that ensures superior stability and reduced weight. Equipped with 235/35 ZR19 tyres from Continental, the RS3 450 Individual exhibits formidable grip. To enhance the vehicle's handling, the springs lower the car by about 30mm at the front and 25mm at the rear axle.
Furthermore, the vehicle boasts the ABT Power S, imparting the RS3 450 Individual with approximately 450hp/331kW. The car's performance gets a further boost from various elements including a larger intercooler and the optional sports-type exhaust system, which carries four black chrome-plated tailpipes and an impressive 102mm diameter.
