Experience Unmatched Power and Precision with the Limited-Edition ABT RS3-R
Razor-sharp performance meets pure racing adrenaline: ABT Sportsline’s experts have timed their unveiling perfectly for the Audi RS3 facelift, delivering an upgrade that genuinely honours this popular success story. The result is the new ABT RS3-R – a compact, high-performance machine that blends maximum agility, surgical precision, and unbridled power into a one-of-a-kind package. Limited to 125 Saloon and Sportback models, it channels genuine motorsport DNA, pushing the compact class to an unprecedented pinnacle of performance.
Propelled by ABT’s Power R performance boost and an optimised intercooler, the RS3-R produces an extraordinary 375 kW (510 hp) and 600 Nm of torque. With a 0 to 100 km/h sprint of just 3.3 seconds (down from 3.8 seconds on the standard model), it promises heart-pounding acceleration. Its short wheelbase and refined road holding transform every corner into an exhilarating experience. Meanwhile, the myABT app offers real-time performance data and multiple driving modes, giving drivers total control and customisation.
The exterior exudes a similarly dynamic spirit. Aerodynamic elements crafted from glossy, visible carbon fibre accentuate the RS3-R’s athletic lines. From the expressive front spoiler and front flics – seamlessly integrated into the facelifted design – to the dynamic mirror caps and a striking rear skirt insert, highlighted by an additional rear spoiler on the Sportback, this model’s sporting silhouette leaves a lasting impression.
ABT's HIGH-PERFORMANCE HR20 forged wheels, fitted with 245/30 R20 tyres, work harmoniously with specially tuned suspension springs and sports stabilisers to provide superb grip and stability when cornering. Thanks to the forging process, these lightweight wheels minimise unsprung mass, resulting in razor-sharp handling and unrivalled control.
Inside, the ABT and RS3-R logos on the seats, door sills bearing ‘1 of 125’, an ABT start-stop switch cap, ABT door entry lighting, and tailor-made floor mats with the ABT emblem create a genuine motorsport cockpit feel.
The new ABT RS3-R is now available to order as a Saloon or Sportback. Priced at €39,900.00 (including 19% VAT), plus €5,500.00 (including VAT) for assembly and TÜV approval, it redefines a high-performance compact.
