You wouldn’t think the Audi RS Q3 needs any more power because in standard guise its 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder delivers 394 horses and 480Nm of torque to the quattro all-wheel drive system through a seven-speed transmission. Image Credit: ABT Sportsline

That’s plenty but ABT Sportsline has cranked up the horses with a more powerful version. Image Credit: ABT Sportsline

The German tuner has extracted an extra 40 horses from the five-pot motor making for a total of 434. Torque goes up to 520Nm and the top speed grows from 250kph to 285kph. Image Credit: ABT Sportsline

The 0-100kph acceleration has dropped to 4.3 seconds, a 0.2-second improvement compared to the stock version. Image Credit: ABT Sportsline

Visually, it looks the same as the standard model however ABT Sportsline offers four unique wheel designs including 20in and 21in choices. Image Credit: ABT Sportsline

Seen here are the 20in five-spoke design with diamond-machined outlines and mystic black finish behind which hide blue brake calipers and that’s all ABT has changed which is a pity because it would have looked even better with a more aggressive front and rear bumber, a wing, and side sills.

Thanks to ABT, this sporty SUV is still guaranteed to draw even more attention than it already does. Image Credit: ABT Sportsline
