Audi RS3 Sportback by SchwabenFolia

SchwabenFolia has covered a modified Audi RS3 Sportback in a matte Gorange (gold-orange) Metallic foil. The car originally had a Suzuka Grey Metallic finish but now it wears a 2,350 EUR golden/orange skin, complemented by the 1,450 EUR customized interior featuring bucket seats with the Nordschleife logo and driver's name. Excluded from foliation were the side mirrors, glossy black roof, front lip, moldings, as well as the Audi rings in the grille, while at the back the taillights are now tinted.

Under the bonnet of this custom RS3 Sportback is the same 5-cylinder, 2.5-liter turbocharged engine but instead of producing 340 HP (250 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) it now churns 425 HP (313 kW) and 570 Nm (420 lb-ft). This was possible thanks to software optimization and by installing a RAGE 2.5 exhaust system developed by F-Town Street with dual 80mm tailpipes priced at 5,450 EUR.

Audi RS3 by Sportec

Sportec has introduced a new tuning package for the Audi RS3 Sportback. Looking tastefully restrained, the model has a stainless steel sports exhaust system, an adjustable coilover suspension (which reduces the ride height by 20-40mm) and 20-inch alloy wheels that cover high-performance Movit brakes. Thanks to a revised ECU, the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine produces 408 PS (300 kW / 402 hp) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 68 PS (50 kW / 67 hp) and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft). If that isn't impressive enough, non-Swiss versions can be tuned to deliver 500 PS (368 kW / 493 hp).

Audi RS3 tuned by MTM

German tuner MTM has a power kit for the Audi RS3 Sportback that dials up output by more than 130 horses over the series 340 PS (250 kW / 335 hp) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque.

A total power rating of 472 PS (347 kW / 466 hp) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque is reached by means of a modified turbocharger and a new sport exhaust system which also provides the appropriate sound. MTM beefs up the braking system to match all that extra go too.

The RS3 by MTM is then good for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.1 seconds over the series' 4.6. MTM also adds 19-inch bimoto wheels and lifts the V-max to 292 km/h (181 mph).

MTM offers more modest bumps in output to 410 PS (302 kW) and 424 PS (312 kW) for the less adventurous.

Total cost of the top-end package is €10,600.

Audi RS3 by ABT Sportsline

German tuner Abt Sportsline has a new tuning package for the Audi RS3.

Power boosting on the 2.5 liter TFSI unit comes in two stages, with the first bump being a substantial 80 horsepower over the series 340 PS (250 kW / 335 bhp) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque for a new output level of 420 PS (309 kW / 414 bhp).

Abt Sportsline goes even further with an output offering 470 PS (346 kW / 464 bhp) and 630 Nm (465 lb-ft) of torque.

Both editions also get their V-max limiter lifted to 285 km/h (177 mph).

The tuner offers various 19-inch light-alloy rims on the RS3, wrapped in tires sized 255/30R19 for the front wheels and 225/35R19 at the back.
