The Audi Q3, in standard form, already looks classy and dynamic, but the German tuner wanted to further accentuate the car’s unique lines, and they came with a new tuning package. They added a custom rear apron which integrates the four pipe exhaust system, a striking front grille, custom side sills, a rear roof spoiler and a redesigned front spoiler with meaner looking air intakes.
“The Q3 is an extremely athletic yet very elegant vehicle. It combines the powerful aesthetics of a robust car with the shape of a cool coupe”, explains Hans-Jürgen Abt. For the CEO of ABT Sportsline, the world’s largest tuner of vehicles from the VW Group, the latest offspring of the SUV family represents an absolute highlight in the product range: “In its class the Q3 is something special. For our designers it provides the perfect working basis, as it is both classy and dynamic”, states Hans-Jürgen Abt.
The German tuner comes with a new pack which is able to further accentuate the unique tornado curves of the Q3 with side sills. The front spoiler the inherently compact car, in connection with the striking ABT front grill and seems more powerful and to have more presence. The rear wing, rear apron and exhaust pipe covers also ensure that from the rear of the SUV you can see that the car has a good figure.
Even if the engineers from Bavaria are currently working on the final tests of the individual ABT POWER performance packages, it is already certain that the new car will provide an additional boost of maximum sportiness and extra driving enjoyment in practically all situations.
According to the company, as a result the most powerful version of the 2.0 TSI is expected to offer 250 HP or 184 kW (series standard: 211 HP/155 kW). ABT Sportsline converted the 170 HP version (125 kW) into a sports engine with 210 HP (154 kW). Considering that for SUVs, a diesel engine is always a good and economical solution, ABT POWER is also available for both performance levels of the economic 2.0 TDI: the series standard 140 HP (103 kW) is increased to 170 HP (125 kW), while the version with 177 HP (130 kW) as standard offers a high-torque 195 HP (143 kW) after the power treatment by ABT.
“Regardless of which engine is chosen, the customer always receives a vehicle which combines maximum driving fun with everyday usability and reliability. The fact that handling and optics do not have to suffer due to the car’s diversity is proved emphatically by the SUV of ABT,” the Tuner says.
The new Audi Q3 is a really attractive car, with design elements which harmonise with the performance improvements. The extravagant light metal alloys from the CR and DR ranges suit the ABT Q3’s powerful-robust coupe shape perfectly and it goes without saying that the alloys are also available in combination with strong load-bearing high-performance tyres – in accordance with the commitment to maximum urban sportiness.
So far, no details about pricing were released.
