ABT’s RS3 Is A Proper HyperHatch
It seems that Audi, with the new 367hp RS3, has created a new niche, since calling it simply “hot-hatch” would be an understatement. If a car from a sober look and ideal for living with you 365 days a year, is able to unleash supercar performance, to us it seems more appropriate to consider it a “Hyper-Hatch”, shall we? Let alone how it can increase our foaming at the mouth when we discover that the famous tuner ABT has thought that the power was not enough (probably it is never enough), and has thus emphasized the concept of “hyper”, bringing this very special RS3 at an altitude of 430 horsepower and 515Nm of torque. Besides the classic changes that the German tuner works for years on Audi and VW models, there are also special modifications to the body that however does not affect even a small part of the original design of the 5-door of the “four rings”. New exhaust and new performance figures, with a 0-100 that goes down to 4.1 seconds and a top speed that increases up to 285 kph.
