As ABT Sportsline is nearing the end of the development phase of its new aftermarket parts for the 2013 Audi A3 hatchback, the German tuning brand of all things related to the Volkswagen Group wants to share new details on the performance and styling packages that will be bundled under the AS3 moniker.
According to ABT, the performance kits under development concern four engines at this time: the not yet released 2.0-liter TSI petrol that is said to be boosted from 217hp (220PS) to around 276hp (280PS); the 1.4-liter TFSI from 138hp (140PS) to 168hp (170PS); the 2.0-liter TDI diesel from 148hp (150PS) to 178hp (180PS) and the 2.0-liter TDI diesel from 181hp (184PS) to 207hp (210PS).
Other available upgrades will include new suspension kits and sports exhaust systems.
On the outside, the exterior of the new A3 hatchback is dressed in a body kit that includes ABT’s version of the classic Audi grille, a front apron with a lip spoiler, side skirts, front fender air-vent trims, a larger roof spoiler and a rear apron incorporating a diffuser.
The package can be completed by a selection of lightweight alloy wheels available in both 18- and 19-inch sizes.
