Bavarian aftermarket tuners ABT Sportsline go whack once again with this up-tuned Audi RS3 once-over, delivering more power and an aggressive aesthetic to an already spicy German hot hatch.
The 'Power S' tune option will put down a staggering 470 horsepower and top out at an admirable 285 km/h. The 2.5-litre five banger engine has been modified with an ABT Engine Control System, which boosts the torque offering to a punchy 400 lb-ft. ABT's newly-tuned RS3 also includes upgraded brakes, suspension and an anti-roll bar, not to mention the mean quad chrome tailpipes and 19-inch matte black rims.
You can assume these mods will shave a significant amount off Audi's claimed 4.1-second squirt to 100km/h, though those figures for the 'Power S' upgrade haven't been released. If this is all still not enough to fulfil your hot-hatch wet dreams, you might want to consider ABT's 'Power R' tune, which ups the output to a bonkers 500 horsepower and a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.7 seconds. That much sauce, quite frankly, might just be too much for such a small car.
