The car features a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine that adds 400 lb-ft of torque to the car. New parts include an intercooler and an ABT Engine Control system that were added to the car. The company has not released the time it takes the car to accelerate from 0 to 60, but it is believed to be faster than the 4.1 second time that comes with the Audi model. Other improved features of the ABT Sportsline Audi RS3 include upgraded brakes, suspension system, as well as an anti-roll bar.
