It cannot be denied that the Audi Q3 is a majestic vehicle. This crossover vehicle already has a powerful engine as well as a body design that intimidates other vehicles on the streets. It is capable of exerting its presence both on city roads and off-roads. Still, there are companies that take this monster of a vehicle and improve it to have a better body design. The end result of this improvement is the ABT Q3 2.0 TSI. This vehicle is ABT Sportsline’s very own customization to the Audi Q3.
Overview
The ABT Q3 2.0 TSI is one of the long line of Audi vehicles that ABT Sportsline has customized throughout the years. The company offers customization options to virtually any area of the vehicle from the engine to the wheels. The company is also capable of tuning all engine options of the Audi Q3 meaning that they could improve the Q3’s already overwhelming performance. Performance aside, ABT Sportsline also offers customization options to the exterior as well as the interior of the vehicle. They have a variety of options available ensuring that all of their customers will get the aesthetics that they prefer.
Engine Tuning
The Audi Q3 comes with a stock 2.0 litre turbocharged engine that has either 211 horsepower or 170 horsepower. ABT Sportsline can tune the engine resulting to a 250 horsepower rating and 211 horsepower rating respectively. ABT Sportsline can also tune the engine of diesel powered Q3s. Installation of ABT’s power package would add 195 horsepower and a substantial amount of torque from the 170 horsepower engine. This package would also result to an increase of about 30 horsepower to the turbo diesel mill. With these installations, the ABT Sportsline’s Q3 would effortlessly run circles around the stock Audi Q3.
Body Tuning
ABT Sportsline offers a lot of body kits to customize the Audi Q3. There are multiple choices available for the front grille, front skirt, rear spoiler, and rear skirt. All of these options are meant to improve the performance of the Audi Q3. The resulting ABT Audi Q3 2.0 TFSI would have a more aerodynamic and streamlined body. The company also has options for the wheels and exhaust. The different wheel options differ only in design and size while the exhaust is available only for the front wheel drive models. The last modifications offered are for the brakes and suspensions. The modification to the brakes will install a brake system to the front axle whereas modifications to the suspension will allow the Q3 to carry more weight.
Performance
Once all of the modifications are added, the ABT Q3 2.0 TSI would have better performance and handling than the original Audi Q3. The modified Q3 would also have more personalized look as well as a slightly improved persona. The large increase in horsepower is more than welcome for this crossover vehicle while the body modifications make it easier for the vehicle to accelerate forward. All in all, the customizations work hand in hand to create a more dynamic, more powerful, and better Audi Q3.
