Kempten’s ABT Sportsline has put some meat on the bones of its Audi A3 program, the AS3, releasing further details today.

Visually, ABT’s aero package consists of a front spoiler with central lip spoiler, a front grille section with vertical bars and black mesh, side skirts, large roof spoiler and rear diffuser section with apertures for the new double-twin tailpipes. ABT carries a choice of 18 and 19-inch alloys wheels, including the DR items pictured here.

Performance upgrades are available across the range; with ABT’s Power Kit in place, output from the 1.4 TFSI is increased from 103 kW (140 hp) to 125 kW (170 hp), with the brawnier 2.0 TFSI jumps from 162 kW (220 hp) to 209 kW (280 hp). Owners with 2.0 TDI-engined cars can enjoy either 154 kW (210 hp) or 132 kW (180 hp) depending on the specific model.
