ABT has prepared a new RS3-R around the Audi RS3 facelift and fixed production at 125 cars, offered in Saloon and Sportback form. The project carries a revised output of 510 horsepower and joins exterior, chassis, and cabin changes under one limited-series package.

ABT places a strong focus on chassis detail. Forged HR20 wheels from the ABT HIGH PERFORMANCE line use 245/30 R20 tyres. The company links those rims with ABT suspension springs and sports stabilisers, aiming for lower unsprung mass and tighter wheel control. Forging technology supports wheel strength while trimming weight, which ABT connects directly with sharper response in fast direction changes.

A short wheelbase remains part of the base layout. Through the myABT-App, driving modes adapt to different styles, while suspension hardware shapes cornering balance further. Grip and precision receive repeated attention across the package description, especially during load transfer through bends.

The body receives several visible carbon-fibre additions. Front sections carry a spoiler and front-flics arrangement integrated into facelift body lines. Mirror caps move into the same material, followed by a rear-skirt insert. Sportback versions add a second rear spoiler. Every aerodynamic part uses glossy visible carbon fibre.

ABT also states that those exterior pieces underline motorsport influence across the compact platform. There is no attempt to soften the presentation. Surface treatment stays direct, especially around lower sections and rear detailing.

Inside, the RS3-R receives seat finishing with an ABT logo in the headrest and an RS3-R marking in the shoulder area. Door-entry lighting uses an ABT logo, while illuminated sill sections include a “1 of 125” reference. Door sills also carry a matching emblem.

A separate “ABT RS3-R 1/125” badge appears inside the cabin. Floor mats receive ABT logos as well. The start-stop switch cap changes too, one more detail placed inside a package built around exclusivity rather than isolated parts.

ABT describes the interior as a cockpit shaped for the RS3-R driver. Cabin revisions stay consistent with the numbered-series theme, so each visible insert repeats limited-production identity.

The tuner presents the RS3-R as a compact model aimed at buyers seeking racing-focused character after the Audi RS3 facelift. Sedan and Sportback body styles remain available under the same 125-car ceiling.

No price appears in the material shown here. What does appear, repeatedly, is strict production volume, a full carbon-fibre exterior package, forged twenty-inch wheels, and a cabin built around numbered-series identity. For a compact four-door or hatchback, the package leaves little untouched.
