With the ABT Power R performance upgrade, an ABT intercooler is used in addition to the obligatory ABT Engine Control unit. This combination not only provides the RS3-R with additional 100 HP, but also brings with it a torque increase, so that instead of 500, a maximum of 600 Nm is now available. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h improves significantly: from 3.8 to 3.3 seconds. As a further highlight, the exhaust system is now joined by two ABT double end pipes with a diameter of 95 millimetres made of matt black stainless steel.
