HIGH FIVE FOR THE AUDI RS Q3 ! ABT PRESENTS : 5 ATTRACTIVE RIMS AND 440 HP FROM 5 CYLINDERS

With its charismatic five-cylinder engine delivering 400 HP ( 294 kW ) and 480 Nm as standard , the Audi RS Q3 showcases Audi ’ s sporty brand DNA perfectly . As SUV or crossover coupé , it is also the antithesis of conservative body design and appears more desirable as a result . After all , in the early 80s , the iconic , angular design of the original ( Ur- ) quattro caused a stir in design circles . Back then , ABT Sportsline already offered exciting tuning options and also offers them for both body variants of the RS Q3 . The latest coup is the 21-inch Sport HR alloy wheel , the perfect addition to the DR , ER-C , FR and GR models which are already available . This means that the world ’ s largest automotive aftermarket and performance parts specialist for Audi and VW now offers five attractive rim designs for the RS Q3 . The range covers both 20 and 21-inch sizes .
The ABT Sport HR is available exclusively in glossy black and exudes pure energy and effortless elegance . This is achieved by ten intricate double spokes that appear to rise from the hub cover and reach deep into the rim flange . The generous spacing provide a view of the sophisticated braking technology of the RS Q3 . The rim ’ s optimum weight balance also contributes to driving stability .
