By modifying Audi Q3, German tuner ABT thinks they’ve made the ultimate urban crossover, sporty and functional.
They have basically facelifted the car by adding a new front bumper, which has a great design but looks a bit childish, a new front grille, fender flares, door strip attachments, rear skirt set with exhaust inserts, and ABT rear wing.
The new CR and DR designer light alloy wheels in 18 to 20 inch, and the lowered suspension also help with the killer look, while improving the Q3’s handling characteristics.
Even more extensive than the body kit is the engine tuning program ABT has prepared for the car. They’ve tuned both 2.0 liter TDI and TSI diesel and petrol units for different levels of output:
