The tuner team over at Manhart must have grown bored of tuning all the BMW and Mercedes sports cars, because their latest project is a hot-tempered Audi RS 3.
The liftback was allowed to keep its 2.5-liter five-cylinder block under the hood, but received an active-valve exhaust system and a software upgrade. This and a coupe of other mods raised its output to a cool 500 PS (493 hp / 368 kW) and slashed the sprint time to just 3.8 seconds.
If you want a similar tuning package for your RS 3 sedan, you will be glad to know that Manhart has it in stock, too. Furthermore, the four-door car is even faster on the uptake, accelerating 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.6 seconds.
On the outside, the reimagined RS 3 wears the trademark Manhart livery of black and gold. The rest appears to be stock.
