Audi RS Q3 Sportback gets 4 power upgrades to choose from

Owners of the latest Audi RS Q3 Sportback (see video) or its SUV-shaped cousin may now opt for one of the four available power boost kits released by German tuner B&B AutomobilTechnik.

€1,798 buys you a simple ECU tune that yields an extra 58 hp and 85 Nm of torque, resulting in 458 PS (452 hp / 337 kW) and 565 Nm (417 lb-ft) hitting the crank.

Stage 2 takes things a bit further with an optimized air intake system, giving 476 PS (469 hp / 350 kW) and 610 Nm (450 lb-ft) of torque for €2,950. Next up is the Stage 3, which adds an enhanced turbo and a custom exhaust downpipe. In return for their €5,950, buyers receive 508 PS (501 hp / 374 kW) and 655 Nm (483 lb-ft) of torque.

Finally, those interested in maxing out the potential of their Audi RS Q3 are invited to install a high-performance intercooler, a sports exhaust system, an even more serious turbo kit and other options. The end result of 593 PS (585 h[ / 436 kW) and 705 Nm (520 lb-ft) has its price, though: €14,950.

The stock seven-speed dual-clutch transmission receives a number of stability-oriented modifications with every upgrade, and the speed limiter gets removed. Paid options include shortened suspension springs, new brakes, and a muffler.
