With 265hp and 350Nm (258lb-ft) of torque available in standard guise the Audi S3 isn’t exactly in need of a power boost, but for some hard core fans there’s always room for more. Austrian tuner O.CT Tuning recently took to improving the performance of the turbocharged hatch, lifting output to 328hp, while also giving it a sportier look as well.

The top level O.CT-engine package boosts the output of the sporty compact to 328hp and 425Nm (313lb-ft) of torque. Some of the modifications include a high-flow catalytic converter developed by HJS, a sports exhaust with an adjustable butterfly valve, as well as a new air intake and intercooler.
With the extra power onboard, the tuned S3 accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 5.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 265km/h.
Joining the list of power mods is a new O.CT-coilover suspension set designed especially for the S3, eight-piston brake calipers with 372mm discs for the front axles and 19in alloy wheels. Customers seeking additional individual touches can opt for carbon-fibre covers for the engine, battery and air intake.

I think the specs are the same. Seems that the acceleration is the same as the stock S3. That's not so good. I was expecting an acceleration number about 5 secs. Duh. Anyways the car looks great with these rims. Also observe the big brake kit.

It looks good. I'll give it that, thats why I would rather do a DIY job instead of asking a tuning company to tune my car up for me.

those rims looks a bit "too big" on the car :p

tuning wise it looks pretty much close to stock, so i uess most mods are "under" the body !

^Yeah it has 19in rims. They look good, though.

that'd be a mad ride! D.I.Y is the best part to modifying but it could be a good "bang for your buck" kinda car. be a nice sleeper

I'll take the black one, please. Those are teh h0tn3ss. Anyway, I think they look a lot like the Civic Si hatch; except with more of a hood and less of a wedge look.
