Audi S3, over 400 hp thanks to the work of Manhart January 11, 2023 0

Famous coach Manhart fell into the hands of the Audi S3 (Sedan version – sedan). The result is a sports car capable of offering power that is exactly the same as that of the Audi RS 3. However, the tuner did not stop at meddling with the engine. In fact, the changes also affected the interior trim and appearance. The result of this work is Manhart C 400.

Let’s start with the engine, a turbocharged 4-cylinder 2.0 TFSI with 310 hp. and 400 Nm of torque. After a number of interventions, including the introduction of a new intercooler and a new control unit, the engine has reached give out 405 hp from 515 Nm. This is a power level very similar to the RS 3 power level (400 hp). No mention of new car features after engine modification. The “standard” S3 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.

The Manhart S 400 can also count on new exhaust system the ability to improve the sound of the engine. In addition, it is equipped with carbon fiber tailpipes. As mentioned earlier, the tuner was not limited to interfering only with the engine. Manhart has changed layout, introducing new H&R springs that lower the car’s ride height by 30mm. We also have special 19″ Manhart Concave One alloy wheels in matte black with 235/35ZR19 tires.

In any case, customers will also be able to request different discs based on the extensive catalog of the German tuner. The braking system has not changed. Even so, however, Manhart offers a variety of customization options based on customer requests.

As for the look of the German car, the tuner limited itself to offering its Manhart S 400 with a gray body with a number of red and black details. However, as far as the cockpit is concerned, the tuner claims that he did not make any changes. However, even in this case, Manhart offers various possibilities for personalization.
