Abt's off-the-shelf tuning products for the 2.0 TFSI and 1.8 TFSI engines available for the Audi A3 Cabriolet put the new Audi rag top in four stages of upgraded power. The first offering for the 2.0 TFSI add a healthy portion of horsepower from 200hp (147kW) to 240hp (177kW) while the second Power S upgrade brings the rag top on par with the Audi S3 with 270hp (199kW). Most likely to be the more popular engine choice, the 1.8 TFSI engine also gets bumped up from the standard 160hp (118kW) to a very respectable 200hp (147kW), or to 240hp (177kW) with ABT Power S.

In the styling department, there's not much to be seen yet. Besides the two sets of Abt Sporsline wheels, Abt will surely have something more stylistically presentable in the near future, hopefully, soon

This car wouldn't be that bad if it had a folding hardtop.The softtop sucks when somebody decides to cut it open and steal your car or carjack you.

it'd be easier to throw a rat into an open window for carjacking, then to try and cut it open.

but I agree, this car would be cool with a optional folding hard top
