From a distance, one could easily confuse this Audi RS3 with a stock one but look a little closer and dig a little deeper and you will find an RS3 that has the potential to outsprint some supercars all while being able to transport four adults in comfort and luxury.

The company behind this RS3 is known as MTM and there’s a good chance you’ve heard of them before as they’ve built plenty of phenomenal Audi Sport models over the years. In this case, it has taken the car’s standard 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine and installed an improved intake manifold. The tuner has then tuned both the engine and transmission control units to safely increase horsepower and torque across the entire rev range.

These modifications mean this RS3, appropriately known as an RS3R, now delivers 653 hp and 360 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. It can reportedly hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.2 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 9.44 seconds and sprint through to an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h).

A number of other changes have been made to the car. These include the fitment of 20-inch MTM Bimoto forged wheels with a gold finish, both a carbon fiber rear diffuser and front splitter, carbon accents on the front air intakes, MTM graphics, and new performance suspension from KW that significantly reduces the ride height and should also improve handling. MTM has also fitted a stainless-steel exhaust manufactured in-house with sport metal catalytic converters. The tuner also offers its modified RS3 with louder exhaust pops.

Unfortunately, the upgrades don’t come cheap. In Germany, the entire package costs an eye-watering €27,070 ($29,831) and that is before the €8,896 ($9,803) installation fee.
