The Audi RS3 8Y facelift unleashes its full motorsport potential with the HPerformance chip tuning box. With 460 hp and 610 Nm, Stage 1 already ensures explosive acceleration and noticeably sharper handling - pure racing emotion for the road.
With Stage 1+, the RS3 reaches the next level of performance: our specially developed intake (open or closed variant) relieves the engine on the fresh air side, delivers more air volume and increases power to a reproducible 480 hp and 640 Nm of torque. At the same time, it produces a powerful, deep intake sound that turns every gas stroke into a real acoustic experience. The humming and howling of the five-cylinder engine under load intensifies the motorsport feeling and turns every acceleration into an intense driving experience that has a direct impact on the emotions.
It is conveniently controlled via the smartphone app: power levels can be activated or deactivated at the touch of a button, while the original engine control unit remains unaffected. Even after official software updates from Audi, the extra power is reliably retained and the vehicle can be returned to standard status at any time.
With level 1+, the HPerformance chip tuning box transforms the RS3 8Y Facelift into a beast on the road: maximum performance, razor-sharp response and an impressive intake sound that noticeably intensifies every driving experience - for all those who not only want to drive, but also feel the sound and emotion of the road.
Note: As already mentioned in our general terms and conditions, the power rating for this level refers to the use of 102 octane fuel. A lower octane rating results in less power.
Please note: Performance and acceleration figures may be affected by various external factors, fuels, or additional hardware installed, as well as the overall condition (including mileage) of the engine. The figures provided are for reference only and are not binding. With regard to legality and registration under the StVZO , please refer to our Terms and Conditions.
Notes on performance specifications:
The power and torque values listed are approximate or empirical values determined under specific conditions. Deviations may occur due to factors such as varying vehicle conditions, manufacturing tolerances, mileage, maintenance status, environmental conditions, fuel quality, or vehicle configuration.
Graphs of power or torque curves are intended solely for the general illustration of possible performance ranges. Due to the multitude of technical factors, actual results may vary in individual cases.
Dynamometer measurements depend on the measurement method, dynamometer type, settings, and other technical parameters. Results from different measurements or test benches may therefore vary and are not necessarily directly comparable.
Power increases may lead to changes in power and torque characteristics compared to the stock condition. The extent of these changes may vary depending on the vehicle and configuration.
All power specifications are therefore to be understood as non-binding reference values.
A consistent improvement
Even more excitement thanks to an enhanced intake sound, plus improved performance and extra power thanks to cooler intake air temperatures!
Our Stage 1+ kit for the Audi RS3 8Y facelift models combines our in-house tuning box with one of our intake systems. Both variants—the HP 4" closed intake (100 mm) for the stock turbo inlet or our 4" turbo inlet, as well as our 5" 125 mm open intake —can be registered in combination with our HP chip tuning box, which is TÜV-approved. This results in a great package for maximum efficiency and durability.
The result is not only noticeable increased performance, but also an emotional driving experience with more powerful response, more precise air flow and noticeably increased driving pleasure – entirely in keeping with the HPerformance DNA.
