Manhart has shown its new creation S 400, based on the current Audi S3 sedan. The performance figures of the tuned German machine exceed even those of the top-of-the-line Audi RS 3. The power of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine has been increased to 400 hp and 515 Nm. For comparison, the standard S3 has 306 hp and 400 Nm, and the RS3 is with 400 hp and 500 Nm.

To achieve the significant power improvement, Manhart installs a new intercooler, a carbon fiber intake, a stainless steel exhaust system from Remus, and a retuned ECU.

Beyond the powertrain tuning, a set of H&R springs are fitted, which lower the S3 by 1.181 inches (30 millimeters).

Manhart S 400 stands out with a gray body with red and black accents, including an asymmetrical stripe. It rides on a set of 19-inch Concave One wheels with a satin black finish. There are no changes to the interior and brakes.
