OETTINGER Audi A3 eBay Edition 2003 Unveiled

Press Release

Here they are, the first images of the new styling package of the 2003 Audi A3 eBay Edition by Audi/VW tuner OETTINGER. In collaboration with their technology partners and worldwide online marketplace eBay, the Audi/VW specialists from Friedrichsdorf, Germany is forging a new 21st Century path with the eBay Edition OETTINGER A3.

OETTINGER: high end in every way

The new styling kit consists of a front and rear spoiler, side skirts, and an upper and lower front grille insert. Particularly noteworthy is the functional carbon fiber front spoiler lip and rear diffuser, designed to improve down-force at high speed. OETTINGER also paid special attention to improving air flow to both the engine and transmission. In conjunction with a power upgrade to 180 hp and 400 Nm of torque the OETTINGER A3 eBay edition assures a sporty appearance, inside and out. OETTINGER would not be OETTINGER if the other components would not compliment the high quality of design and performance. Aside from the multi-piece 19" light alloy wheels, which complete the exterior look, the exceptional adjustable stainless steel suspension system from KW assures efficient transfer of forces via the superior Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tires to the tarmac. Twin 76 mm exhaust tips hint at the performance of the OETTINGER A3 eBay edition. The tantalizing sound of the stainless steel sport exhaust was carefully tuned to the new engine in conjunction with Remus. For the right interior atmosphere a color coded Recaro leather interior is complimented with accessories and accents finished in aluminum and carbon.

eBay Edition: A multimedia experience

In the interior, the OETTINGER A3 eBay edition displays the prowess of OETTINGER Mobile Systems (OMS), which fulfills even the most exceptional wishes in terms of automotive multimedia applications. Aside from a VDO navigation system, and an OETTINGER sound system, OMS equips the future owner of the A3 with virtually everything available today. This includes a head unit which aside from playing CDs and radio also manages a 20 GB hard drive to replay MP3s and video. Further the OETTINGER A3 eBay edition features internet access via an integrated touch-tablet PC and DVD player, courtesy of „eroad". Vodafone provides an in-car wireless LAN solution as well as stable internet access at almost ISDN speeds, assuring that none of the over 16 million items for sale on the world wide online market place eBay are missed en route.
