KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5 — Audi Malaysia today announced the immediate availability of the exclusive Audi A3 Carbon Edition in Malaysia. Based on the regular A3 1.4 TFSI Sedan, this single-batch Carbon Edition model is limited to a run of just 30 units fully kitted in specially selected Audi Genuine Accessories for a sportier appearance

Immo Buschmann, Managing Director of Audi Malaysia shares, “The Audi A3 Carbon Edition is a showcase of how discerning customers can select customized packages featuring our range of Audi Genuine Accessories to achieve a look that is both individualistic but still distinctively Audi for their vehicles. As we ramp up our presence in Malaysia, I am looking forward to introducing more products that broaden the range of our offerings for customers that want something a little more exclusive.”

Each Audi A3 Carbon Edition features a combination of interior and exterior accoutrements to differentiate it from a regular model. Available only in Glacier White, the vehicle’s exterior features the Audi exclusive black styling package and the addition of a glossy black front  air dam, with matching rear apron and side sills for a contrastingly understated look all throughout.

At each corner, the standard model’s 17” cast aluminium rims are replaced with sporty 18” matt black 5-arm rotor design rims. Carbon exterior mirror housings and a carbon tailgate spoiler further reinforce its sporting intentions.

Inside, the Audi A3 Carbon Edition also sees the inclusion of Alcantara and leather combination sport seats, front + rear parking aid and comfort key as standard. Finally, each unit will feature an individually numbered stainless steel plaque on the centre console to underline its coveted status and innate rarity.
