I wanted to share an awesome Audi S3 project we are involved with by Bluewater Performance in Denver, CO. They teamed up with our sponsored driver, and automotive journalist, Robb Holland, to try and take the FWD record back after Acura's TLX factory run of 10:48.094 last year.

Obviously, this required a drivetrain modification to the S3 to channel power to the front wheels only and power was increased to 500 horsepower. More info about the build can be found in our interview post here. Check out a few more pics of the build below in addition to stunning in-car footage during testing with almost zero visibility. We will keep this thread updated with pics and content from the Pikes Peak Hillclimb and follow along on social media with Motul USA, Bluewater Performance, and Robb Holland.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the build leading up to the event.

Post says RS3, but the video looks like a modified S3. Really made me miss my S3 lol.

Yep, just got a correction that it is an Audi S3. Updated!

I made mention of Robb trying to "take back" the FWD record and here is a great video from his 2016 Audi TTRS record-breaking attempt of 10:56.878, prior to the Acura run in 2018.
