Audi RS 3

Automobiles

The Audi RS 3 is the performance derivative of the Audi A3 compact car. It first appeared as the RS 3 Sportback in 2011, with a turbocharged 2.5 litre five-cylinder engine rated at 340 PS and 450 newton metres, a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch gearbox and the quattro four-wheel drive system. A second generation went on sale in 2015 with 367 PS, a saloon body joined the Sportback in 2017 when the model also reached the North American market, and the version based on the 8Y A3 raised output to 400 PS and cut the 0 to 60 mph time to 3.8 seconds. In 2022 a Performance Edition for European buyers lifted power to 407 PS and allowed an unrestricted top speed of 300 km/h.
