Despite its compact size, the RS3 Saloon offers a reasonably spacious interior with ample room for front passengers, although the rear seats are more suitable for shorter journeys or smaller passengers. Performance and Powertrain At the heart of the Audi RS3 is a 2.5-liter five-cylinder TFSI engine, which is one of Audi’s most iconic powerplants. This engine produces 394 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque, enabling the RS3 Saloon to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. The engine's unique five-cylinder configuration not only provides strong performance but also delivers a distinctive exhaust note that is celebrated by enthusiasts. Power is delivered to all four wheels via Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system, ensuring excellent traction in all conditions. The RS3 is equipped with a 7-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission, which offers rapid gear changes and contributes to the car’s dynamic driving experience. The RS3 also features an RS Torque Splitter, which allows for controlled drifts by sending up to 100% of torque to the rear wheels if needed, enhancing its agility and handling. Handling and Dynamics The RS3’s handling is sharp and responsive, thanks to its sport-tuned suspension, adaptive dampers, and Quattro all-wheel-drive system. The car offers multiple driving modes, including Comfort, Auto, Dynamic, and RS Individual, allowing drivers to tailor the car's behavior to their preferences. The Carbon Black edition is also equipped with upgraded brakes, featuring larger discs and RS-specific calipers, providing strong stopping power. The precise steering and balanced chassis make the RS3 an engaging car to drive, whether on twisty back roads or the racetrack. Technology and Infotainment The RS3 comes with a host of advanced technology features. The Audi Virtual Cockpit is a standout, offering a 12.3-inch digital display that provides navigation, media, and performance information. The MMI infotainment system, accessed via a 10.1-inch touchscreen, supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and navigation. The RS3 also features a premium sound system, with options to upgrade to the Bang & Olufsen system for an even more immersive audio experience. Other tech features include wireless charging, multiple USB ports, and a head-up display (optional), which projects key information onto the windshield.

The start/stop system helps to conserve fuel during city driving by shutting off the engine when the car is idling. 15/08/2024 auctionOptions
