As always, Audi has yet again raised the bar of supreme driving pleasure with the latest iteration of the celebrated RS 3. Available in both Sedan and Sportback options, this freshly minted RS3 sets refined benchmarks in handling and agility, firmly asserting its long-standing authority in the well sought-after realm of compact performance cars. Boasting a jaw-dropping lap time of 7:33.123 minutes on the iconic Nürburgring-Nordschleife racetrack, the all-new RS 3 comfortably surpasses its predecessor by a whopping seven seconds, proudly setting a new record.

A Triumphant Torque Splitter System

The all-new RS 3 features Audi’s robust torque splitter system, a cutting-edge innovation first introduced by the marque in 2021, promising unparallelled agility. As said by Marvin Schwätter, the peppy RS 3’s Technical Project Manager, this revolutionary system ensures a fully variable distribution between the rear wheels, substantially upscaling lateral dynamics.

Additionally, this system also promises seamless handling, thanks to the intelligent brake torque vectoring which optimally sends more torque to the outer rear wheel while braking the inner wheel. This significant0ly curtails understeer while carefully sharpening its turn-in response, precisely positioning the all-new RS 3 at the apex of every bend, facilitating earlier acceleration on corner exits.

Built to Dominate

Under the refreshed RS 3 lies a formidable 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder engine, relentlessly pumping out phenomenal power figures of 400 hp and a mesmerizing torque of 500 Nm. This breathtaking powertrain guarantees unmatched all-terrain aggression, domineeringly conquering challenging mountain roads and winding racetracks. This was duly testified by the all-new RS 3 at the Circuit Parcmotor Castellolí near Barcelona, where this mighty automobile unabashedly flaunted its performative prowess, flawlessly triumphing elevation changes and tight bends with utmost lateral precision in the performance mode.

Herculean Refinement, Pocket-Sized

Adding glory to the RS 3’s class-leading handling capabilities are its enhanced chassis algorithms.

Gracefully allowing seamless harmony between the torque splitter, electronic stability control, adaptive dampers, and Audi Drive Select modes, this state-of-the-art system vows leading-edge performance across varied terrains, ranging from dry and wet asphalt to snowy surfaces.

By elegantly incorporating premium advancements in the all-new RS 3, Audi aims at permanently revamping the celebrated realm of compact sports cars, generously presenting astute enthusiasts and discerning aficionados with a power-packed automobile that collectively unifies the vast realms of superior performance and uncompromised precision.
