Audi RS3 Sportback

2012 Audi RS3 Sportback

An absurdly late arrival in the Audi A3 range is the high-performance version of the A3 Sportback that is even more better than the S3 Sportback. The Audi RS3 Sportback is the latest addition to the Audi RS lineup, which consists of incredibly high-performance Audi vehicles offered such is the TT RS and RS5.

With the fire-breathing 2.5L 20V engine, the RS3 accumulates a mind-numbing power output of 340 PS/5400-6500 RPM and the torque output of 450Nm/1600-5300 RPM. Overall, the RS3 Sportback's top speed reaches to about 250km/h and it reaches 0-100km in just 4.6 seconds. The standard transmission for the RS3 Sportback is a 7-speed S Tronic transmission that allows the driver to switch either in Auto mode or in the enjoyable Manual mode.

My thoughts about the RS3 Sportback:
Is the arrival of Audi's spellbinding RS3 Sportback a little too late? In my highest expectations, I think Audi brought this hot hatch a little too late because of their hectic schedules.

Despite that, I think that the RS3 Sportback is one major major fun-to-drive hatchback because of its high-performance 2.5L TFSi engine, S tronic transmission, quattro technology, and everything that most European car addicts want to be tempted by the seductive power of the RS3 Sportback.

Once you step inside, you maybe undergo several WTF (what the fudge) moments when you take it for a spin.
