The RS3 Sedan draws power from a turbocharged 2.5-litre 5-cylinder engine that makes 400 PS and 500 Nm and is paired with a 7-speed S-tronic transmission. The sports sedan accelerates to 100 km/h from rest in just 3.8 seconds and the 2.5-litre TFSI unit also won International Engine of the Year nine times in a row.
Besides having an award-winning engine, the RS3 Sedan is also the fastest compact car on the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife when it completed a lap in just 7.40.748 minutes.
You might be curious about that whole ‘torque-splitting’ moniker in the title and the RS3 Sedan is the first Audi to include a torque splitter. It essentially “splits” the torque variably between the rear wheels to provide greater lateral dynamics and stability.

Bold and aggressive is one of the few ways to describe the exterior. The broad, strikingly accentuated front wings and aggressive air vents make a powerful impression, accentuated with signature RS black Audi four rings, single-frame and honeycomb grille.
Inside, the RS3 Sedan is wrapped in black, red or green trim and features stylish fine Nappa leather sport seats with RS honeycomb stitching and an RS-exclusive steering wheel.
Six colour choices are available for the RS3 Sedan: Kyalami Green, Kemora Grey, Glacier White, Mythos Black, Python Yellow and Daytona Gray.
