The Audi RS3 – A Limited-Edition Sportback

Whether you’re shopping for your first new car or you’ve been around the block a few times, you may want to consider the Audi RS3. With its limited-edition styling, all-wheel-drive system, and new styling, this model has something to offer to every type of driver.

New styling

Featuring a unique design and based on the latest Audi A3 model, the RS3 is a powerful, high-performance compact car. Besides its powerful engine and quattro all-wheel drive, it offers a high-performance stance, high-quality interior, and an eye-catching exterior. Moreover, the vehicle has a warranty of four years or 50,000 miles.

In addition, Audi RS3 has an exclusive design package. This package adds high-gloss chrome center console trim, green air vents, and edging on seat belts. It also adds matching interior trim and floor mats.

It also includes a 12.3-inch high-resolution display for driving information. The show allows drivers to track G-forces, oil temperature, tire pressure, and a power bar graph.

The RS3 also features an aerodynamic lip kit and wide rear flares. The rear bumper features a black diffuser that surrounds the twin oval tips of the RS3 exhaust. The new RS3 also features a roof-mounted spoiler.

The RS3 features a new RS Torque Splitter that allows the driver to select drift mode. It also allows the driver to fine-tune the powertrain and suspension settings. The RS3 also has a new brake system with ceramic brakes with a 20 percent better cooling capacity. The brakes feature 6-piston calipers at the front and a single-piston caliper at the rear.

All-wheel-drive system

Besides the iconic five-cylinder engine, Audi’s new RS3 has a unique all-wheel-drive system. The car is fitted with a torque-vectoring rear differential that helps control understeer and yaw during fast cornering. The system also helps maintain stability on wet roads.

Audi’s all-wheel-drive system is equipped with three drive modes. The first mode, the RS Performance mode, is tuned for balanced on-track performance. This mode uses an electronic torque vectoring rear differential to distribute power between the front and rear wheels.

The RS Torque Rear mode is the second mode, designed for controlled drifting. This mode uses a torque-vectoring rear differential to improve stability on wet roads and control understeer during fast cornering. Finally, the third mode, Comfort mode, is designed to prioritize front-wheel drive.

RS3’s all-wheel-drive system features a ten-inch touchscreen in the middle of the dashboard. Touch inputs, voice commands, and buttons on the steering wheel can control it. It also includes a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot.

Limited-edition model

The interior is fitted with carbon fiber-backed bucket seats and Dinamica microfibre fabric. The exterior has a black finish, which carries the RS logo on the front.

There are a few other upgrades as well. This model is equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. As a result, it has a higher top speed and a 0-to-62-mph time of 3.8 seconds. It also has a torque splitter electronic differential.
