MZANSI loves sports cars and speed, but one thing they love more is the sound of cars.
They love these sounds to the extent that they coined these cars a Vrrr-pha.
One of these infamous cars is the Audi RS 3 Sportback or sedan – and the sound of the five-pot engine is what matters.
Audi is launching the RS 3, second generation, with its award-winning five-cylinder engine now having more torque – making it even more powerful.
In combination with the RS torque splitter installed for the first time in an Audi, the A3 series’ emotional flagship model offers performance and lateral dynamics on a whole new level.
Local market introduction of the RS 3 model range comes with prices starting at R1 215 000 for the RS 3 Sportback and R1 245 000 for the RS 3 Sedan (including VAT and taxes).
With its five-cylinder, high-performance engine, the Audi RS 3 is one-of-a-kind in its segment.
The 2.5 TFSI has won the International Engine of the Year award nine times in a row. In the latest generation of the compact sports car, the engine is now more powerful than ever before. This is mainly due to the increased torque of 500Nm, 20Nm more than in the predecessor.
The models’ top speed, electronically limited to 250km/h, can be optionally increased to 290km/h (if the RS Dynamic package Plus is selected) just like acceleration, this is an unmatched figure in the compact segment.
