Two pictures show what appears to be a Quattro GmbH steering wheel with perforated leather and an "RS3" badge, while another image shows an instrument cluster with "RS3" labeling.

Could this be the real deal or is this a hoax like the guy who claimed he shot Bigfoot?

It’s official – Audi’s firebreathing RS3 hot hatch is on its way. We brought you spy shots of the most extreme A3 yet testing at the Nürburgring back in Issue 1,121.
