Bye Bye AMG: Audi RS3 Sedan Confirmed For 2018

Following up with our earlier post about the state of Audi Sport Models in North America. Today we learned from several sources that during the Audi Summit for Audi of America employees. Audi executives confirmed that the Audi RS 3 Sedan is a GO.

Up until now there has been little information about the possibility of an Audi RS 3 sedan released. Even our spy photographers have failed to catch a sign of an RS 3 Sedan testing.

"Bye Bye AMG"? (Sigh) Click-bait. Inflammatory. Senseless.

AMG will do just fine. As will Mercedes. We'll see how the RS3 delivers when it arrives. We'll talk then... 2 years down the road.

The biggest impact might be felt within Audi's own stable; the S4. Similarly priced. Similarly sized interiors. Similar interior and exterior designs. Both will have virtual cockpit. But the RS3 will probably have 70+ more hp and be lighter. It would almost be a no brainer for someone to go with the RS3 vs. the S4.

Guess they are trying to target the M2.
