The refreshed five-cylinder Audi RS 3 has been revealed, packaging a new look and more features into the popular high performance model. It will be available as both a five-door hatchback and four-door saloon when it goes on sale later this year. Pricing will start at £59,510 for the hatchback, with the saloon £1,000 more.
Fans of the previous RS 3’s five-cylinder petrol engine will be happy to hear it’s been retained, but it doesn’t produce any more power or torque than before with 394bhp and 500Nm of torque. This is channelled through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a Haldex-like all-wheel drive system, with the same torque-vectoring differential mounted on the rear axle.
