The Audi RS 3 Sportback is brand new: Audi has just relaunched the compact sports car with a significantly more aggressive look. At the front, this is especially true of the new one black mask to recognize who the big Single frame grill and includes the headlights. The side view trumps with a new air outlet behind the front wheels, at the rear there is a redesigned diffuser and two oval tailpipes. A lot of black (all decorative elements are blackened as standard) contributes to the bad appearance. When looking at the engine, traditionalists should be happy, because the sportiest A3 retains it Five-cylinder gasoline engine of the predecessor. Nothing has changed in terms of performance, his 400 PS the 2.5 TFSI now provides earlier and longer. The torque is 20 Nm, so the car is now 500 Nm supplies. Together with the seven-speed double clutch and the quattro drive, this ensures a violent acceleration, as we could already see on the first drive. Expressed in numbers: In 3.8 seconds the RS 3 whizzes from zero to one hundred km / h. The end is at Tempo 250, the whole thing is accompanied by an impressive sound.
