Secret Photo: Audi RS3 takes to a ‘Ring (with tractable wing?)
The subsequent generation Audi RS3 is entrance, it’s only the matter of when. But the bigger subject is what’s starting to energy Audi’s hottest induce when it arrives upon European shores.
Considering which the A3 upon that it’s based shares a same height (PQ35) as the TT RS, there’s the great possibility which Audi could barter a coupe’s turbocharged 2.5-liter FSI inline-five into a engine bay. Unchanged, a five-pot would put out 335 horsepower as well as 332 pound-feet of torque to possibly the six-speed primer or S Tronic dual-clutch gearbox, as well as naturally, energy will be delivered to all four wheels with the identical 40:60 front-to-rear torque split.
Our new batch of view shots uncover the somewhat mutated A3, finish with the RS-ified fascia, lower position and massive brakes front as well as back, nonetheless a singular, twin-tipped empty (and grilled-mounted pinnedtoken could be in error for the customary S3. More interestingly is a back wing, which remained fixed during partial of a RS3’s ‘Ring run, though was canted upwards around an additional territory. It could be a little kind of adaptive air stop or it could’ve only come dismantled whilst defeat around a lane.
Regardless, given Audi doesn’t suggest an S3 in the U.S., there’s small possibility of the RS3 creation it to the States anytime shortly.
