New Audi RS3 Pictures

Can get an S3 for half that.. this is a ridiculous excuse from Audi.

For 40k you could spent 30k on a family estate and have an elise/exige to match.

It looks far too much like a regular S3! Where's the 4 exhausts, flared arches with fat wheels and proper hatchback body, not that crappy fastback?

This car is 5-6 years too late to the market in my opinion.

The current A3 is seven years old now :eek:

Haldex

Seriously Audi, use the proper mechanical 4WD as found in the A4 and up platforms.

[/QUOTE]

nowt wrong with haldex, worked fine in all the mk4 and mk5 golfs and equivilant a3's ive played with so dont see that it would be a problem for this a3

Faster to 60 than a 370Z, a Focus RS500 or an Aston Martin Vantage. Even almost as quick as a BMW M5! None to shabby. Almost as fast as a Ferrari 360 in the sprint too!

A nice bit of kit but a hefty pricetag and it's getting on a bit as observed.

Except although it might work well enough, the Haldex is inferior to the crown gear differential. End of.

I am mighty disappointed by this car. Mighty disappointed indeed...

It's alright, but despite being a hatchback fan there's no way i'd consider spending £40K on one, that's mad.

Saytan · 22 Nov 2010 at 21:21

clearly a quick hash-up aimed at the 1 Series M.

mast3r · 23 Nov 2010 at 10:24

nice!!!!

GravyMonster · 23 Nov 2010 at 10:29

Nice engine. Shame about the car.

Smokey26 · 23 Nov 2010 at 15:46

40k for a hatchback? and thats the basic i bet, stick all the extra's on it, and it will be closer to 50k id be willing to bet.

the TTRS engine is nice though.

Barks · 23 Nov 2010 at 21:14

I've seen quite a few Golf Rs around and if people are mad enough to pay the ridiculous price for that then I'm sure this will still sell well also.
