Audi RS3 (Sportback & Sedan)
 
The worldwide presentation of the new Audi RS3 was done last week. The car was presented in Greece in mount Pentelikon and in Grammatiko. I live close to this mountain and I visit often to have fun with the BRZ ;)

You can enjoy Audi's official video and some nice scenery photos below. Red car is the Sportback and Green (or Yellow) car is the Sedan.

This is very good review:

Finally they made something that resembles an EVO handling wise. Although it's quite pricey, but should be very fun to drive.
That "Drift Mode" though.. a proper AWD system should be able to rotate on throttle by default, you shouldn't set it to a specific mode to be able to do that. Like EVOs do. However, I think that this RS3 can rotate on throttle in other modes as well, like the "Track Mode" or whatever they called it.

He mentioned at the end that the Golf R also gets the rear torque splitter now and it is cheaper, but it doesn't have the 5-cylinder engine and probably RS3's sweet handling.

Looks good. This could be a good and fun car for up north areas.

Last one looked better.

No manual.

No sportback option for US.
