Audi RS3 (Sportback & Sedan) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

nikitopo · 10-31-2021, 08:05 AM

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.

Curb weight and distribution?

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.
