Here is the new RS3, the “small” racing car by Audi

by admin

ROME – It all started with the first generation of the Audi S3, the model that brought – thanks to the appreciable synthesis of power, reliability, practicality and style – the concept of high-performance hatchback into the sphere of luxury.
A quarter of a century after its inception and ten years after the introduction of the even sharper and more aggressive RS3 developed by skilled Audi Sport technicians, testers and engineers, the German manufacturer has unveiled the latest version of its famous compact with quattro all-wheel drive. in terms of technology and performance, it promises to once again position itself at the top of the segment (that of premium compact cars) it has helped to create.

The marketing will begin in August and the arrival on the road is expected during the autumn. The salient features are many in that in addition to the inordinate power – 400 horsepower and 500nm of torque from the 2.5 Tfsi turbo petrol engine – the RS3 offers a vast and refined selection of avant-garde and particularly sophisticated contents. The body variants are five-door or three-volume and the quantum leap of both, should primarily affect reactions, handling and driveability.
The RS3 is in fact the first Audi car equipped with an electronic rear torque splitter (a highly evolved torque divider) which, by sending the exact amount of power needed to the wheels, helps to increase cornering precision and reduce understeer. The engagement of the RS Torque Splitter is also accompanied by record numbers for the category as the RS3 declares a time of 3.8 seconds in the 0-100 and a maximum speed – opting for the Dynamic package with carbon ceramic brakes – of 290 per hour. According to the explanations of the technicians, the 500nm torque delivered by the five-cylinder engine will be very linear so as to ensure a decisive and uniform thrust in the 2200-5600 rpm range.

From the spectacular – and enduring – oversteer immortalized in the launch video of the model, it is also clear how the latest generation of RS3 recognizable by numerous details between racing and design and by the Kyalami green colors inspired by the South African circuit, has paid great attention to the fun of ‘user. The choice is punctually reflected in the two driving modes for the track and one of them was created specifically to favor the art of controlled drift. Pure music for the ears of enthusiasts especially since in the philosophy of continuous improvement perpetrated by Audi Sport, the RS3 includes among its performance assets also launch control, adaptive suspension, dual-clutch gearbox and the modular vehicle dynamics controller where the electronics analyzes the load and extent of lateral support, intervening on the shock absorbers and sending the torque to increase agility and speed of responses.
The RS3 novelties are also supported by the successful stage presence and design features aimed at satisfying as many situations as possible at the wheel. The driving modes therefore reflect the model’s innate versatility, ranging from Efficiency to Dynamic (more comfort and auto) to which are added three RS profiles (Indivdual, Performance, Torque Rear). Each mapping is set up to significantly modify the dynamic properties and attitude of the RS3 which, among the various circuit tricks, also allows you to completely deactivate the Esc. The set of clues offered, let us understand how the RS3 driving experience points above all to arouse emotions and driving pleasure with the possibility of challenging – in acceleration as on mountain roads – any other sports car without giving up on that. special golden formula between habitability, comfort and speed, in practical and manageable dimensions.
