The last of the legendary five-cylinders — a sound like nothing else.

The Audi RS3 is one of the final cars to carry the cult 2.5-litre five-cylinder — an engine that won Engine of the Year in its class nine years running. Its unmistakable warble comes from an unusual firing order, and you'll recognise it with your eyes closed.

400 hp and 500 Nm reach the road through quattro all-wheel drive and a lightning-fast 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox — 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. The heart of the experience is the RS Torque Splitter, which can send almost all of the torque to a single rear wheel. The RS3 suddenly behaves like a rear-wheel-drive car through corners — and even offers a dedicated drift mode.

Compact dimensions, supercar pace and a sound that will never be built again. The RS3 is a car for those who feel the drive, not just steer it.
