Audi RS3 Sportback
They’ve announced it back in November, and now they’ve brought to Geneva. We are talking about Audi’s new RS3 Sportback model. Designed to be the latest edition of the current A3 platform, this high-performance variant comes with a very aggressive front fascia, matt aluminum accents and an anthracite grille.

On the side, you’ll notice the new aerodynamic skirts while in the back it has an imposing dual exhaust system. The new Audi RS3 Sportback rolls on 19-inch alloy rims, designed in order to emphasize the car’s sporty breed.

The highlight of this car is without any doubt its engine, a 5-cylinder turbocharged 2.5-liter that cranks out 335 hp (340 PS / 250 kW) and 332 lb.-ft (450 Nm) of torque. This power unit is mated to a 7-speed S-Tronic gearbox, allowing the car to do the 0-60 mph sprint in only 4.6 seconds, onto an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

The new RS3 benefits from a quattro all-wheel drive system, a sport suspension that lowers the car by about 25 mm and they’ve also fitted it with a high performance brake system with ventilated discs, measuring 370 mm in the front and 310 mm in the back.
