Audi launched its first ever fire-breathing RS3 hot hatch in Australia in 2015, taking the donor A3 platform to new levels of performance – and creating the cheapest RS in Audi’s high performance line to date.
The 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine and the all-wheel drivetrain give the RS3 a potent performance edge, while the company itself likes to tout its five-door, five-seat hatchback credentials as the basis of a truly everyday sports car. Current prices range from $95,715 for the RS3 2.5 Tfsi S Tronic to $98,215 for the RS3 2.5 Tfsi S Tronic - all of which come with a seven-speed dual-clutch auto as standard.
