The latest Audi RS 3 giant-slaying hyper hatch can sprint from 0–62mph in 3.8 seconds and has claimed the Nurburgring lap record for compact cars.
The new Audi RS 3 is on sale in the UK now priced from £50,900 for the hatchback and £51,900 for the saloon. First deliveries are expected to arrive in November.
Designed to rival the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S, the Audi RS 3 is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder petrol engine, which produces 395bhp and 500Nm of torque.
Power goes to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and a clever torque-splitting rear differential – and Audi says the hatchback can get from 0–62mph in just 3.8 seconds before running into its electronic speed limiter at 155mph.
Audi has separated the RS 3 line-up into four trim-levels. The cheapest model comes as standard with 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and cruise control.

Inside, buyers get dual-zone climate control, heated Nappa leather sports seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
Above the base-model, there’s the RS 3 Carbon Black. It’s priced from £55,550 and adds matte black 19-inch alloy wheels, tinted Matrix LED headlamps, a gloss black front splitter and a carbon fibre finish for the mirror caps, rear spoiler, side skirts and engine cover.
Audi has also created a limited-run RS 3 Launch Edition, of which just 96 examples will be sold in the UK. Priced from £56,900, each comes with adaptive suspension, a sports exhaust system, a panoramic glass sunroof and red brake calipers.
The cabin gets electric front seats, a premium Bang & Olufsen stereo system, a head-up display, a hidden wireless smartphone charger and gloss black trim for the dashboard. Audi has also raised the car’s top speed limiter to 174mph.
The range-topping Audi RS 3 Vorsprung is priced from £58,650. Upgrades include black 19-inch alloy wheels, an electrically operated tailgate and a 360-degree parking camera. All of these trims are available on the RS 3 Saloon, which is priced at £1,000 more spec-for-spec.
