Saw a black one of these at the filling station on trade plates the other day, not far from the Audi dealership.
Some smart dressed girlie driving it, she gave it some beans away from the pumps though...it was definitely throbbing.

The five pot didn't sound bad either...that was throbbing too. :smiley:

Love it!! Best Audi 5 pot choice IMO.

Am I right in thinking it's only available in 2 cars though, this and the TTRS?

Wayne, you're obviously well placed to provide a direct comparison between the RS3 and the S3. What would you say the biggest differences are? I'm guessing the premium over the S3 is around £15k - £20k?

I was told buy the column writer of Audi Driver Magaizine at the Audi Track day last weekend that he's been told this engine will feature in several other Audi cars but not as RS models, the engine would be offered as the premium engine in the range.

Engine and Gearbox, the 7 speed S tronic is so smooth and the engine just wants to go.. :laugh: Premuim is about £10K difference but when you start loading both up with options you add another £5-6K very easily :stupid: Oh and the additional 2 doors on the sportback. :smiley:

I have the 7 speed too and it is so much different to the 6 speed I had previously.

lovely car but let down by the interior for the money imo optional recaros should be standard in RS models and whole cabin needs more "sports" theme
