Audi is bidding farewell to its iconic 5-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with a new limited edition RS3. The RS3 Competition Limited will be available in Sportback and saloon body styles. Only 750 units will be built with prices starting at around $121,000.
The RS3 Competition Limited features a sporty body kit which comprises an aggressive-looking front bumper with large vents and dive planes, side skirts and a rear diffuser with dual exhausts. It has a low-set singleframe grille, vents behind the front fenders, a roof spoiler and 19-inch alloy wheels finished in Neodymium gold.
Inside, the limited edition RS3 gets black Nappa leather upholstery with Neodymium gold stitching and Dynamica inserts. The car comes with RS bucket seats and matte carbon fibre trim. The sporty steering wheel is wrapped in Alcantara.
Under the bonnet is Audi’s 2.5-liter inline 5-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that produces 388 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Audi claims a 0-62 mph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph.
The RS3 Competition Limited has all-wheel drive with a torque-vectoring rear differential. It is equipped with an RS Sports exhaust and a set of new manually adjustable coilover suspension instead of the adjustable dampers offered on the standard car.
