1 TRIM ABOUT THE AUDI RS 3
Audi RS 3 at a glance
The Audi RS 3 is the highest-performance member of the A3 sedan family and one of the few new cars still powered by a turbocharged five-cylinder engine. Its 394-hp 2.5-liter engine, seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and RS torque-splitter quattro system give the 2026 model a claimed 3.6-second 0–60 mph time. The RS 3 is compact enough for daily use, but its engine layout and rear-axle hardware make it a distinct model rather than simply a more powerful S3.
