Vorsprung durch Technik
Three words that express the very essence of Audi. Vorsprung durch Technik
isn’t a slogan. It’s our way of seeing the world. It is the driving force behind
our history of innovation that continues into the 21st century. Indeed,
many technologies that Audi pioneered remain in our cars today. Some are
milestones in the history of the motorcar. From our beginnings in 1899, to the
Auto Union team’s Grand Prix successes in the 1930s and our more recent wins
at Le Mans, we have always been at the forefront of the motor industry.
Vorsprung durch Technik makes us who we are. To see more of its influence,
just read on.

The new Audi RS 3 Sportback.
Astonishing in every sense.
Performance. Style. The hallmarks of RS come to life once again in the new Audi
RS 3 Sportback.
The award-winning 2.5-litre TFSI, 5-cylinder engine makes that same,
unmistakable sound. But with 367PS, it now packs more of a punch, with
acceleration from 0-62mph in a mere 4.3 seconds.
Its presence is unmistakably RS, too. Rotor design 19” alloy wheels housed within
flared wheel arches. Twin oval tailpipes. A sporty interior to match. All combining
to give the RS 3 Sportback a look that’s just as powerful.

Innovation, technology,
performance.
Blistering performance married with advanced driving technologies:
these are the characteristics that put RS models firmly at the top
of the Audi range.
Audi models with the RS badge – an abbreviation of the German
Rennsport, directly translated as ‘Racing Sport’ – are designed,
developed and built at our special high-performance subsidiary,
quattro GmbH.
It's their specialist knowledge that makes it possible to create more
powerful engines. And specially-tuned suspension for enhanced
control at speed. And quattro all-wheel-drive with RS 3 Sportback
specific set up, which allows more torque to be directed to the rear
axle when appropiate for a more dynamic drive.
The result is a car that's designed to set your driving experience
apart. And your pulse racing.

Daylight comes as standard.
For the first time, the Audi RS 3 Sportback comes with LED headlights as standard. With a
continuous beam of light ranged in the colour spectrum that’s close to daylight, LED technology
lights the road ahead with unprecedented clarity.
With their sleek and subtle design, the LED headlights complement the appearance of your
RS 3 Sportback. And with LED rear and brake lights also as standard, the striking look is
complete. It’s just one of the ways we’ve improved safety while still saving on energy.
11
Variable quattro. Continuous control.
Our legendary all-wheel-drive system isn’t just designed for tricky road surfaces.
It’s there to give you more traction, grip and driving enjoyment.
Depending on your driving style and the road friction it detects, quattro distributes
power automatically between all four wheels, giving you grip just when you need it.
You can also choose how power is distributed. For sure-footed cornering, choose
dynamic mode in Audi drive select and switch the ESC Electronic Stabilisation Control
to sports setting. Between 50% and 100% of available torque is then sent to the rear
wheels faster, for more direct turn in.

Improved traction, better grip, more driving fun. Welcome to quattro in the new
RS 3 Sportback.

Accelerate quicker.
At the heart of the new RS 3 Sportback beats Audi’s most powerful production inline
five-cylinder engine yet. An award winning, 2.5-litre TFSI engine at that, with the genes
of the Audi quattro legends from the 1980s in its DNA. Producing 376PS with 465Nm
of torque and propelling you from 0-62mph in a breathtaking 4.3 seconds.
Characterised not just by its speed, but also its distinctive sound, the RS 3 Sportback features
two flaps in its tail pipes that control the exhaust flow, adding to the trademark, bass-heavy
rumble of the engine. And, as an option, the exhaust system can be upgraded to a sports
exhaust system to produce an even richer sound.
Slow down faster.
A car with the performance of the RS 3 Sportback demands brakes that are just as powerful.
The RS braking system, with 19” performance brakes, comes as standard. High-gloss black
calipers sporting the RS logo grip each of the wave-design brake discs, perforated for
maximum heat dissipation.

Stunning throughout.
Inside the RS 3 Sportback, you’ll find a cabin as dramatic as
its performance.
As you sit in the Fine Nappa leather RS Sports seats, you’ll notice
features that echo the car’s sports credentials. The flat-bottomed,
leather RS multi-function steering wheel with Alcantara trim.
The black, RS-badged instrument cluster. And aluminium pedals.
All fitted as standard.
To complete the look, options include Aluminium Race inlays.
RS Super Sports seats with diamond quilting and perforated
contrast stitching are also available. As is an RS design package,
with red accents on seat belts, kneepads and air vents.
