@@Auditography I’ve been hearing claims of 600+ bhp, but not sure how credible those numbers are. If they are legitimate, is this being achieved with a piggyback tune (JB4) and bolt-ons?
Don't really like that new diffuser but the carbon kit makes it look a lot better. Rs3 has been my dream car for as long as I can remember. Gonna get one sooner or later. Older one or new one.
Is the a follow-up video on details coming: "What they have done with the suspension, the ECU/TCU, tyres, wheels, brakes and handling, is blowing me away."?
Just got myself a 2024. Got 6K off MSRP so happy with my choice. Pros of the 2025. Rear diffuser that juts out with carbon-style trim. Really nice. Center tach, really nice. CF front slats in lower front bumper. Carbon style buckets, don't know if we'll get that in the US. Cons. The wheels are a travesty in my opinion. So many spokes you can't even see the calipers. Steering wheel obviously, and haptic buttons on steering wheel. 8Y headlights are nicer in 8Y in my opinion. The checkered flag placed in the bottom square portion of the headlight on the 8y is nicer than having that long strip of checkered flags at the top. A nice upgrade overall, but not worth the markup dealers will be asking for The first year or 2. At least here in the US
There is probably a way by a third party company, however I love the graphics on mine. Especially when you know, where the horizontal bar for the engine speed is coming from😁
@@Auditography Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry, but there's nothing stated in the description about the sound. Can you say something about the bucket seats in terms of comfort and seating position, because the guy on the autogefühl channel criticised them a lot?
How is it a mismatch when you have the exact same badge in the seats , side lists, brakes, instrument cluster and floor mats? The rear logo is a mismatch.
@@Auditography that’s good to know, so the rest of the re badging remains as the previous model however it’s just the rear badge that’s changed, I wasn’t aware of this
The new audi headlights are really a major miss imo, the front of this isnt doing it for me, but it still has nothing on the other german manufacturers in terms of design f ups.
I know, I know... the customer will have the option again in the future to choose whether he wants the badge in the front grille to scream at everyone that he drives a RS car😂 but that logo in the front that you have brought looks a bit weird on that car😅 but I guess you could have started a business with it😅
Its not about screaming rs or anything similar. It just makes the car look so much better even though its just a small piece. That Red badge always fittes so well to a black grill and red brake calipers at the side
@@skeeplays4409 Yeah i get it, but you should't have to pay more considering the stratospheric base price, and for a thing that Audi have cost cutted at the cost of customers without any culprit.
The design is not bad, but it's not as good as the model from 2017 or so. The interior is horrible. Wtf is going on over at Audi? Did they fire all their designers and replace them with people from Chevrolet and Hyundai?
What is it, that makes the design less desirable for you? I think the headlights design is a downgrade, however the front bumper looks very nice imo... I like the new steering wheel a lot in general but I think that it doesn't really fit into the 8y's cockpit and is a much better fit in the A5 and A6...
@@skeeplays4409 I have a feeling that my criticism of the design will make no sense to you. Our aesthetic tastes are polar opposites I think. For instance, you like that stupid square steering wheel.
@@Philmoscowitz nah, I actually asked because I'm interested in what bothers you about the design because I have got mixed feelings about the facelift as well...
@@Philmoscowitz but I already experienced the steering wheel in reality and can say that in the Q6 for example it looks brilliant... just not in the 8Y😅
The VAG group cost saving and ripping costumers off is on 120%🤦🤣 ... The plastic car with 100.000€ price tag Congratulations!! And not a hatter a huge Audi fan ...just angry what are the CEO's doing !! My first Audi 80 is better built than this!!!
Love the 8V-style tachometer! 🙌
Yes it's a great touch and a comeback that was needed
Moim zdaniem brzmi dobrze jak na te czasy. Poza tym świetny film jak zwykle 🔥
Can’t wait for them to unlock the ECU! 🙏
Already now, it's a track beast. Amazing handling.

@@72defender same engine and turbo as prefacelift same as 8v facelift ;) so no... boltons max 500-530hp..

@@ShahrozeSattar-o7x Yes, and TCU! 👍
Sieht optisch sehr gut aus. Wir freuen uns schon dort unsere 707PS Stufe mit TÜV zu verbauen!
Looking forward to it. Let us know so we can film it
Those bucket seats are reason alone to buy it 😍

This RS3 is the best they've ever done. It's that good.
@@Auditography I believe you for sure! Must have been a blast filming this car.
This is by far the best looking "compact" car!
It's a looker for sure. Enjoy the channel
1:29 The car's front LED lights look like sharp eyes.
FINALLY! When is it coming to North America?
June in Canada! 🤘
Soon!
@@vincebutcher9081Congrats 🇨🇦
Did they finally decide to add back the RS3 badge to the front?
In this video, I brought my own badge. But they will add it back soon. It’s official
@Auditography Will they bring back the old badge style for front and rear these new badges are not nice
@@Auditography I hope that already ordered cars will also get it then...
Why are they against longer paddle shifters? 🤷♂️
That's a very good question. Also, why this plastic? Small details, make a huge difference.
@@Auditography Agreed! I drove a C8 Corvette and it had it and would assume Audi would put them on one of their flagship cars!
Cost cuts my friend
Audi is number one in that regard, and that need to change ASAP@@72defender
It doesn't make any sense, the Golf R has much longer/sporty looking paddles. They use the same crap paddles for all the RS cars.
@@72defender Just another way to cost cuts, nothing more
They put the RS badge back on
Even thought Im driving the new S3, I still can't take my eyes off the RS3 :D
But the new S3 is an actual improvement to the pre-facelift one! Nicely chosen!
Enjoy your new S3, And hope you added that badge in the front ☺
how do you like it?
Is the a follow-up video on details coming: "What they have done with the suspension, the ECU/TCU, tyres, wheels, brakes and handling, is blowing me away."?

Any wastegate rattles in the new RS3?
How much of a difference is the in-car 0-100 timer compared to the race box timer? 0.2-0.3 seconds?
None. The difference is when the road turns.
@ so that 3.1 0-100 on the 2022 rs3 was real? Cause I feel like it would have never done a 3.1 with a race box
🤩🤩🤩
We need to get that steering wheel and those seats in the USA!
That Dacia Duster steering wheel?
@@Auditography yes, we couldn’t even get a flat bottom on the 8y in the USA
😍❤👍🏻
Do you know if there will ne a way to get the new „old 8V“ digital display on the pre-facelift? I‘d love to have this one on my 2022 model
There is probably a way by a third party company, however I love the graphics on mine. Especially when you know, where the horizontal bar for the engine speed is coming from😁
As user above said, Im sure it will be possible very soon with a aftermarket company
Are you giving it gas off the start up? If so can you do that on the 8Y as well?
The 8Y doesn’t have this function
@@Auditography It’s a cool feature I’m glad they added it
Hey, is it louder than the pre-facelift 8Y RS3?
Yes it is. As you can read in the description
@@Auditography Thanks for the reply.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing stated in the description about the sound.
Can you say something about the bucket seats in terms of comfort and seating position, because the guy on the autogefühl channel criticised them a lot?
Even if it is automatic transmission I would like to see a stick, other than that I'm looking forward for it or a BMW M2.
Yes, a manual RS3 would be a great option for the true driving enthusiasts
Adding the front badge yourself, isn't there a mismatch on fonts front to rear!??? The dynamica dash is that not on UK models???

Need Merlin Purple in the usa.
You can choose any color you want.
Audi RS 3 sedan...o meu sonho é ter um carro desse: Porque para Deus nada é impossível Lucas 1 37.
Why do they change the RS3 logo? It's looks wrong because the others are cursive.
That is a very good question. Why change something that is not broken.
The new audi headlights are really a major miss imo, the front of this isnt doing it for me, but it still has nothing on the other german manufacturers in terms of design f ups.
Yes, they should uo their headlights design game, as they always been on top

Rendez nous notre logo audi... mon dieu cest affreux!!!
It’s coming back
Again and Again that full piano black center console and the full HARD doors panels, deal breaker for this price tag shame on Audi
