You have the choice actually! There are a view options to display your rev counter. When it comes to Visualisation of the infotainment and customisation of the instrument cluster Audi is king.
@@skeeplays4409 I haven't been in one, but aren't the different screens depending on the chosen driving mode or you can pick one regardless ? I've seen a few RS cars with this speedo.
@@mnoovurvi both... if you want to, ur screen can change as soon as you are going into RS mode. But you got a few options on the layout that is shown then. Besides of that you even have different options on the "normal" graphics. But tbh. he has chosen the worst setting during that video😂
I hope that you get another chance in an RS3 8Y with the Pirelli Trofeo R's, carbon ceramics and maybe in the dynamic mode to let the rear break out a little more, to extract all the potential. Loved this video.
The radio was only traffic information, they send a special signal which you can set the radio to interpret and interrupt your normal music for, when you want to hear about traffic jams etc.
I really should get my car 100% so I can maybe also convince Misha to do a lap with me once. He's got a lot better choices, but who knows :) I really put him way up there, as far as driving is concerned - very rarely, only with well known pro drivers like Walter or Marc (Basseng), do I get the impression of someone driving as smoothly while also insanely fast.

Today i saw GT-2 RS MR in my home town of Belgrade - Serbia O.o Whats weird is it was Serbian registered car. We are a very poor country, with one of the worst roads in Europe, even gumball 3000 was avoiding us after so many people broke their cars on our roads. Ofc, the driver drove it like he stole it, full throttle in narrow city center street, with 50m before the speed bump and OFC, he scraped the front splitter😣😖 . Spec was exactly the same as yours-apex.
You know what, I actually really liked how you recorded the intro after you already went for a lap and therefore gave a bit of your thoughts on it before we get to see the lap!
Oh that classic angry growl of an I-5 Audi. Music to one's ears. Now I miss my 1990 200 quattro. Couldn't kill that engine even when boost was increased.
Good lap, but this car shows the reasons why quite a lot of people are looking at older cars instead of new ones. Too many "safety features" causing more problems than they solve.

The Audi Pre Sense needs to calm down. 😂
The rev counter goes the wrong way too IMO.
Indeed🤣
Stick a piece of paper over the display and mute the volume. sorted .
Audi has a lot to learn to compete in F1 😂😂😂
Correct on both counts 😂
Seriously if you' re in track/performance mode pre-sense should be automatically turned off *cough hint hint audi wink wink*
The owner chose a fantastic colour 👍
They look good in white too, I seen one last week here in Perth oz
I chose the same color and ceramic brakes, in 3 months the "beast" will arrive
The new yellow/lime colour is also superb

Audi pre sense automatically brakes hard when it detects collision. Can disable in settings.
With regards to the neutral handling there's "RS Torque Rear" which will give you more rear bias and oversteer
Don't think you want that mode on the Nordschleife tbh
@@enfantterrible4868 Agree it's not for public roads
Better set it to Dynamic, that's enough if you only want to break out the rear slightly

Nice drive, nice car, generous owner for letting you drive a pretty new car, but what a stupid rev counter.
The lap seemed very underwhelming but i suppose it's down to lack of sound probably.
Canada won't let us have the RS3 due to emissions -_-

Being a road tester myself!don’t you feel the suspensions is a little soft…Compared to an TTRS which is much more confidence inspired.
It's soft'ish, yes. But I just drove the G42 M240 before that which is a direct competitor and that was muuuuuuch softer.
With the adaptive suspension you can reduce / change this but I guess it's better to keep the "balanced" mode for the Nürburgring
needs better tires imo
My RS3 came with P Zeros, which were shit. I put Michelin PS4's on mine, makes a big difference.
The sound is a little annoying in the inside I feel like… very monotone
love this car
Wats the red warning tat pop out around 5:40-5:45

Thx Misha…happiness since I am also an Audi Fan

I have Cupra 280 ST and never had more than 110 in hottest days behind the cars. On track this is diffefent story :) 120-130 after 2laps on 5km track.
