REVEALED 2022 RS3 SPORTBACK & RS3 LIMOUSINE!

“With the third generation of the Audi RS 3 Sportback and the second generation of the
Audi RS 3 Sedan, we now offer premium sports cars that are suitable for everyday use and equally
thrilling to drive on public roads and racetracks,” says Sebastian Grams, Managing Director of
Audi Sport GmbH. “They represent the entry point into our RS world and, thanks to the torque
splitter, the ultimate in outstanding performance in the compact segment.”
With its five-cylinder, high-performance engine, the Audi RS 3 is one-of-a-kind in the segment.
The 2.5 TFSI has won the “International Engine of the Year” award nine times in a row. In the latest
generation of the compact sports car, the engine is now more powerful than ever before. The new
RS 3 models sprint from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. Their top speed is limited to
250 km/h, but 280 km/h is also available as an optional upgrade. With the RS Dynamic package
and ceramic brakes, they can even reach a top speed of 290 km/h. This makes the Audi RS 3 the
best in its class in terms of acceleration and top speed. This is primarily due to the 500 Nm increase
in torque, which is available between 2,250 and 5,600 rpm. That is equal to 20 Nm more than its
predecessor. As a result, the Audi RS 3 accelerates even faster from low rev ranges. The engine's
maximum power of 294 kW (400 PS) is available earlier than before at 5,600 rpm and extends over
a broad plateau to 7,000 rpm. A new engine control unit also increases the speed at which all of the
drive components communicate with each other.
The new Audi RS 3 is the first Audi model that comes standard-equipped with a torque splitter.
It replaces the rear axle differential and the previous multiple disc clutch package on the rear axle.
Instead, an electronically controlled multiple disc clutch is used on each of the drive shafts. This
ensures that the right amount of torque is optimally distributed along the rear axle. During more
dynamic driving, the torque splitter increases the drive torque to the respective outer rear wheel
with the higher wheel load, which significantly reduces the tendency to understeer. In left-hand
curves, it transmits the drive torque to the right rear wheel, in right-hand curves to the left rear
wheel, and when driving straight ahead to both wheels.
The new technology also makes controlled drifts on closed-off tracks possible - in this case, the
torque splitter directs all of the power to only one of the rear wheels, with up to 1,750 newton
meters per wheel possible. Audi even developed a driving mode specifically for the RS 3 for this
purpose - “RS Torque Rear” - as a drift mode with its own characteristic curve for the torque
splitter. The RS Performance mode, created specifically for the racetrack, is another never-beforeseen
innovation. It uses a specific engine and transmission configuration and is precisely tailored to
the semi-slick tires that are, for the very first time, available for the RS 3 as a factory option. In this
case, the torque splitter delivers a particularly dynamic, sporty ride along the longitudinal axis with
as little understeer and oversteer as possible. These modes can be selected via the Audi drive select
driving dynamics system, which also offers the following profiles: comfort, auto, dynamic,
RS Individual, and efficiency.
The Audi RS 3 Sportback and RS 3 Sedan will be available to order in Europe starting in
mid-August 2021. The new RS 3 models will be launched in the fall of this year. The base price
for the RS 3 Sportback is set at 60,000 euros, while the RS 3 Sedan is listed at 62,000 euros.

Old one looks a lot better, what is going on with the A3 range? They need to bring in new S1 or RS1 cause New A1's look good.
