 The Audi RS 3
Sportback:
built on our
racing heritage
In the world of Audi motorsport, there are
few things more evocative than the letters RS.
Over the years, our RS models have provided
a showcase for some of our most advanced
technologies and pioneering designs –
and the Audi RS 3 Sportback is no different.

With its 5-cylinder 2.5-litre turbocharged

engine and 7-speed S tronic® transmission,
it’s capable of 0-62mph in just 4.6 seconds
and produces a remarkable 340PS of power.
It also has the latest version of our quattro®
all-wheel-drive system, delivering outstanding
handling and performance in all conditions.
And with features including 19-inch alloy
wheels, RS exterior body styling and flared
front wheel arches made from lightweight
carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, the RS 3 has
looks to match all the racing prowess its
name suggests.

 Engine
2.5 TFSI® engine
The five-cylinder engine combines a turbocharger with FSI®
direct petrol injection, confirming the status of the Audi RS 3
Sportback as a high-performance sports hatchback. The 2.5-litre
TFSI® engine is ultra-compact. Just 49 centimetres in length,
and weighing 183 kilograms, it’s perfectly suited for transverse
installation in the Audi RS 3 Sportback. The crankcase is made
of vermicular-graphite cast iron and this high-tech material is
both strong and lightweight. Perfectly placed reinforcements
enhance the block’s loading, while the cylinder head, pistons,
and connecting rods are also lightweight yet extremely strong.

Transmission
and brakes­­
The Audi RS 3 Sportback offers a fast-shifting S tronic®
transmission for smooth, efficient acceleration and a
high-performance braking system to ensure this car
stops as well as it goes.

S tronic®
Driving is all about thinking ahead, which is just what the
S tronic® dual-clutch transmission does. It works almost as
two separate systems, one engaging the odd-numbered and
the other the even-numbered gears. So when you’re accelerating
in second, it has third gear waiting for you. And once you make
the switch, it’s already thinking about fourth. With two clutches
working together, you can change gears almost instantly while
experiencing smooth, uninterrupted power.

High-performance braking system

We created the high-performance braking system in
the Audi RS 3 Sportback with safety and control in mind.
It features four-piston brake callipers painted in black with
the RS logo on the front axle, as well as ventilated brake discs
(370mm in diameter) at the front, drilled and designed using
composite materials. All these features help the system to
provide excellent braking performance even when the car’s
carrying a heavy load.

9
 quattro®
It’s the technology that has given Audi the
edge on the rally circuit ever since it was first
introduced 30 years ago – a technology that
delivers ultimate control whilst enhancing
the sporty characteristics which make the
Audi RS 3 Sportback so thrilling to drive.
It’s called quattro® all-wheel-drive. The
principle is simple: in the same way that
four brakes ensure better deceleration,
four driven wheels deliver better acceleration
and road-holding, pushing or pulling the car
as needed, for a driving experience that’s
both dynamic and safe.

10 Images are for illustrative purposes only

In the Audi RS 3 Sportback, asymmetric
dynamic torque distribution continuously
distributes drive power between the front
and rear axles, depending on weather
conditions, road surface and gradient.
This leads to greater flexibility and an
enhanced, sportier drive.
