Audi RS3

Amazing engine gets stay of execution

Rejoice! Audi’s quest for ultimate power in its hottest A3 means the fruity sounding 2.5-litre five-cylinder lives to fight another day. The rest is e ectively set in stone already; gaping grille, sharp-edged bodykit, fat oval exhausts, an infallible quattro system and acceleration like jumping into hyperspace. All with an astronomical price. We’ll stop with the space puns now.
