Audi RS3 8Y: The Sport Compact That Pushes the Limits

Launched in 2021, the Audi RS3 8Y has become the new benchmark for premium sport compacts, available in Sportback and Sedan versions. True to Audi tradition, it features the legendary five-cylinder 2.5 TFSI turbo, producing 400 to 407 hp depending on the version and an impressive 500 Nm of torque. Thanks to quattro all-wheel drive and the 7-speed S tronic transmission, the RS3 8Y delivers top-tier performance, with 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 to 3.8 seconds and a top speed of up to 300 km/h on Performance versions.

The RS3 8Y stands out for its highly advanced chassis, notably the RS Torque Rear differential, which enables a Drift mode never before seen on a compact Audi. The RS sport suspension, oversized brakes (available in steel or ceramic), progressive steering and multiple Audi Drive Select driving modes give it handling that is as agile as it is reassuring. Visually, the RS3 8Y has a decidedly sporty look with its flared fenders, distinctive Singleframe grille and exclusive colors.

When it comes to performance tuning, the RS3 8Y is an excellent base for enthusiasts: ECU tuning, exhausts, intakes and chassis upgrades make it easy to exceed 500 hp while preserving the reliability of the legendary five-cylinder engine. Its unique engine note, cutting-edge onboard technology and versatility appeal to sporty drivers and high-end tuning enthusiasts alike. A true concentration of innovation and thrills, the RS3 8Y stands as the most desirable sport compact of its generation.
