The 2022 Audi RS 3 is the high-performance version of the Audi A3, and comes loaded with everything the RS badge has to offer and more.

A 0-100kmph sprint in 3.8 seconds, and a top speed of 290kmph sets the 2022 Audi RS 3 apart from the rest of the lot. Revealed for the European market, the 2022 Audi RS 3 is the high-performance version of the Audi A3, and comes loaded with everything the RS badge has to offer and more. The new RS 3 now gets a new torque splitter, a first for Audi, which ensures the right amount of torque is optimally distributed along the rear axle and also makes controlled drifts possible. Additionally, the Audi RS 3 also features newly developed shock absorbers for a better ride, as well as newly developed six-piston steel brakes. The design of the new Audi RS 3 is more dynamic and powerful than that of its predecessor. In the front, the wide RS bumper, the redesigned single frame with its distinctive honeycomb grille, and the large air intakes give the compact sports car an expressive appearance. The RS 3 comes standard-equipped with flat, wedge-shaped LED headlights and LED taillights including dynamic turn signal lights. There is also a new design element behind the front wheel arches. The rocker panels with black trim have also been redesigned and, in combination with the flared wheel arches, contribute to the expressive look of the new RS 3. The front axle track has been widened by 33mm compared to the previous model. The RS 3 is standard-equipped with 19-inch cast wheels in a 10-Y spoke design. Audi will also mount Pirelli P Zero “Trofeo R” performance semi-slick tires for the first time. The motorsports-inspired finishing touches include the redesigned RS-specific rear bumper with integrated diffuser and the RS exhaust system with two large oval tailpipes.
