According to a recent report, Michael Dick, a member of Audi´s board of management for technical development has stated that the company is considering building a new RS3 – and here’s the pictures that prove: the car is in fact rolling.
We snapped a prototype of Audi’s future pocket-rocket testing at the Nürburgring today. Power will come from Audi's 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbocharged engine, with 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, which has launched on the recently unveiled TT-RS. Considering that the proposed RS3 would probably weigh about as much as the TT-RS, a 0-100 km/h time of around 4.6 seconds sounds reasonable as does the suggested 288 km/h top speed.
