Audi RS3 keeps the 5-pot power plant, now with 294kw/500Nm. The little Audi has plenty of bite to go with the bark, and a 0-100 of 3.8 seconds to prove it.

Apart from the new looks, there is a fancy adaptive suspension setup replacing the magnetic ride of old. RS Torque Rear Mode allows a spot of drifting when the mood takes you. Drive modes take care of life the rest of the time.

The look remains unmistakably Audi.

Matrix LED headlights with its pixel field of 3 x 5 LED segments, it provides an unmistakable look – when the vehicle is opened, the RS 3 lettering appears on the driver’s side and a chequered flag appears in the pixel field of the other headlight, creating a dynamic scene. When driving, the chequered flag lights up on both sides.

19” wheels finish off the motorsport look.

ABOVE: All New Audi RS3 Sedan and Sportback

Inside Audi RS3 is an HUD, 12.3” driver’s display, and 10.1” feature across a new dash. Carbon fibre trim on the instrument panel, and nappe leather sports seats give the cabin an expensive look and feel.

In fact, there is around $10,000 worth of additional equipment over the old model.

Highlights see metallic or pearl effect paint, electronically opening and closing boot (Sportback), as well as heated, folding and dimming exterior mirrors with memory. Inside, wireless Apple CarPlay is a welcome addition, as is the Head-up display. Electric front seats with 4-way lumbar support and memory function ensure comfort matches the driving scenario at all times, while colour ambient lighting provides a sophisticated cabin character. The folding rear seat backrest (40:20:40) ensures that the new RS 3 is as fit for domestic duties as it is for the racetrack.

There is more safety too.

RS3 now has exit warning with rear cross traffic alert, and Audi pre sense basic which includes seat belt pre-tensioning, window and sunroof closure in emergency situations. Audi park assist and 360 degree cameras navigate the urban jungle with aplomb.

Warranty for rust is 12 years, with a range of other packages for services and options.

Price:

RS3 Sportback $91,391

RS3 Sedan $93,891
