The latest Audi RS range is to be extended with the RS 3, that comes bristling with technology and power for maximum fun. Along with a 0 to 100 of3.8 seconds, RS 3 has a top speed of 290 km/h top speed, RS Torque Splitter, semi slicks, and specific RS driving modes.
Undeterred, we head through the abandoned airport to the car park, and a line of stunning top-notch Audis. Coupes and fastbacks nestle beside SUVs, in a carefully curated vignette. I scored an RS Q8 for the 2-hour drive to Phillip Island, and our overnight digs. It would be churlish to miss a chance to comment on the perfect road manners of a car north of a hundred grand.

2020 Audi RS Q3: Very Loud and Proud We’ve driven the regular Q3, and we liked it a lot. Why would someone buy an RS over a regular Q then? RS takes Q3, and dials the fabulous to stratospheric.
