Performance
Raw power, refined.
Not only is the 2.5 TFSI quattro engine capable of 0- 62mph in 4.1 seconds, it also has a truly unique sound. In addition, we’ve incorporated RS Sport suspension, Audi Drive Select that tailors your ride, and quattro all-wheel drive that provides enhanced grip. They all combine for an impressive ride.
Not just a slogan. A philosophy.
Progress. It's behind everything we do at Audi. It's why, in the new Audi RS 3, we've incorporated new technologies to help you on the road and engines to deliver impressive performance.
The Audi RS 3 is the embodiment of our forward-thinking approach.
Built for performance.
The newly developed, 5-cylinder, dual-injection 2.5 TFSI engine in the RS 3 descends from our legendary rally cars. With its 5-cylinder design, it's extremely responsive – offering 400PS of power and 480 Nm of torque. It's what enables the RS 3 to sprint to speeds of 62mph in 4.1 seconds on its way to an optionally enhanced top speed of 174mph.*
quattro
Driving confidence, whatever the weather.
Loose gravel. Icy patches. A tight bend in the rain. Conditions on the road are always changing, so quattro changes too. Standard on RS 3, it analyses your grip – automatically distributing power between all four wheels to where it's needed most. It's made for the most challenging conditions of all – the ones you encounter every day. So whatever the road holds, you can be confident that quattro will react.
Illuminating features.
The Audi RS 3's optional Matrix LED headlights produce a light similar in colour to daylight. They also incorporate sensors and an inbuilt camera that detects other road users, as well as ambient light in built-up areas. They then react by dipping individual LEDs to reduce the risk of dazzling other road users, while still fully illuminating the remainder of the road.
Where available, Matrix LED technology will even use the vehicle's navigation data to anticipate corners, adjusting LEDs as you negotiate the bend. The result is a much wider visual range, benefitting both you and other road users. Dynamic sweeping indicators complete the striking look at the front and rear.

Choose the 'classic' view, with prominent speedometer and rev counter, or the 'infotainment' view, which brings functions such as the navigation map or media to the fore - with crisp 3D graphics and highly detailed effects. There's also a special RS screen that shows a central rev counter and allows you to customise the dials surrounding it, to show information like torque and power.

Your finance
Get your finance quote in seconds.
Simply go to www.audi.co.uk and enter a few details to see the monthly payments you could be making on a new Audi RS 3. Below we’ve outlined some of the different options available – you just need to choose your annual mileage and length of term, then pay an initial deposit that could be as little as one monthly payment.*
Solutions Personal Contract Plan
A flexible finance plan designed to give you a number of options, making it ideal if you want to change your car more regularly. At the end of the agreement, you have three choices:
- Exchange the car for a new Audi.
- Pay the option to purchase fee and optional final payment, then take full ownership of the car.
- Simply return the car to Audi (fees may be payable).
Hire Purchase
If you know you'd like to keep your Audi, Hire Purchase could be right for you. And as you're making your payments with a view to owning the car, there's no restriction on how far you can drive each year.
Contract Hire
If you don't want to own your Audi, Contract Hire could be a great option. You can add a service, maintenance and tyres plan and, for VAT-registered businesses, an element of the VAT on rentals may be recoverable. You simply need to commit to a regular monthly payment and hand your car back at the end of your agreement (subject to our return standards).
Online Finance Calculator
Use our online Finance Calculator to get a personalised quote that suits you. Simply visit the Finance and Offers section on www.audi.co.uk and you can choose between our Solutions Personal Contract Plan and Contract Hire calculators to see what you can expect to pay for your new Audi.

Audi Connect Terms and Conditions
The Audi Connect Online Services ("Connect Services") are provided by Audi AG, and are included as standard in certain models within the Audi range of vehicles and are also available within some optional packs, such as the Audi Technology Pack. Audi AG is a company within our corporate group.
The Connect Services include:
Audi Connect Infotainment Services ("Infotainment Services").
Some services require additional activation steps. In order to enjoy these services, customers must register, accept the terms and conditions and follow the activation steps instructed on myAudi (please visit https://login.audi.com).
Some services also require the download of the Audi MMI app on a compatible phone or tablet (always check latest phone and software compatibility).
Whilst correct at the time of publication, the content and scope of the Connect Services offered may vary from time to time. Features vary by model. Audi AG may add, change, replace or remove individual services or features at any time during your subscription for the Connect Services.
Enhancements in vehicle technology, information technology and web-based services sometimes require the Connect Services to be adapted and enhanced in line with new forms of technology or changes in user behaviour. In this context, Audi AG reserves the right at any time to enhance, reduce or change the functional scope of the Connect Services in a manner that it considers is reasonable for the customer. For full details of the specific Connect Services on your vehicle, together with complete and up-to-date terms and conditions for those Connect Services, please visit www.audi.co.uk/connectterms
Audi Connect Infotainment Services
Audi Connect Online Infotainment Services ("Infotainment Services") are provided via a SIM card embedded in the vehicle. The Infotainment Services enable access to certain search, social media and other online services provided by third parties. Features vary by model. Permanent availability cannot be guaranteed as this is the responsibility of the relevant third party provider.
Infotainment Services are available only within the range of the selected mobile phone network operated by Audi AG's chosen mobile phone provider (which may change from time to time) and where there is mobile reception, including an active data connection.
Data is unlimited. There are no additional charges for data roaming within the EU (although availability of these services is limited to certain countries). You will not, however, be able to use the embedded SIM to provide Wi-Fi hotspot services or to tether any other device to the embedded SIM. Should you wish to create a Wi-Fi hotspot we recommend you purchase Wi-Fi data packs via myAudi (https://login.audi.com). Any Wi-Fi data packs purchased via myAudi will remain with the vehicle upon sale of the vehicle and no refunds will be provided.
Important information
If you insert an external SIM card into the card slot (e.g. so as to enable Wi-Fi hotspot services), then all Infotainment Services data connections will be made via this SIM card (and not the Audi embedded SIM card) and all related data costs incurred may be charged to the customer by the provider of the plan associated with the external SIM card. You may not use the Connect Services and the embedded SIM for any purpose other than the provision or receipt of services in accordance with these terms.
For vehicles which have hazard alert and traffic sign information features, the vehicle sensors will be transmitting information to Audi AG. This information includes, but is not limited to, vehicle location, speed signs, areas where a risk of skidding, breakdown, accident and/or reduced visibility has been identified. The data is transmitted to Audi AG and shared with other Audi vehicles with hazard alert and traffic sign information features. The data is transmitted anonymously and does not identify an individual vehicle. Such data is only held for the purpose of warning drivers of potential road hazards and change of speed signs.
The subscription is activated from the point of vehicle registration. Should you wish to continue to use the Connect Services after your subscription expires, please consult your local Audi Centre for details (including the latest subscription fees). Charges will apply upon renewal.
MMI Navigation Plus – online map updates and myAudi Special Destinations
