Audi RS3 Sportback quattro 2018
Audi RS3 Sportback quattro 2.5 TFSI S tronic
In an effort to remain at the pointy end of the hot hatch horsepower pyramid, both Audi and Mercedes-Benz have been locked in an intense battle of numbers for more than half a decade. First, the Audi RS3 took the honour of being the most powerful hot hatchback when it was launched back in 2011, only for it to be edged out by the monstrous 355bhp Mercedes-AMG A45 just two years later but Audi 2018 returned with 400 hp.

The Audi RS3 stands out visually, too, thanks to a new front fascia with a “quattro” logo below the lower grille, and a pair of oval-shaped exhausts protruding from under the rear bumper. Compared to the standard car, the RS3 is widened by 20 millimeters (0.8 inch) in front, to fit the new wheels and stronger, wider front wheel hubs. Add to that standard LED taillights, a trunk spoiler, and new wheel designs, and it has a fair bit more visual punch than a regular S3.
Where the RS3 stands out in a bigger sense is on the public roads near the track. In part because it’s riding on 19-inch wheels instead of the optional 20s With the adaptive suspension set to its comfort mode, generous damping soaks up impacts without trouble.
The car is still huge fun, of course, when you dial everything up to Dynamic mode and start to link together tight turns, but it can also be extremely civilized. To that end, the cabin is quiet, with engine noise only really intruding as I lay into the throttle. That noise, by the way, is all natural from the intake and exhaust; there’s no artificial sound trickery in this car.
For all the fun on offer, the RS3 is still a practical car, with a reasonably roomy back seat, a generously sized trunk, and of course, all-wheel drive as standard for driving in inclement wThe RS3 also squares up against the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 and BMW M2 in terms of pricing and power. The Audi is far less frenetic than the CLA, but perhaps ultimately less involving (no manual is offered, after all) than the BMW. It may, however, be the most well-rounded choice, able to do fast and friendly all in one package.
That breadth of capability is where the RS3 shines. Driven normally, this car can be almost as pleasant and as sedate as any other Audi A3, yet it still packs all the walloping punch you expect from something with an RS badge on the trunk. Take it anywhere, from a race track to the suburbs, and you’ll have a great time behind the wheel.eather.
