AUDI RS3
* It is the Audi A3 more powerful with an engine of 2,5 liters and 350 horses
* It accelerates from 0 to 100 in 4,6 seconds and achieves 250 km/h of maxim
* In Germany it will have a price for 49.900 euros

With the new one RS3, which Audi will throw in the first months of 2011, the signature of Ingested wants to put the morels cherry to the current one A3, model that will be replaced by the third generation in 2012.

The Audi RS3 is the most sports version of the scale A3, which GmbH has been developed for Quattro.

In contrast to the current one S3, which is available with the bodywork of three and five doors, the future RS3 only will be commercialized in the version Sportback, that is to say with five doors.

With regard to the propellant, Audi has chosen the same mechanics that introduced in the TT RS.

It is a question of an engine of five cylinders, with 2,5 liters of cylinder capacity, a maximum potency of 340 horses and a maximum pair of 450 Nm, which transmits his force to four wheels by means of an automatic box of double clutch S tronic.

In this sense, it is necessary to point out that the motive pair is available from 1.600 revolutions and matinee up to 5.300 revolutions.

With this engine, the RS3 accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 4,6 seconds and achieves a maximum speed - limited electronically - of 250 kilometers per hour.

To it an exact consumption of 9,1 liters adds every 100 kilometers and a few emission of 212 grams of CO2 for covered kilometer.

These services are very similar to the achieved ones by the Audi TT RS Coupe Quattro S tronic, that – with the same engine - accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,3 seconds, it achieves 250 kilometers for hour of maximum speed and obtains a number of consumption of 8,5 liters with a few emission of 197 grams of CO2.

To achieve the mentioned number of consumption, Audi has fitted the weight of the vehicle. In fact, the new one RS3 detains the scales in 1.575 kilos, 15 kilos less than the S3 that produces 265, 75 horses less potency.

With this potency, the hardest rival of the new Audi RS3 will be Ford Focus Coupe RS500.

The principal difference that exists between both is that the Focus is only available with the bodywork of three doors, whereas the Audi only will be commercialized by five doors.

To it it is necessary to add that the propellant of the Focus achieves 350 horses-10 more horses - and 460 Nm.-10 Nm. more-. Also, the Focus has a manual box of six marches, opposite to automatic d double clutch of the Audi.

In what to services it refers, both are similar. Although it is true that Ford Focus achieves a major maximum speed-265 km/h. opposite to 250 km/h-, the Audi achieves a better acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h-4,6 seconds opposite to 5,6 seconds-.

Also, the consumption also is more exact in the German model: 9,1 liters, frenetic 9,4 liters of the Focus.

As announces Audi, the RS3 has a key called Sport that between other things changes the response of the engine and allows to change the trip of exit of the gases of the tailpipe intensifying the sound.

Another aspect that him differs from the conventional A3 is the height of bodywork reduced in 25 millimeters, thanks to the introduction of a few wharves and re-designed shock absorbers and of a few rims of 19 inches with tires of measurements 235/35 ahead and 225/35 behind.

It there join a few discs of brake of 370 millimeters in the front axis and of 310 millimeters in the bottom, with tweezers of four pistons identical with black and with the logotype RS.

Also, the ESP has a way Sport, which can be disconnected completely.

Although the first units will come to the concessionaires in March, for the time being the price is not known with the one that will be commercialized in Spain. In Germany, Audi will sell it for 49.900 euros.
 
Re: BMW M1 rival !!!

Acceleration is M3 Territory. Gotta say the car looks very pretty. Much more emphasis on the rear and front. :D
 
Re: BMW M1 rival !!!

Looks good, kinda resembles the old RS4
 
Re: BMW M1 rival !!!

The RS3 front wheel tire is wider than the rear tires. Opposite of M cars!
 
Re: BMW M1 rival !!!

What a shame the actual ride doesn't one fat exhaust on each side ala RS4 style as shown in pic above.
 
Re: BMW M1 rival !!!

i test drove the 1M last weekend...
Very easy car to drive. Clutch is as light as manual Toyota Corolla. Nice ergonomics..
Good amount of torque. For Twin turbo, seems quite laggy to be honest. The boost kicks in near 4k rpm which is pretty late for TT set up IMO.
Good brakes, easy to modulate..
Steering is quite light, think servotronic thingy..alot lighter than E81 car but still well weighted into speed..
Sound wise, not getting much, car too well insulated.
Cornering wise, feels pretty planted n not much rolls...the wider track certainly helps alot. Think can carry more speed in corners than M3. Car feels quite balanced.

Verdict? A bit too soft to my liking..but i think that makes it a decent compromise for occasional track driving and daily drive.

how it compare with the E46 M3?
 
Re: BMW M1 rival !!!

E46 M3 is raw..still my fav M to date.
To drive well n more aggressively in the E46, a wider wheel in the front is recommended else the car u/s bit too much IMO.
Stock offset was mid 40s on 8J and front engined car...junked that.
Brought it down to low 30s on 8.5J and the cornering was massively improved..

Bro, you think 1M better than standard Cayman S? I know the Cayman R is a better right but not sure about the standard Cayman S.
 
Re: BMW M1 rival !!!

i'd still take the cayman S, NA machine still rocks ah tho not as fast but think the connectivity in the driving is what this 1M lacks.
It's got punches but not raw enough and too quiet..

Cayman R , another beast...sure I like
I hv driven Wilson's Boxster Spyder...Awesome car.
I dont expect Cayman R to be any less than that ..
