Audi RS 3

Sportback

plus power.

A high dose of performance.

A concept that redefines the Audi A3 Sportback. Equipped with the

genes of the original quattro. Enhanced by innovative technology.

A vehicle that also gives visual expression to its performance, e.g.

with its Audi Singleframe with a matt aluminium-look frame and high-

gloss anthracite grille with diamond styling. This sporty impression is

highlighted by extended front wheel arches made from carbon

fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), by newly-designed bumpers with large

air intakes at the front and a distinctive diffuser insert at the rear. The

roof edge spoiler, which provides more downforce at the rear, rounds off

the appearance of the RS 3.

All together in a new class of sports car, whose name speaks for itself:

Audi RS 3.

Bucket seat

plus sports steering wheel.

A big impression.

The athletic appearance is also continued on the inside. With clear, functional

lines: puristic in black. High-quality materials such as the standard Fine Nappa

leather upholstery and trim are processed with great precision. Sporty ele-

ments provide a functional interface between the vehicle and the driver: e.g.

the grippy RS 3 leather-covered multifunction sports steering wheel with shift

paddles, the sports seats or the RS 3 bucket seats for outstanding lateral sup-

port, the high-quality pedals in aluminium look and the instrument cluster

with additional RS 3 menu. Here, every detail serves one purpose: to provide a

highly-charged driving experience.

A high dose of performance.


Audi has a long tradition with five-cylinder engines. Augmented by innovative tech-

nologies such as turbocharging with FSI® direct petrol injection, an award-winning

engine was developed from the classic basic principle. Honoured with the “Interna-

tional Engine of the Year Award 2011”*, the 2.5 litre TFSI engine combines scintillat-

ing performance, enormous torque and a robust sound. If that’s not enough, you

can press the sports button on the centre console: then the engine responds even

more spontaneously to the accelerator and the exhaust system sounds even more

striking.

The result: an unmistakable performance and a feeling that will make your skin

tingle.

S tronic plus

shift paddles.

Pure acceleration.

S tronic means: gearshifting almost without interruption in propulsive power. Fast,

dynamic, efficient. The RS 3 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. Never-

theless, the 7-speed dual clutch transmission helps reduce fuel consumption with its

high degree of effectiveness and wide ratio spread. Whether in automatic mode, in

manual mode using the shift paddles on the steering wheel or by using the selector

lever: you won’t be short of enthusiasm. Extremely authentic, extremely sporty and

yet extraordinarily efficient.

A high dose of enthusiasm.

In order to get the enormous power of the 5-cylinder engine onto the road, we equip the RS 3 as

standard with one of the best all-wheel drive systems in the world: quattro®. The permanent

all-wheel drive ensures a high degree of directional stability, excellent traction and effortless accel-

eration. Driving force is transferred to the tarmac almost without loss.

In other words: uncompromising dynamism, breathtaking propulsion – on almost every road.

Sports suspension plus

high-performance brake system.

A high dose of dynamism.

Within its class, the Audi RS 3 is pushing into new dimensions of driving dynamism.

Amongst other things, this is due to the RS 3 sports suspension with special spring-

damper tuning. It steers precisely and offers phenomenal handling. The necessary grip is

provided by powerful 19-inch aluminium wheels with performance-optimised tyres. The

high performance of the RS 3 is not only due to its engine, but also to its 18-inch brake

system. With 4-piston fixed callipers on the front axle, the brakes bite powerfully.

For serious deceleration and a high dose of dynamism.

The Audi RS 3: Sportback in the extreme.

The 2.5 litre TFSI engine in the Audi RS 3 is a

genuine high-performance engine. It generates

250 kW of power from 2,480 cc of displacement

and provides a full 450 Nm of torque in the

1,600–5,300 rpm range. On the one hand, this

ensures effortless power delivery right from the

bottom of the rev range, and on the other, gives

it enormous sprinting capacity up to its rev limit

of 6,800 rpm.

The unusual 5-cylinder design gives the Audi RS 3

an unmistakable sound signature due to its firing

order. It also offers the advantages of compact

measurements and a low weight, which

accommodates the vehicle layout well and

positively influences the axle load distribution.

Naturally, all components of this engine are de-

veloped and designed to meet the high standards

required for use in the Audi RS 3. The two Audi

core technologies of turbocharging and direct

petrol injection also ensure that this engine pro-

vides high power output, impressive torque and

efficiency. Pneumatically controlled valves set the

air flowing into the cylinder in a rotating motion.

The fuel is injected in exact doses at up to 120 bar

of pressure into this so-called “tumble”. This gen-

erates an intensive turbulence, which leads to the

cylinder walls being cooled internally. It is there-

fore possible to increase the compression ratio of

the engine and in this way improve its efficiency.

The generously proportioned exhaust-gas turbo-

charger has its own oil supply and a cooling

circuit with its own water pump. It compresses

the air to a relative boost pressure of up to 1.2

bar. An intercooler is also provided to optimise

effectiveness.

So much for the theory. In practice you can

accelerate in the Audi RS 3 from 0–100 km/h in

just 4.6 seconds – right up to an electronically

regulated top speed of 250 km/h.


In just a few seconds you will understand why.

What is the benefit of two clutches?

A double saving: time and energy.

The 7-speed dual clutch transmission enables

quick shifts with practically no break in propul-

sive power; it is also particularly efficient.

The 7-speed S tronic comprises two multi-plate

clutches and two gearboxes. Both parts of the

transmission are permanently active, although

there is only ever one actually connected to the

engine. For example, when the driver

accelerates in third gear, the second part of the

transmission is already set in fourth gear. The

gear change works by switching the clutches –

one opens and the other closes. The gear change

takes place in a few hundredths of a second. So

quickly and fluently that you will hardly notice it.

It does not matter whether the driver chooses

the fully automatic mode with programmes

D (Drive) or S (Sport) or changes gear manually

with the shift paddles on the steering wheel or

by using the selector lever – the gear change

feels precise and extremely sporty. But even with

all this dynamic performance, the S tronic still

remains extremely efficient. High efficiency

reduces both fuel consumption and emissions.

Furthermore, the 7th gear is designed as an over-

drive with a longer transmission.

quattro®/suspension and high-performance brake system

With quattro®, we have invented one of the best

all-wheel drive systems in the world.

Those who know Audi know quattro®. And any-

body who has driven with the permanent all-

wheel drive system from Audi never wants to

drive any other way. Why? Because this drive sys-

tem transfers the engine’s power to the road in

such an impressive way. That’s why the RS 3 is

equipped with quattro as standard.

If the wheels on one axle are at risk of spinning,

the power is transferred to the other axle. In the

RS 3, this is achieved using the newest genera-

tion of electronically-controlled and hydraulical-

ly-operated Haldex multi-plate clutch, which

allows any distribution of drive torque between

the front and rear axles. The rapid response and

very fast reaction times of this generation of

quattro are particularly convincing.

The Audi RS 3 also boasts all of the superior qual-

ities that have been characteristic of Audi for a

long time: outstanding traction, virtually non-

slip acceleration, enhanced driving dynamics, im-

proved directional stability and greater driving

safety.

Try it for yourself: in the Audi RS 3.

S23_RS3_09_Bild 23S23_RS3_09_Bild 23 09.06.11 18:0509.06.11 18:05

With regard to the suspension, the RS 3 benefits

from the excellent qualities exhibited by the basic

Audi S3 design. The front wheel mount is a

McPherson design with lower wishbones. The

subframe, swivel bearings and the suspension

arms are all made from aluminium. The subframe

is bolted to the chassis at six points to increase

rigidity. The electromechanical rack and pinion

steering works with variable power assistance. The

dynamic character of the RS 3 is highlighted by its

modified characteristic curves. The 4-link rear

axle can brace longitudinal and transverse forces

separately, thanks to its elaborate design. The

trailing arms absorb the driving and braking

forces. The relatively soft configuration of their

bearings improves ride comfort, whereas the

three suspension arms of each wheel are firmly

secured to the axle support, thereby improving

driving dynamics. The separately positioned coil

springs and the newly developed dampers absorb

the vertical forces. The characteristic curves of

the spring-damper combinations as well as the

adapted elastokinematics have been specially

designed and extensively tested for the RS 3.

The standard 18-inch high-performance brake

system bites firmly on the front axle with its

4-piston fixed callipers. The front brake discs

consist of a cast friction ring that is connected to

the aluminium brake disc chamber with steel

pins. This so-called floating bearing ensures

that the friction ring remains largely tension

free, which improves stability at extreme tem-

peratures. The axial perforation of the discs and a

cooling channel for interior ventilation increase

the performance of the brake discs even further.

The use of aluminium not only reduces the weight

of the brake discs but also improves the weight

balance of the unsprung masses.

The brake discs on the front axle have a

diameter of 370 mm. The brake callipers

are painted in high-gloss black.

A confident appearance

can be learned.

From suspension, for example.

Notes

¹ The figure stated was calculated using the specified measuring procedure

(current version of Directive 80/1269/EEC).

² Weight of car, unladen, with driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and fuel tank

90 % full, calculated in accordance with the current version of Directive

92/21/EEC. Optional equipment may increase the car’s unladen weight

and drag coefficient, whereupon the possible payload limit and the top

speed will be reduced accordingly.

³ A vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions do not just depend on

how efficiently the vehicle uses the fuel, but are also influenced by driving

behaviour and other non-technical factors. CO₂ is the greenhouse gas

primarily responsible for global warming.

4 Regulated.

⁵ We recommend using sulphur-free superplus unleaded RON 98 in accord-

ance with DIN EN 228. If not available, sulphur-free Super unleaded

RON 95 in accordance with DIN EN 228; power output will be slightly

reduced. Unleaded RON 95 fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 10 %

(E10) can generally be used. Fuel consumption details refer to operation

with RON 95 fuel in accordance with 692/2008/EC.

6 The figures given were calculated using the specified measuring procedures.

The figures do not refer to one individual vehicle and do not form part

of any offer, but rather should be used purely for purposes of comparison

between the different vehicle models.

Important note

Inspections are due as shown by the service display.
