There are hot hatches and there are hatches that are quite simply off the scale – and the Audi RS 3 is strictly in the latter category. In fact it’s the most powerful model in the class, bar none. It’s based on the Audi A3 Sportback but its more chunky styling combined with the slightly flared wheel arches indicate that it’s got a lot more under the bonnet.
In fact, it has a beast of a 2.5L 5 cylinder engine that can effortlessly produce 362 bhp and accelerate from 0-62 in a breath taking 4.3 seconds.
Transmission is through a 7 speed S-Tronic automatic gearbox which drives all four wheels using the classic Audi Quattro system.
The drive is everything you’d expect it to be with firm suspension, precise steering and a level of responsiveness that puts you in astonishingly direct contact with the road.
To really experience the engine at its most dramatic, select Dynamic mode, slip the automatic gearbox to “sport” and the car will set off at 4,000rpm and really show what it’s capable of achieving.
