Despite all the rumours, the RS3 didn't appear at Paris.

I doubt it ever will appear - shame, an RS3 Sportback would be much more appealing than a TTRS.

Agreed, at present I see the RS3 Sportback as the only potentially credible replacement / upgrade for my RS4. C6 RS6 saloon is a consieration but it is still a big car and loses some of the nimbleness of the RS4.

prob with the RS 3 will be its wont be as good as the RS 4, and the fuel tank will be too small

Just seen the pics on the Autocar website - very interested in this next year I have to say...

Lots of info here

I like the carbon fibre flared arches!

400bhp with a map ... Pocket rocket!

Shame about poverty spec ... Would have hoped at least the buckets would be standard!

I for one will be interested in this.

I do find it odd why so many people question why just a Sportback option. You aren't going to want to take away business from the TT-RS and possibly the RS5 so why introduce a 3 door variant? Similarly so from what has supposedly been leaked about an Avant only RS4 replacement. A saloon would take some RS5 sales.

already contacted dealer to replace the Golf next spring...having driven a TT RS i'm defo up for it


good spec only real obvious options seem to be buckets and colour

not forgetting Golf R

Golf R is basically a S3 (265BHP), but priced £4k more (spec 4 spec)

Knobheads. I would have bought one of these next year had I not gone and bought 'something else' instead, particularly as I never thought they would build one. Grrrr!

This could be the car to keep me in an Audi (I was going to get a GTR next year).
