Anyone know if it will happen? looking online it looks awesome. Pity it wont have the 500bhp but more like 360bhp but even then it will make a stunning looking car with the potential for more power.

maybe just all pie in the sky stuff from Audi though??

I saw said car at Lemons in 2014, no way the prod car will look or sound the same.

yeah that's always the issue. Shame looks very nice.

Its proper title was the A3 clubsport (rather than RS3), and was seen at the time as a good indicator of what the upcoming RS3 might look like. Unfortunately the RS3 was nowhere near as nice and aggressive as the A3 cs.

Ahh I see, pity the Saloon looks great.

I agree, I had a photo of it on my desktop as my background for ages and hoped it might have been the car to replace my RS4. The RS3 saloon has just been shown at a 'secret' Audi event detailing a 2017 launch in the US and looked pretty poor. However a video made it look a bit better, then there was a rumour that the car shown was just an S3 with some RS3 bits thrown on it. We might see the actual RS3 saloon at the Geneva show.

I'm flying over to Switzerland on Friday and will be attending the show. so will defo post some pics

my dealer at hitchin only mentioned yesterday about the rs3 saloon. Set to be more power than current rs3 at ~400hp. That should put the cat amongst the pigeons.
