Lads,

Apologies for the bad translation. Have had a crack at it!

After having taken photographs of this very beautiful A3 Sportback, my attention turned to the exhaust. It was a surprise not to see the whole exhaust . I was in front of a very particular prototype. I look at the dashboard again. The speedo went to 280 km/h which gives away a certain level of performance. The label on the wheel shows not to exceed 7500 rpm That must sing under the bonnet.

An Audi employee then arrives with the keys to the car. I engage inconversation with him who does not want to reveal to me the engine type but doesnt deny its a V6 Biturbo. start the engine! And it is a very raucous noise Very very raucous! V6 of the TT makes blade appears in with dimensions????. It is limiting of V8???? I have been informed by 2 other sources quite well informed that there is indeed a V6 Biturbo under development at Audi with Ingolstadt. S3 would not leave to the profit a RS3 of more than 300 CH??? While we wait, here are the exclusive pictures and information, double particular exits??? large discs ventilated at the front with 18 inch RS6 wheels.

Dudes,

Where was the photo taken?

Photoshopped.

Front and rear wheels are identicle in their reflections and shades, and completely parallel to each other...

front badge is pasted on.

the mule above in the link does look good.

Riz_32, hope you get all that right up there.

Do! you thing guys that with just a simple ECU replacemente/change we can reach easily the 380/390hp ?

I´m just concern about the weight...more than 1550kgs i think will be too much for the RS3, specially if we (i talk in my case) want to get it to a track, like i do here in ex-F1 track of Estoril (Portugal).

Cheers,

I do think that the weight will be around the 1600kg mark but since i dont do trackdays its not really a big problem for me

Afterall if you want solid build quality with good materials is does at weight, the DSG will increase the weight also.

Aslong as they get the main running gear right the car should be good fun.

Brakes, Suspension etc.

Yep, i agree! with you and you are right about the quality!.

But anyone has any thoughts about when maybe Audi will officially or not say something about this eventual RS3 ? Does it comes avant only or in three doors also ?

All that we read here about the RS3 in terms of performance are based on what ? just some guesses ?

I have already read that an S3 is in the way, but people said that there´s no S3, just and RS3 ? what do you thing, guys ?

thanks in advance,

Cheers,
