Audi RS3 (2022)

From zero to one hundred km/h in three.eight seconds, as much as 290 km/h pinnacle pace, RS Torque Splitter, semi slicks, and precise RS riding modes - the brand new Audi RS3 gives riding dynamics of the very best quality and the great numbers in its segment.Equipped with a 294 kW (four hundred PS) five-cylinder, the high-overall performance engine can provide speedy acceleration with a tremendously intoxicating sound. The energy unit now can provide 500 Nm of torque and responds even quicker. Visually, the RS3 demonstrates its sporty DNA with a widened frame, RS sports activities exhaust gadget, and cockpit presentations like the ones observed in race motors. "With the 1/3 era of the Audi RS3 Sportback and the second one era of the Audi RS3 Sedan, we now provide top class sports activities motors which might be appropriate for ordinary use and similarly exciting to force on public roads and racetracks," says Sebastian Grams, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH. "They constitute the access factor into our RS international and, way to the torque splitter, the closing in extraordinary overall performance withinside the compact segment." Unmatched acceleration and pinnacle pace: the 2.five TFSI With its five-cylinder, high-overall performance engine, the Audi RS3 is one-of-a-type withinside the segment. The 2.five TFSI has gained the "International Engine of the Year" award 9 instances in a row. In the modern-day era of the compact sports activities automobile, the engine is now greater effective than ever earlier than.




The new RS3 fashions dash from 0 to one hundred km/h in only three.eight seconds. Their pinnacle pace is constrained to 250 km/h, however 280 km/h is likewise to be had as an non-obligatory upgrade. With the RS Dynamic bundle and ceramic brakes, they are able to even attain a pinnacle pace of 290 km/h. This makes the Audi RS3 the great in its magnificence in phrases of acceleration and pinnacle pace. This is usually because of the five hundred Nm growth in torque, that's to be had among 2,250 and five,six hundred rpm. That is identical to twenty Nm greater than its predecessor. As a result, the Audi RS3 hastens even quicker from low rev ranges.The engine's most energy of 294 kW (four hundred PS) is to be had in advance than earlier than at five,six hundred rpm and extends over a wide plateau to 7,000 rpm. A new engine manage unit additionally will increase the rate at which all the force additives talk with every other. A seven-pace dual-grasp transmission is what places the energy of the five-cylinder engine to the pavement - with brief transferring instances and a sportier tools ratio unfold. The engine's precise 1-2-4-five-three ignition collection and the incomparable sound that incorporates it make the riding enjoy that rather more exhilarating. For the primary time, the exhaust gadget capabilities a totally variable flap manage gadget that helps intermediate positions, for that reason broadening the sound traits even in addition. It may be adjusted thru the riding dynamics gadget Audi force pick. In the Dynamic and RS Performance modes, for example, the flaps open plenty in advance - the emotional factors of the sound are even greater pronounced. In addition, the unmistakable sound of the five-cylinder engine is in addition better with the aid of using the non-obligatory RS sports activities exhaust gadget. Maximum agility: RS Torque Splitter and precise RS3 modes The new Audi RS3 is the primary Audi version that comes preferred-ready with a torque splitter. It replaces the rear axle differential and the preceding more than one disc grasp bundle at the rear axle. Instead, an electronically managed more than one disc grasp is used on every of the force shafts. This guarantees that the proper quantity of torque is optimally dispensed alongside the rear axle. During greater dynamic riding, the torque splitter will increase the force torque to the outer rear wheel with the better wheel load, which considerably reduces the tendency to understeer. In left-hand curves, it transmits the force torque to the proper rear wheel, in proper-hand curves to the left rear wheel, and whilst riding directly in advance to each wheels. The new era additionally makes managed drifts on closed-off tracks possible - on this case, the torque splitter directs all the energy to handiest one of the rear wheels, with as much as 1,750 newton meters in step with wheel possible. Audi even advanced a riding mode particularly for the RS3 for this purpose - "RS Torque Rear" - as a flow mode with its personal feature curve for the torque splitter. The RS Performance mode, created particularly for the racetrack, is some other never-earlier than-visible innovation. It makes use of a particular engine and transmission configuration and is exactly tailor-made to the semi-slick tires which might be, for the first actual time, to be had for the RS3 as a manufacturing unit choice. In this case, the torque splitter can provide a mainly dynamic, sporty trip alongside the longitudinal axis with as little understeer and oversteer as possible.




These modes may be decided on thru the Audi force pick riding dynamics gadget, which additionally gives the subsequent profiles: comfort, auto, dynamic, RS Individual, and efficiency. More dynamic trip with extra precision: RS sports activities suspension and large wheel camber The preferred RS sports activities suspension capabilities newly advanced surprise absorbers and a valve gadget each precise to the RS3. The valves make certain that the surprise absorbers showcase a mainly touchy reaction as a part of the rebound and compression traits. This lets in the suspension to reply to the respective riding state of affairs even quicker and greater effectively. The RS recreation suspension plus with adaptive damper manage is to be had as an choice. It constantly and for my part adjusts every surprise absorber to the street conditions, the riding state of affairs, and the mode decided on in Audi force pick. The 3 feature curves comfortable, balanced, and sporty offer a absolutely perceptible unfold of the surprise absorber traits. The large wheel camber, i.e. the wheels are angled greater in the direction of the street, outcomes in a greater specific steerage reaction and extended cornering force. Compared to the Audi A3, the wheels at the the front axle of the brand new RS3 have simply beneathneath one diploma of extra poor camber. To obtain this, the pivot bearings had been changed and the decrease wishbones had been ready with stiffer bearings, subframes, and stabilizers. A rear axle capabilities a four-hyperlink layout with separate spring/damper arrangement, subframe, and tubular stabilizer bar. The wheel carriers, which can be stiffer than the ones of the Audi A3 and S3, take in the extended lateral forces generated with the aid of using the torque splitter. The poor wheel camber right here is nearly 1/2 of a diploma greater as compared to the A3. The RS-precise innovative steerage varies the tools ratio relying at the steerage perspective - because the steerage perspective will increase, the tools ratio turns into smaller and steerage greater direct. It additionally assists primarily based totally on pace and may be various thru Audi force pick. The setup of the springs and surprise absorbers is markedly stiff, and the frame is ten millimeters decrease than at the S3 and 25 millimeters decrease than at the A3. Another new addition to the RS3 is the modular car dynamics controller (mVDC). This important gadget captures information from all of the additives applicable to lateral dynamics, for that reason making sure that they have interaction greater exactly and greater speedy. The mVDC synchronizes the torque splitter, adaptive dampers, and wheel-selective torque manage for specific steerage and handling. All in all, it will increase the car's agility, particularly on winding roads. Powerful deceleration: six-piston metallic and ceramic brake gadget The Audi RS3 comes preferred-ready with large and newly advanced six-piston metallic brakes to preserve the energy of the five-cylinder engine in check. A ceramic brake gadget measuring 380 with the aid of using 38 mm is optionally to be had at the the front axle with a pedal feature curve ein particular tailored to the brake booster. The high-overall performance brake gadget weighs some other ten kilograms much less than the metallic brake. Its internally ventilated and drilled discs degree 375 with the aid of using 36 mm on the the front and 310 with the aid of using 22 mm on the rear. This makes them large and greater strong than withinside the preceding version. Air manage factors enhance the brakes' cooling time with the aid of using 20 percentage. This greater speedy reduces height temperatures at some point of tough braking even as pedal experience stays the identical. In addition, it additionally reduces brake pad wear, which can be 15 percentage large and copper-free.Those who choose the ceramic brakes can pick among gray, crimson, or blue brake calipers.Those who pick the metallic model can order crimson calipers in place of the black ones. Expressive and unmistakable: outdoors and lighting The layout of the brand new Audi RS3 is even greater dynamic and effective than that of its predecessor. In the the front, the huge RS bumper, the redesigned Singleframe with its exceptional honeycomb grille, and the massive air intakes provide the compact sports activities automobile an expressive appearance. The RS3 comes preferred-ready with flat, wedge-formed LED headlights and LED hind lights along with dynamic flip sign lighting fixtures. Matrix LED headlights are to be had as an choice, with darkened bezels that characteristic virtual daylight hours walking lighting fixtures round their outer downturned angles. With its pixel discipline of three x five LED segments, it offers an unmistakable appearance - a checkered flag seems withinside the left headlight as a dynamic leaving and coming domestic scene, and the RS3 lettering seems at the driver's side. When riding, the checkered flag lighting fixtures up on each sides.




There is likewise a brand new layout detail at the back of the the front wheel arches: an attention grabbing extra air outlet. The rocker panels with black trim have additionally been redesigned and, in mixture with the flared wheel arches, make contributions to the expressive appearance of the brand new RS3. The the front axle song has been widened with the aid of using 33 millimeters as compared to the preceding version. On the Sportback, the rear axle song has extended with the aid of using ten millimeters. The RS3 is preferred-ready with 19-inch forged wheels in a 10-Y spoke layout. True racing layout is embodied with the aid of using the optionally to be had five-Y spokes with RS branding. Audi will even mount Pirelli P Zero "Trofeo R" overall performance semi-slick tires for the primary time, if desired. The motorsports-stimulated completing touches consist of the redesigned RS-precise rear bumper with included diffuser and the RS exhaust gadget with massive oval tailpipes. The new Audi RS3 fashions may be ordered in distinctive RS colors: Kyalami inexperienced and Kemora gray.The roof of the Sedan also can be ordered withinside the contrasting shadeation Brilliant black for the primary time. Individual outdoors capabilities, consisting of the honeycomb grille withinside the Singleframe, come preferred in black - both in a matte or high-gloss finish.

The Alu-Optic Trim bundle is to be had as an choice and accentuates the the front bumper, diffuser insert, and window trim. For a fair sportier appearance, the rocker panel inlays also are to be had in carbon-fiber-bolstered polymer.The identical applies to the reflect caps, the tailgate spoiler at the Sedan and the roof aspect spoiler at the Sportback. Genuine racing feeling: the interior In the interior, too, many factors precise to the RS intensify its sportiness. The presentations seem withinside the 12.three-inch Audi digital cockpit plus, which comes preferred. It presentations the rpms withinside the shape of a bar graph and suggests energy and torque as percentages. Optionally, the rpm show is to be had withinside the new "RS Runway" layout. In this case, the values are displayed withinside the contrary route in a way that visually resembles an plane runway - the very best pace withinside the foreground and the bottom pace withinside the background.






In addition, the Audi digital cockpit plus consists of presentations for g-forces, lap instances and acceleration from zero-one hundred km/h, zero-two hundred km/h, area mile, and 8th of a mile. The RS-precise blinking shift indicator in guide transmission mode adjustments the rpm show from inexperienced to yellow to crimson, blinking in a way same to that utilized in motorsports, to suggest the proper time to extrade gears. The 10.1-inch contact show consists of what's called the "RS Monitor," which presentations the coolant, engine, and transmission oil temperatures in addition to tire pressures. Also to be had for the primary time for the Audi RS3 is a head-up show that initiatives applicable facts onto the windshield withinside the driver's direct line of sight further to the shift mild indicator. The authentic racing feeling is in addition better with the aid of using the carbon-fiber device panel and RS recreation seats with RS embossing and anthracite comparison sewing. The seat upholstery is optionally to be had in first-rate Nappa leather-based with RS honeycomb sewing and sleek black, crimson, or, for the primary time, inexperienced comparison sewing.RS Design applications in crimson and inexperienced are to be had to match.They consist of unique ground mats with comparison sewing and RS embroidery, in addition to seatbelts with coloured edges.
