The taut, aggressive Audi RS3 Saloon is the sibling car to the Audi RS3 Sportback hot hatch. With a 321-litre boot, the Saloon is more practical than the popular hatchback, while both are equally devastating when it comes to performance on the road or race circuit.

Power is supplied by a 2.5-litre, five-cylinder petrol engine with 400 PS and 500 Nm of torque, channelled via all-wheel drive.
The Audi RS3 Saloon was revised and relaunched in 2024, arriving with an improved torque splitter - which distributes power between the rear wheels for better grip - and uprated adaptive dampers.
That means greater traction and stability through corners - or an ‘evolution in oversteer’ when you deactivate the Electronic Stability Control.
The Audi RS3 Saloon can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 3.8 seconds and can reach a top speed of 155 mph as standard.
Latest models are significantly sportier than before, too, with a broader front grille and lower stance.
Meanwhile entry-level variants of the Audi RS3 Saloon are well-equipped as standard, coming with 19-inch wheels, RS sport suspension, Audi Drive Select, a Nappa leather interior, three-zone air con, a 10.1-inch touch screen, 12.3-inch virtual cockpit, wireless charging, front and rear parking sensors, a Sonos 3D premium sound system, head-up display, and adaptive cruise control.
