The Audi RS 3 is the most powerful model in its series and the gateway into the world of Audi Sport. With the upgrade of the current generation, it is even sportier, thanks in part to an optimized chassis setup. The increased agility ensures best times and immense driving pleasure on winding terrain – on the racetrack and in everyday use.
When Audi used the torque splitter in the RS 3 for the first time in 2021, the compact sports car took its driving dynamics to a new level. In combination with the renowned five-cylinder turbocharged engine, which delivers 400 hp and 500 Nm of torque, Audi Sport racing and development driver Frank Stippler equaled the then lap record in the compact class on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. Three years and technological development later, the feat has been repeated. With identical performance data from the powerful 2.5 TFSI engine, the Audi RS 3 once again proves to be the fastest compact model on the racetrack in the Eifel – more than seven seconds ahead of the 2021 model. How did it happen? Let’s discover what made it possible.
