Following up on our earlier post about the state of Audi Sport Models in North America, today we learned some exciting news from several sources at the Audi Summit for Audi of America employees. Audi executives confirmed that the Audi RS 3 Sedan is a GO.
Up until now there has been little information about the possibility of an Audi RS 3 sedan. Even our spy photographers have failed to catch a sign of an RS 3 Sedan testing.
Audi RS 3 Sedan
This image has been making the rounds. It is a apparently a capture from video that was played during the presentation. We cannot confirm yet, if it 100% represents the final production version.
What we know:
+400 Horsepower from an all new aluminum block 2.5-Liter inline-5 engine
7-Speed S-Tronic Gearbox
Optional Audi Virtual Cockpit
Optional Audi RS 3 specific shell seats
It will have a facelifted appearance vs current RS 3 Sportback
New headlight design and front grill
Wider track than the S3
It will be awesome!

Personally, it's "meh".
The current gen A3/S3 front looks better and more striking, but 400hp is 400hp... it will be a super sleeper for sure.
