We’ve got our hands on all three editions of the Audi RS3, and we’re about to find out just how different they all are!
For starters, let’s check out the stats. The Mk1 RS3 is powered by a 2.5litre turbocharged 5cylinder that can put down 340hp and 480Nm of torque. It tips the scales at 1,575kg, and if you’re looking to pick one up in 2022 it’ll cost you about £25,000.
As for the Mk2, it’s also powered by a 2.5litre turbocharged 5cylinder, but it’s well up on power, producing 400hp and 480Nm of torque. It’s lighter than the Mk1, at 1,510kg, and the price of one today is about £35,000.
Then finally we have the new Mk3. It’s powered by a (you guessed it…) 2.5litre turbocharged 5cylinder, putting down 400hp and 500Nm. It weighs the same as Mk1, at 1,575kg, and it currently costs £56,000.
So what do you think will the Mk3 run away with it? Or will the lighter Mk2 snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
