The new Audi RS3 GT will be a track-focused farewell to the five-cylinder engine | Evo

Audi’s five-cylinder engine isn’t long for this world, and a new hardcore RS3 is in the works to send it off in style

It’s always been limited at 155mph unless you opt for the Dynamic Package, Limiter Removal, or a special edition.

Same for the other German manufacturers abiding by the 155 agreement.

Although in reality, the Audi 155 has always been rather flexible in its implementation, owners have found that it often exceeds 155 on a stock car.

Audi RS3 v Toyota GR Yaris v Mercedes-AMG A45 S – which is the best AWD hyper hatch? | Evo

We pit the Audi RS3 against the Toyota GR Yaris and the Mercedes-AMG A45 S in a battle of the AWD super hatches on the road and track. Which comes out on top?

M2 makes the cut

Best sports cars 2025 – the last true driver’s cars | Evo

Sports cars are designed to do one thing above all else: put the driver at the centre of the experience. Morgan’s Supersport is the latest of the breed

But it needs rear doors.

You may like/need rear doors, but it doesn’t need rear doors.

Plenty of customers/owners like it as it is

Nice to see a publication get the “50 percent to the rear” AWD description correct

Audi RS3 2025 review – can it topple AMG’s A45 S? | Evo

The RS3 has one of the most spectacular engines you'll find in a hot hatch, and the rest is just as good. Is that enough to warrant a £60k+ asking price?

Tyres are an important part of the equation.

They should try again on the same tires, dunno what's the point of such a comparison when the cars you're comparing are on different tires.

Tyres are an important factor

I do but what the **** has that got to do with my next car purchase? 🫣

He’s making assumptions / presumptions again 😂

I have tried to spell out to you what the comment’s context was. Clearly it is not being understood. Let’s move on.

You have tried, but been inconsistent in the explanation!
Hence me not understanding.

 

[veeeight]

I am saying on the basis that it is not the RS3 2025 model.

But that’s not what you were saying in #842!

You were making an assertion presented as fact that the RS3 would not be faster in British type weather!

And I’m still not clear how you came to this conclusion presented as fact!

Let’s not propagate forum conjecture and heresay as fact!

There is evidence that Audi takes some liberty with setup for ring times.

ALL manufacturers “optimise” their cars for the Ring, as well as press cars.

You would not believe some of the stuff that goes on, from changing the bushes, to extra sound insulation.

A45s is already timed in the wet. It would stay the same. The RS3 was probably not timed in the wet. Hence my comment.

I still don’t understand.
Where is the A45s timed in the wet, where the RS3 wasn’t?

On the Fifth Gear video, weren’t both cars timed on the same wet track?

 

[veeeight]

Oh I see, in #857.

But doesn’t that mean that both cars will be correspondingly slower in the wet?

And so, if they have increased the lap time of the RS3, wouldn’t that mean a corresponding (though not proportional) increase in wet time?

I still don’t understand what you mean.

 

[veeeight]

I expanded.

I might be missing something, but do you mean in #851? Or where?

 

[veeeight]

Physics.

Would you care to explain?

 

[veeeight]

But I am sure that won't be in British type weather conditions.

What is the basis for your “sureness” assertion?

 

[veeeight]

I was thinking the same of the post at #6 https://www.aclassclub.co.uk/threads/a35-thoughts-golf-r-and-ex-a45-owner.14397/ Among other not really quantiable comments, as we all do. What were the metrics for such an assertion.

Errrmm. Because I owned and drove both cars for comparison?

Therefore valid quantifiable opinion, backed up by actually having owned and driven the cars?

But you’re trying to deflect
