The storied Audi R8 took its final laps last week in celebration of its 15 years in the United States and as one of the premier super cars of its time. Since its launch in the U.S. in 2008, the brand halo and pinnacle of performance for Audi achieved iconic status both on and off the track, winning the World Performance Car of the Year in 2008 and in 2016 as well as proving its authenticity on the track by winning every major endurance race around the world. The R8 continues the Audi strategy of proving its race technologies on the track and bringing those technologies to the road. That same strategy will be brought to bear as the brand shifts toward electrified performance with its entry to Formula 1 in 2026.
Audi Sport GmbH will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Audi RS Q3 in 2023 with a particularly sporty version: the RS Q3 edition 10 years. And with the TT RS Coupé iconic edition, Audi is celebrating the success story of a quarter-century of the Audi TT Coupé. As a design icon and athletic sports coupé, the TT RS has shaped the brand just as much as the Audi R8 has as a super-sportscar. Since 2009, R8 has meant a 5.2 FSI ten-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, representing a core of the brand’s DNA. With up to 60% matching parts between the production model and the LMS race car, no other model from Audi Sport GmbH is closer to motorsports than the R8. It delivers top performance and is designed for maximum dynamics – and that’s exactly what it shares with the RS 3, which could not be further away in the portfolio. A compact sports car suitable for everyday use on the one hand, and a high-performance sports car on the other. Different vehicle segments, different drive concepts, but the exciting driving experience is available from the smallest Audi Sport model to the largest.
With the third generation of the Audi RS 3 Sportback and the second generation of the RS 3 Sedan, Audi is relaunching the sporty top-of-the-line pair in the compact segment. The award-winning five-cylinder engine now has more torque, making it even more powerful. In combination with the RS torque splitter installed for the first time in an Audi, the A3 series’ emotional flagship model offers performance and lateral dynamics on a whole new level. The market launch will take place at the end of October – at prices starting at 60,000 euros for the RS 3 Sportback and 62,000 euros for the RS 3 Sedan.
