The RS3 is at the top of the A3 Range and available in either a Sportback (hatchback) or Saloon body shape with both available in the Audi Sport Edition trim. It's the performance model of the range so is great for drivers who want a powerful car with great handling to bring the fun back to their daily driving.
It comes with LED headlights, 19” alloy wheels, Audi’s virtual cockpit, and RS sports suspension as standard across all models, and there are a whole host of safety and driver assistance systems like a rear-view mirror that senses headlights behind you and automatically dimming in response eliminates hazardous glare and the Parking System Plus which senses the space around you and with audible and with visual signals, guides you into tight spots.
You're currently only able to get the RS3 with a petrol engine and automatic gear box for smoother accelerations.
Audi is a German car brand known for its premium models and the RS3 epitomises what the company stands for - pairing power and performance with luxurious interiors for optimum comfort.

There are many benefits to leasing an RS3 as opposed to buying, including the lower initial rental, low monthly payments, driving a brand new car for a great price, avoiding extra costs like road tax and not having to worry about the hassle of selling the car when you reach the end of the contract.
One of the big reasons that drivers choose to lease a car like the RS3 rather than buying it is because of the high purchase price that they come with, which leads to rapid depreciation in value and so when the time comes for a new vehicle they will then have the burden of selling the vehicle and finding the additional funds needed for a new model. When you lease you don't need to worry about any of this.
The RS3 was first revealed by Audi back in December 2014 and has been available for drivers to lease and buy since 2015.
The closest estimate for the RS3 to go from 0 to 60mph is 3.8 seconds, which makes it one of the fastest Audi models on the market available for you to drive.
There won't be many opportunities for you to do such a quick start but being hot off the mark can help in a number of real world driving situations.
The hatchback, or sportback, version of the RS3 weighs a bit more than its saloon counterpart but comes with the benefit of more internal space. The saloon is slightly longer and lower, while the boot still has decent proportions at 321 litres. There’s not much in it between the two, it just depends on your preferences as to which option you pick as the performance is just as good no matter if you're driving the hatchback or saloon.
