2013 Audi RS3 Sedan Rendered by Theophilus Chin






As it stands, Audi only produces an Audi RS3 variant of the Audi A3 hatchback, dubbed the Audi RS3 Sportback. However, what would a possible Audi RS3 sedan look like if the German automaker ever decided to produce such a car? Well, Theophilus Chin has a possible answer with his latest renderings!
Based on the standard Audi A3 sedan, the new Audi RS3 would inevitably feature a new bodykit incorporating more aggressive front and rear bumpers. However, Chin’s renderings go that one step further and showcase the car on a set of wheels borrowed from the 500hp Audi A1 Clubsport Quattro Concept, as well as a prominent rear wing. While, Audi would almost certainly not use such features for any real Audi RS3 sedan, it nice to see what a possible competitor to the recently revealed 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Edition 1 would look like!
From a performance standpoint, the existing Audi RS3 Sportback features the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine from the Audi TT RS. It delivers a total of 340hp and 331lb-ft of torque which is transmitted to the road via a seven-speed S tronic and quattro permanent all-wheel drive. The RS3 rockets from a dead stop to 100km/h in 4.6 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h. The compact car weighs in at only 1,575 kilograms (3,472 pounds).
