I swear I think footie is a paid Audi corporate drone. It's like he copy/pastes the same paragraph into any thread that has the title Audi. I honestly think hes just a programmed bot for audi, nothing comes out of his mouth except keywords like:

Quattro
Superior
AWD
Raise the bar

And this led to him trading his S5 in for an M3? And not being able to admit it to his audi friends on the Audi forum he belongs to but spends most of his time on BMW forums? He is a closet BMW fan. He is also a closet homosexual.

Jason would never insult me like this for having a spirited discussion about another German marque and he encourages a healthy debate when I bring up my considerable Audi knowledge. He is much nicer and far more respectful!

Jason is gay, that's why it works between you two.

Mate, you are incredibly rude and simply will not acknowledge how great this RS3 will be.

[1cleanAMG]

Footie you are incredibly faggy

Even I'm sick of your whining. Please stop reporting posts to me whenever someone tells you to stop being an Audi troll and stop trying to create a homo-erotic relationship with me based on getting aroused by 4 rings.

Best regards,

Each ring represents the gaping sphincters of Audi fanboys.

This is going to be wonderful! In most real world situation this car will be much faster than the 1 M coupe due to Quattro and if it shared the TT-RS motor it will have much more power. Audi has BMW outgunned and keeps raising the bar!

LOL you again. Ya it will be just like the RS5 was BMW's bitch. The only thing Audi outguns BMW in is losing.

It will be heavier.

Ya like every Audi vs every BMW...

I forwarded it to Southlight.

I LOL'ed IRL

It will likely be in the 3500 pound range.

Some additional details:

Summary of what we know:
- Designed to compete with BMW M1
- Will get 340 bhp, 0-100 kph in 4.4 seconds top speed limited to 250 kph
- Performance figures in line with TT-RS
- Wider tyres at the front because cost of extended rear wheel arches was perceived to be too much
- Only available with DSG (unconfirmed)
- Only available as a Sportback (unconfirmed)
- Limited to 2,700 units worldwide (unconfirmed, if true, the reason is to justify a higher price)
- Handling characteristics dramatically different to S3 due to new suspension components and set-up.
- Makes use of aluminium for suspension, bonnet and tailgate (unconfirmed).

All that and it will still fail Audi should just quit for good. They are the sewer rats of the European automarket. I think they are made of what BMW throws away.

No it isn't. But I know what you meant.

In all seriousness though, assuming it's reliable, the RS3 would make a terrific year 'round DD if you live in a 4-season climate. I'd consider one if it wasn't overpriced (as some RS models tend to be). Buy a set of LMs for your summer performance tires, throw Blizzaks on your stockers, and you're good to go.

Footie,

Don't make the same mistake you did with RS5. You didn't shut up about that thing prior to release.

The RS5 is continues to lose comparos to the M3.

You can't use arguments based on reality with him.

The car indeed will get the TT-RS Motor! The Motorsport 1 better watch out!

According to Auto Express, the upcoming RS3 will come with 350 PS (257 kW / 345 bhp), 10 PS more than that engine’s configuration in the TT RS model.
The new RS3 will also come fitted with Audi’s 7-speed S tronic double-clutch gearbox.
The British magazine has published photos of some of the RS3’s interior components, non-installed, which include a speedometer that reaches 310 km/h (192 mph) and a steering wheel with aluminum paddle shifters.

LOL ya the 1M will be watching for the RS3 in its rear view mirror like rest of its Audi family.
