Audi RS3 - take two

Audi has decided to build an additional 250 Audi RS3 models for sale in the UK. Priced at the same £39,930 as before.

It looks like Audi has found an extra 250 5-pot 2.5 litre engines lurking in the back of a cupboard, so it’s decided to churn out an extra run of 250 RS3s for the UK.

The Audi RS3 take two for 2012 will see the extra cars arrive in Audi’s UK showrooms in early 2013 at the same £39,930 price tag as they were when Audi delivered the first 500 RS3s in 2011.

For your almost £40k you get the hottest Audi A3 going with 335bhp and 332lb/ft of torque to deliver stunning performance of 4.6 seconds 0-62mph and a limited top speed of 155mph.

Titivations to turn a prosaic A3 in to a supercar crushing RS3 include a set of 19″ alloys, ‘look at me’ carbon fibre wheel arches and a roof spoiler. Inside you’ll get leather sports seats with silver stitching, a flat-bottomed RS steering wheel, Climate and MMI with DVD SatNav.
