Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic.

This 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback brings serious RS performance together with the practicality of a five-door Sportback body. Finished in Mythos Black Metallic, it has covered 2,160 km and pairs a petrol TFSI engine producing 294 kW (400 HP) with Audi quattro drive and an S tronic automatic transmission. The result is a specification focused on rapid response and confident traction, while retaining the everyday usability expected of the RS 3 Sportback.

The performance hardware is supported by a 500 Nm torque figure, available from 2,250 to 5,600 rpm, and a stated 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds. Audi drive select allows the vehicle's character to be adjusted to suit different driving conditions, while progressive steering and the RS sport exhaust system reinforce its performance-oriented intent. A top speed of 250 km/h and Euro 6e exhaust classification complete the published technical data.

Its equipment specification gives the cabin a distinctly driver-focused feel. Fine Nappa leather with a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing covers the upholstery, complemented by RS sport seats, heated front seats and electrically adjustable front seats with memory for the driver. Pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with massage functionality adds long-distance comfort, while the flat-top and flat-bottom three-spoke sport steering wheel includes shift paddles and control satellites for convenient access to key functions.

Technology is equally prominent. The Audi virtual cockpit plus features an additional RS layout, and the head-up display helps keep relevant information in the driver's sightline. Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, a SONOS 3D premium sound system and Audi phone box light provide a well-equipped multimedia environment. A panoramic glass sunroof, privacy glass and ambient lighting package pro add further distinction to the interior.

Outside, the car combines RS styling with practical features. The black exterior styling package plus, gloss-black RS exterior elements, darkened Matrix LED headlamps and RS projection lighting give the Mythos Black finish a purposeful appearance. The 19-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in silk matt grey are matched to 265/30 and 245/35 R19 tyres. Everyday convenience is addressed by an electrically opening boot lid with gesture control, a storage and luggage compartment package and a convenience key.

Parking and safety support include 360-degree cameras, park assist plus with a 360-degree display, Audi pre sense front, a multifunction camera and front side airbags with head airbag protection. With its combination of compact Sportback packaging, premium appointments and genuinely high-performance mechanicals, this RS 3 is configured to offer an engaging driving experience without giving up the comfort and versatility of a usable road car.
