Audi RS 3 Competition Limited Debuts as 750-Unit Farewell to Five-Cylinder

Audi frames it as a collector's send-off for the five-cylinder ahead of Euro 7 rules.

Overview

  • Only 750 examples will be built worldwide in Sportback and sedan forms, retaining the 394 hp 2.5-liter five-cylinder with a 0–100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds and roughly 180 mph top speed.
  • Factory-fit adjustable coilover suspension with manual tuning, a stiffer rear anti-roll bar, and standard carbon-ceramic brakes target sharper track-ready handling.
  • Acoustic tweaks reduce firewall insulation and add an RS sport exhaust with earlier-opening valves to emphasize the engine’s trademark note.
  • Design changes include matte carbon-fiber aero pieces, darkened matrix LED headlights that animate in the 1-2-4-5-3 firing order, and 19-inch Neodymium gold wheels.
  • Europe pricing is €100,680–€102,680 and UK pricing starts at £92,855, U.S. availability is unconfirmed, and Australia reports just 18 cars allocated with pricing to follow.
