Among all the phenomenal vehicles displayed at the 2016 Paris Auto Show, we also saw the new 2017 Audi RS3 Sedan making its debut with some important enhancements.
The 2017 Audi RS3 is equipped with a five-cylinder 2.5-litre TFSI engine that produces 400 horsepower and 480 Nm of torque. It boasts a wider track for a more engaging drive. With this powertrain, it can hit the 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds and tops at 280 km/h.
On the inside, the RS3 extends a drive select system which offers 3 main driving modes: comfort, auto and dynamic. Each mode not only optimises the exhaust system but also modifies the suspension system for a thrilling driving experience.
There is another mode for ‘controlled drifting’ or the drivers can choose to switch off the electronic stability control. Other Interior amenities include the Audi virtual cockpit, Audi connect system and sport seats.
The powertrain is 26 kilograms lighter than its predecessor, however the automaker has not yet revealed if the fuel efficiency rating has been improved.
The 2017 Audi RS3 will arrive next year and it will compete with the likes of BMW M2.
