Audi Rs3 2014 Review

With all that the 2014 audi a5 is a wonder to drive.
Audi rs3 2014 review. Bar the wltp enforced changes the audi rs 3 sportback remains the same thunderous hot hatch it always was. Audi first offered the rs3 for sale with a 335bhp five cylinder turbocharged engine back in 2014 when the car was billed as the most powerful hot hatch in mainstream production. With the seven speed s tronic automatic gearbox linked to a launch control system its all dangerously attainable too. The rs3s mechanicals and mqb platform are largely shared with the 65875 audi tt rs including the thrilling 400 hp turbocharged 25 liter five cylinder.
It boasts a redline of 6900 rpm and the rip of its distinctive exhaust note sounds amazing the whole way there. A seven speed dual clutch automatic routes torque to all four wheels. The rs 5 coupe is joined by a convertible version. This audi is pure awesome.
It may be hard to say exactly when the letters rs on the rump of an audi stopped identifying the german firms particular performance machine of the moment and started distinguishing a model in a performance sub brand but it plainly happened some time ago. Find new and used cars. Whats new for 2014. The rs 5 cabriolet.
The latest rs 3 performs even more strongly and in 2017 was upgraded from 362bhp to a scarcely believable 395bhp. Its 0 62mph sprint also lives in a more serious part of the market. And with the bmw m3 having ditched its epic v8 in favor of a turbocharged inline 6 cylinder the 2014 rs 5 may be the most appealing v8 powered performance car under 100000. Audi quotes 41 seconds 02sec quicker than the old rs3 and we suspect itll dip below that easily.
Thankfully audi of america has been listening to requests and when the little rs3 came to our shores its melodious 25l turbo 5 cylinder engine quickly won over the hearts of enthusiasts around. The easy answer would be 1999 when the original rs2 avant was. Engines range from the surprisingly strong turbocharged 4 cylinder increased to 220 horsepower to the 30 liter supercharged v6 of the s5 with 333 horsepower to the 42 liter v8 of the rs 5 with 450 horsepower. In our testing the rs3 hit 60 mph in 35 seconds.
