Upgraded mega-hatch gets sharpened look and is claimed to possess greater agility
Audi has released the first images of the upcoming RS3 facelift, which is promised to bring an uprated chassis and better handling. The upgraded car gets brake torque vectoring, which is said to improve agility and reduce steering effort at the turn-in point of a bend. The software underpinning the torque vectoring and stability control systems, plus the adaptive dampers, has also been updated to better deal with lateral forces.
The rear end has been simplified, losing its large false grille but gaining new lights with graphics resembling those on the Q6 e-tron. The mid-section of the lower bumper has also gained a prominent prong, which likely brings an aerodynamic benefit. Inside, the RS3 gets a new square-shaped steering wheel. The images of the new RS3 were released in celebration of it claiming a Nürburgring Nordschleife lap record for compact cars, rounding the 12.9-mile circuit in 7min 33.123sec.
