The Audi RS3 goes on sale in March and anticipating its arrival on the market, Audi shows us the hothatch in action with the color Sepang Blue.
The Audi RS3 is the direct answer of Audi to its competitors, with 367 hp and quattro system promises to make life dark to the Mercedes A45 AMG and at least powerful but «fun lord» BMW M135i (320hp). If until now the Stuttgart brand was isolated in the most powerful hothatch with the Mercedes A45 AMG (360hp and 4Matic) Ingolstadt's answer promises to liven things up.SEE ALSO: Audi RS3 caught in tests (w/video)
The Audi RS3 has a 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder turbo engine under the hood with 367 hp and 465Nm. The quattro system allows us to foresee levels of grip worthy of a record, but it is in terms of performance that it surprises, at least “on paper”: the traditional sprint from 0-100 km/h takes just 4.3 sec. and the top speed is 280 km/h (250 km/h with original limitation, but Audi allows the pointer to go up to 280 km/h if they are willing to pay for it).

As for prices, nothing is known yet, but it is estimated that the sales value in Germany is a little above 55 thousand euros. Is the Mercedes A45 AMG ready to face its most direct rival? We are looking forward to the comparison, until then let us have your prediction for this duel.
