The creative team at Ingolstadt must be chortling into their Weizenbiers – by releasing the Europe-only they’ve rubbed more salt into the wound.
If you can stand to read further without gnashing your teeth, here is what we WON’T be getting.
The strongest new contender on the European performance-hatch scene, the RS 3 has virtually the same running gear as the ; a 340 hp, 2.5L, turbo-charged inline-five cylinder mated to the S tronic dual-clutch, seven-speed transmission.
It sprints from 0-100 km in just 4.5 seconds, yet consumes only 9.1L/100 km of fuel.
Nimble on dry pavement and in the slippery white stuff, the RS 3 boasts the latest in Quattro technology – although the front-biased hatch doesn’t get the trick new torque-vectoring sports differential.
Outwardly, the RS 3 Sportback looks lower, and more potently athletic than the milder A3. Muscular carbon-fiber reinforced plastic fenders wrap around slick, 19” rims – behind which peep huge cross-drilled rotors. The tweaked chassis is 22mm wider, and sports beefier sway bars and firmed-up springs and dampers.
A cute little spoiler tops the rear hatch, while the aggressive front grill features gaping air intakes.
At the recent “Fascination of Quattro” event held at the Mecaglisse facility nestled deep in Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains, journalists were invited to drive a variety of Quattro-endowed Audis around a winding and icy track.

Only 333 Audi R8 GT will be produced, so if you are looking for one than go fast. In fact, only 10 are slated to hit US market. Recently, Audi has announced price for the model R8 GT and it will cost you $198000.
This is the latest name added in R8 super car family and with more power. Audi has dropped 220 pounds from the standard version of R8. The Audi R8 GT will hit the showrooms in 2011 summer.
It has been like this for me since I was a young girl. I honestly thought nothing else could ever affect me in that same way. Then I saw in 2008, and suddenly, I was like a schoolgirl with a new crush.
The Audi R8 is a supercar among supercars and as a woman who loves attention, this car is at the top of my list for standing out in a crowd. I live in Vancouver and see those other cars often – the R8 has uniqueness to it.
The R8 came out at a great time for Audi. Giving the brand some much needed renewed ‘street cred’ if you will.
This car is exceptionally hot. The forceful looking front nose, large side vents, the oval shaped twin tail pipes and incredibly wide back end look like nothing else. This Brilliant Red Audi R8 with all black leather interior has everybody staring. I feel like a movie star.
It would take a movie star salary to afford this handsome car. I am driving the 4.2L V8 that starts at a cool $144,000 and you can add options like a Bang & Olufsen sound system, navigation and the Carbon Sigma and side blade; bringing the total cost of my test car to just under $162,000.
Driving down the highway, kids are taking pictures from the window of their . While stopping for groceries, a lady asks to take a picture of it and she doesn’t even know what it is! Her exact words – “Oh my god! This is the sexiest car I have ever laid my eyes on!” I couldn’t agree more.
I couldn’t resist opening the door and letting her and her husband have a seat inside. His eyes were glazed over and I knew he understood what a great piece of machinery he was lowering himself into.
I realized for a brief moment that I might be taking my job for granted in recent times. I have got so caught up on the horsepower and engine size that things like the interior design has almost slipped from my thoughts.
This couple can’t stop raving about the gorgeous looking interior. All the dials, control buttons and knobs are meticulously placed with the driver in mind. The fit and finish is impeccable with flashes of chrome in all the right places .
