Depends, it always takes ages for Audi to get the RS model out...

Yeah that's why they are always pretty much outdated on release...

This 'was' the case and I was just about to say the same thing tbh. However, the new versions of the RS4, RS6, RS7 etc are no where near as long on their release as the previous models..

Either way, you won't be sat in a new RS3 for a couple of years at least (if they do actually release one that is)!

Having spent 20+ mins dribbling over the A45 at Geneva I know we will be getting one of these at work this year as a priority.  :jumping: :jumping:

The Edition 1 version with the aero bits and graphics looked amazing as did the normal one with the satin silver paint work they had on display.

The carbon dash and red ringed air vents make me want to vomit. Only IMHO though.

I'm hoping Mercedes Benz World start doing some of their driving experiences using one.  :happy2:

very very cool that engine design. Wonder what material that manifold and downpipe is made of. The engine on the stand looks like a mock engine compared to the one in the car though?

Not much space in that engine bay for a nice CAI  :chicken:

The engine on a stand was a moving mock up to show the inside of the turbo with led illuminated cutaway sections and a moving gearing box/transfer box  :happy2:

It looked like a 4" intake and removing the airbox would allow for the big cone filter  :happy2:

If I were to go with one of these next then it would have to be in Grey with the dark rims, carbon bits, Red calipers and the aero kit. However, I'm not sure about the spoiler and whether it suits the car tbh. Looks like it's been ripped straight off the back of a Focus RS..  :confused:
