Audi: Miracle of performance - The Audi RS 3 Sportback

[Edu19san]

i dont like the climate control...

[ppvpz]

Amazing!!

[lovely8379]

am getting one asap ;-)

[azeriboy001]

SUUPA AUDI BESSST!!!!

[babasdadda]

5 cylinders + Quattro = sex on wheels

[fnagel]

The 2 dislikes just bought a Mercedes.

[bigbosss69]

Defintely I will get one! :D

[runxxeroxx]

Against to new concept of Quattro, this is extremely ugly car. than i believe it's much more cost than mitcubishi lancer evoX, which front end is very similar to quattro concept

[TheRealCuefa]

Omg... i wonder if the narrator is from germany perhaps...? "Gzenon headlights"....!? *lol.

Nevertheless, this will be a mindblowing experience! If this is half as nice as the RS5 then i'll just have to order one...

[qqqqqqqqqqqqqqq51]

the 1 dislike is a bmw fan

[hydranth]

GEIL!

[MrLowAltitude]

Audi, i love you guys for building 5-cylinder engines again!

[topotamadresons]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW AMAZING!!!

Audi Brilliance

[ViperVenomACR]

too bad there is no manual

[Snipedout209]

@ViperVenomACR it is manual lol

[retetikker]

OK Audi, you discovered it is possible to put a 5 cylinder engine an A3...

WHY IS IT TOO HARD TO PUT THIS ENGINE IN AN A6!!!

[Snipedout209]

@retetikker the A6 is much larger than the A3 dude the A6 can't run on a 5 cylinder there wouldn't be enough push.

[Snipedout209]

@Snipedout209 plus the A6 is heavier

[dunti21]

@Snipedout209 with 450 Nm of torque I don't think this engine has any problem pulling anything

[Amidat]

@Snipedout209 - the engine is stronger than the 6cylinder 3.0T used in the A6... the problem is that it won't fit because of how it's mounted.

[Amidat]

@retetikker - because this is a transversely mounted engine... can't fit in the A6

[tiestoforever]

Anybody knows which kind quattro generation this Audi is going to have? Is it like in RS5 or torsen based? Or in the worst case, maybe haldex based?

[Snipedout209]

@tiestoforever most likely torsen based

[Amidat]

@tiestoforever - this is haldex based.... this is the same platform VW uses... the bigger Audi's use their own platform... and those are starting to move away from Torsen to an Audi specific designed.

[tiestoforever]

@Amidat what is the information source? IMHO haldex is just wrong. Well, modern haldex systems use normal ratio with 15% of torque to back wheells which is already something compared to primary haldex systems which has 100% in front and rear is only "on demand". What normal split on this new rs3?

[Amidat]

@tiestoforever - well first - you can check audi's site. I don't know the torque split...but I know it's primarily a fwd base haldex. This uses the same platform as a Golf. All transverse Audi's use Haldex...which means the A3 and TT. Bigger Audi's are all moving away from Torsen anyway.

[tiestoforever]

@Amidat yes, the transverse engine is the problem, therefore torsen can't be used. IMHO torsen is still a perfect solution for quattro models, but EDL should be more effective. I am not sure about torque vectoring though. We'll see how it wil perform in comming years.

[Amidat]

@tiestoforever - EDL is not as effective as mechanical locks...but Audi wanted to have more nimble handling and better fuel consumption so they needed to lighten weight... that's why they switched to EDL. Everything is a compromise. The new quattro differential is lighter than Torsen and supposedly even more efficient. Yeah - I'm not sure about the torque vectoring yet....we'l have to see.

[anuprai1087]

it's stunning!!!

[TheEryk03]

look so awesome, i love it!

[S1l3ntHunt3r94]

in front it's loks like rs5
