Following the unveiling of Audi’s RS3 sedan at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, the Ingolstadt carmaker released its sportback version to be premiered at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, with the same 394-hp 2.5-liter TFSI engine, making it the most powerful compact hatchback to be put into production.
“The Audi RS 3 Sportback offers our customers an attractive introduction to the RS world. Since 2011, the sporty compact model has proved itself extremely successful on the market. And with the new five-cylinder engine, the Audi RS 3 Sportback is at the head of its class and continuing that strong track record,” said Audi Sport Chief Executive Officer Stephan Winkelmann.
