Do you really need an RS3?
On paper, the Audi S3 Sedan TFSI Quattro sits between the everyday A3 and the fire-breathing RS3. It might just be the sweet spot. With a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder pushing 245kW and 420Nm through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and Quattro all-wheel drive, the S3 hits 100km/h in just 4.7 seconds. It’s properly quick. But more importantly, it’s usable quick.
Is it as wild as an RS3? No.
Is it more than fast enough for petrolhead wannabes? Absolutely.
This might be the grown-up performance sedan that makes the most sense right now.
