Finished in striking Progressive Red, this 2025 Audi RS 3 Sportback Carbon Vorsprung has the performance to match its incredible road presence. Carbon exterior detailing, muscular RS bodywork and 19-inch alloy wheels contrast beautifully against the red paintwork, creating one of the most distinctive specifications available on Audi’s ultimate performance hatchback. At its heart is the legendary 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder TFSI, producing a formidable 400PS and 500Nm of torque. Paired with the lightning-fast 7-speed S tronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, it launches from 0–62mph in just 3.8 seconds. Better still is the unmistakable character and soundtrack of that five-cylinder engine, with its unique firing sequence giving the RS 3 a sound unlike almost anything else on the road. The RS Torque Splitter takes the quattro system even further, actively distributing drive between the rear wheels to sharpen turn-in and give the RS 3 a much more agile character through corners. RS Torque Rear and RS Performance driving modes let you explore another side of the car, while Carbon Vorsprung adds adaptive suspension with Audi drive select to balance serious performance with everyday usability. As the flagship specification, Carbon Vorsprung is loaded with equipment. Highlights include a panoramic glass sunroof, carbon exterior detailing and door mirrors, Matrix LED headlights, head-up display, SONOS premium audio, electrically adjustable front seats with driver memory and advanced driver assistance including 3D and 360° surround-view cameras. Ferociously quick yet completely usable as a five-door everyday car, this RS 3 Carbon Vorsprung offers something genuinely special. The combination of Progressive Red, carbon detailing, 400PS five-cylinder performance and sophisticated quattro technology makes this an RS 3 that looks, sounds and drives every bit as special as it should.
