Audi launched the new RS3 earlier last month, with a tweaked design, brand new, four-wheel drive system, 395bhp from the five cylinder engine and a starting price of £50,900. Coming in either the Sportback and Saloon options.

The third generation RS3 is now available to order from this week, with first customer deliveries taking place from November 2021. The RS3 Sportback is £50,900 and the Saloon is £51,900. Both come with 395bhp, a 0-60mph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 174mph. The new RS3 also has a Drift mode, following the trend of the Ford Focus RS and the new Golf R.

The engine here is a 2.5-litre turbocharged five cylinder, mated to a seven speed DSG gearbox. This new car has more torque than the second generation, at 369lb ft, 20 more than before.

The new Audi RS3 is on sale now.
