Well it does not really exist yet but take the engine from the TTRS and put it in an S3 and volia!

Just a rendering



According to a recent report, Michael Dick, a member of Audi's board of management for technical development has stated that the company is considering building a new RS3.

Power would come from Audi's 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged engine, with 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, which has launched on the recently unveiled TT-RS . Considering that the proposed RS3 would probably weigh about as much as the TT-RS, a 0-62 mph time of around 4.6 seconds sounds reasonable as does the suggested 179 mph (288 km/h) top speed.

With the next generation A3 not scheduled to be unveiled until 2011, the possible launch of the RS3 is still several years away should the model be given the green light in the first place.

Here's a much better pic... in my opinion. Hawt.


FYI. There are larger screen saver sizes of the above on the 'net if you're interested.

Except that hood intake and fenders that large are probably doubtful

Re: M1 Anyone?

I love how you guys are chosing a car that doesn't even exist yet

Re: M1 Anyone?

not impressed unless the seats or something are crazy as freddys 135 was damn sick inside for me.. steering wheel and seats were amazing.. tune it up and there you go
135 IMO is an M1 if you like..

LOL Freddy's 135 ah heheh

My lease ends just in time for this new M1, so i will for sure be taking a look at it...

My car is 400Hp about 429TQ, however, with the New engine running 350 stock, all that tells me is that with Dinan working with BMW there is for sure going to be some nice stage 2 upgrades coming shortly after that.... i cant see having any less gains then my upgrade ( M1 450HP yummmy)

For me i would like to see this new car with an LSD, and maby some crazier seats then my car, im also expecting it to have fatter rubber in the back 255 is not enough.. Besides that the Car is SICK!! as is...

Re: M1 Anyone?

I really hope they change the headlights, add a cage, remove the rear seats, wider lighter wheels, conventional tires, sport seats, lighter glass, cf hood, roof, trunk, lsd, 3000ish lbs and more than 350hp.

Re: M1 Anyone?

something always bothered me about its looks. I mean, it looks great from certain angles but then from others... it looks odd.

What really bothers me about the design aspect of this car is the side skirts. It makes the car look like as if it is sagging or something. BMW's used to be the cleanest looking car on the market with its razor sharp lines and bends, but now, it seems they all (all models) have this unusual sloppiness about them.

Re: M1 Anyone?

I agree the lower door ridge/line thing is weird that way.

Would rather see a Real M1, not some imposter.

2 doors, low, sleek, mid-engined, fast.
