The Audi RS3 Saloon Sounds Predictably Spectacular As It Belts Around The Nordschleife

The saloon version of the Audi RS3 has been spotted undergoing testing at the Nurburgring. Sounds good, no?

The fantastic warbly exhaust note you hear in the video above is all thanks to a brand new version of Audi’s 2.5-litre turbocharged inline-five, which we’ve already seen in the TT RS. It’s likely the power output will be dropped a tiny bit, but even so, we’re looking at an Audi RS3 Sedan - as the ‘Muricans will call it - with getting on for 400bhp. And speaking of ‘Muricans, it’s understood that unlike the RS3 Sportback, the four door version will actually make it over to the United States.

So the question is: would you rather one of these, or the incoming, V6-powered RS4?

Sounds like a 5.2 V10 from the R8/Gallardo/Huracan
