Video: Audi RS3 Sportback In The Snow

Audi's performance offensive has resulted in a lot of impressive performance entries brought over to the United States. Cars like the TT-RS and RS5 are vehicles we are really looking forward to. One that is very unlike.y to be seen over here is the RS3 Sportback.

Audi introduced it last November in Europe to combat BMW's 1-Series M. It is the ultimate hot hatch, with a 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds owing to its 340 horsepower turbocharged engine sourced from the TT-RS. It is mated to (of course) Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system and a 7-speed twin clutch automated manual gearbox.

If those specs are enough to make you drool, you can achieve similar results from Audi's considerably less practical TT-RS.

Audi's A3 hasn't been a big seller here in the U.S. Audi just released this official of the RS3 Hatchback playing around in the snow. Its 7 minutes of pure coolness (in snow, literally) that we can't have.
