2018 Audi RS3 sedan U.S. release date
Over a century ago, Audi entered the newly-developed auto market. As the market expanded, the brand grew with it, and today, Audi is one of the world’s most popular luxury automakers. The German Big Three- Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW- offer drivers top-tier features, efficiency and power. Coming up in the next few years, Audi will embark on spreading its lineups into the U.S. The Audi RS3 is a popular model that has yet to hit the Americas. The brand-new Audi RS3 will make it across the pond for a 2017 release date, but will be marketed as a 2018 model. Read on to learn more about the model’s rumored engine and more!
2018 Audi RS3 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder engine specs
The Audi RS3 will sport the same 2.5-liter turbo engine, which already outputs an impressive amount of horsepower. While that is the case, an even more impressive engine should be making its way into the model, and it should produce a whopping 400 horsepower. The new engine should be a completely revamped piece of equipment, sharing nothing with the current engine’s build or set-up. The sedan is expected to be outfitted with a seven-speed automatic transmission and reach a top speed of either 155 or 174 miles per hour. Further details surrounding the new model and its specs should be released closer to the Beijing Auto show, where the new engine is supposedly going to make its debut.
Audi RS3 based off of the A3 Concept
If you’re wondering where this bright idea came from, let’s travel back in time to 2011. Early in the year, Audi released a 408-horsepower 2.5-liter A3 concept, which would- six years later- become the model for the RS3 sedan.
