Audi RS 3 Sportback and RS 3 Sedan - Top values ​​for acceleration and top speed - the 2.5 TFSI

With its five-cylinder high-performance engine, the Audi RS 3 is unique in its segment. The 2.5 TFSI has won the “International Engine of the Year” award nine times in a row. In the new generation of the compact sports car, the unit is now more powerful than ever before. The decisive factor here is the torque that has increased to 500 Newton meters - 20 Newton meters more than in the predecessor. It is between 2,250 and 5,600 revolutions per minute. The new RS 3 models achieve the broad performance plateau, which reaches up to 7,000 revolutions per minute, from 5,600 revolutions. With an output of 294 kW (400 PS), they sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.8 seconds thanks to Launch Control. That is three tenths faster than before. The top speed, which is electronically limited to 250 km / h, can optionally be increased to 290 km / h - as is the acceleration, a record in the compact segment. In the NEDC cycle, the RS 3 Sedan3 and the RS 3 Sportback2 consume an average of between 8.8 and 8.2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. The impressive propulsion of the multiple award-winning five-cylinder is appropriately orchestrated by a new exhaust system. For the first time in the RS 3, it has a fully variable flap control that enables intermediate positions and thus diversifies the sound characteristics even more broadly. The differences can be experienced in the modes of the Audi drive select driving dynamics system. For example, the flaps open much earlier in the dynamic and RS Performance settings - the emotional sound components are even more pronounced. The optional RS sports exhaust system brings out the unmistakable sound of the five-cylinder engine even more clearly
