The Audi RS 3 performance edition - The exterior design

The special model shows its top position in the RS 3 portfolio with many new design elements and equipment: In addition to the wheels in motorsport design and the RS sports exhaust system with black tailpipe trim, the Audi rings and the RS 3 badge at the front and rear are also in black. This is in perfect harmony with the specific paint finishes for the RS 3 performance edition: these include the pearl-effect colors nogaro blue, arrow gray and daytona gray, as well as sebring black crystal effect and glacier white metallic. Perfection down to the last detail is also visible in the light. The standard Matrix LED headlights with darkened trim and the LED taillights feature dynamic turn signals and are staged in an RS-specific manner when unlocking and locking. The digital daytime running lights, formed by 15 LED segments, draw the "checkered flag" on the passenger side and the "3-0-0" on the driver's side when the RS 3 performance edition is opened - in reference to the limited number of units and 300 km/h top speed. When it is closed, the "R-S-3" lettering appears in the pixel field below the main headlight instead of the "3-0-0". While driving, the finish flag lights up on both sides as daytime running lights. In addition, there is an entry LED in the front doors as a recognition feature: it projects the "#RS performance" lettering onto the floor next to the vehicle.
