The Audi RS 3 performance edition - The interior design

The special model also makes its exclusivity clear in the interior. For the first time in the RS 3, there are bucket seats as standard, which provide excellent lateral support during dynamic cornering. As with the outer rear seats, their seat centers feature honeycomb stitching with blue contrasting stitching. The material used here is Dinamica microfiber, combined with Perlnappa leather on the side bolsters. Below the headrest, the black funnel trim integrates a large "RS lettering" and, like the back of the seat backrest finished in matte carbon, emphasizes the sportiness of the special model. In addition to the all-blue belt bands, the contrasting stitching on the center armrest, door armrests and steering wheel is also in blue. The same applies to the floor mats and the trunk mat in black velor, which are also adorned with RS lettering. For better orientation during sporty driving, the Alcantara steering wheel, which is flattened at the bottom, has a 12 o'clock marking - also in blue. Specific to the special model, the background image in the 10.1-inch touch display has a carbon look and shows the characteristic ignition sequence of the 2.5 TFSI "1-2-4-5-3". The so-called RS monitor also integrates displays of coolant temperature, engine and transmission oil as well as g-forces and tire pressures. At the same time, the Audi virtual cockpit plus provides information on performance-relevant data such as lap times, g-forces and acceleration in seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, 0 to 200 km/h, quarter mile and eighth mile.
