The new Audi RS 3 - Expressive and unmistakable - Exterior and light

The design of the new Audi RS 3 is even more dynamic and powerful than that of its predecessor. At the front, the wide RS bumper, the redesigned single frame with distinctive honeycomb grille and the large air intakes characterize the expressive appearance of the compact sports car. As standard, the RS 3 rolls off the production line with flat, wedge-shaped LED headlights and LED taillights including dynamic turn signal lights. Matrix LED headlights with darkened bezels are available as an option, drawing digital daytime running lights at their outer, downward angles. With its pixel field of 3 x 5 LED segments, it provides a distinctive look: A chequered flag appears in the left headlamp as a dynamic leaving and coming home scene, and the RS 3 lettering appears on the driver's side. When driving, the finish flag lights up on both sides. There is a new design element behind the front wheel arches: an eye-catching additional air outlet. The side sills, including black inserts, have also been redesigned and, in combination with the flared wheel arches, contribute to the expressive look of the new RS 3. The track on the front axle has been widened by 33 millimeters compared with the predecessor model. At the rear axle, the Sportback is ten millimeters wider. The RS 3 rides on 19-inch cast wheels in a 10-Ypsilon spoke design as standard. The optionally available 5-Ypsilon spokes with RS branding represent true motorsport design. On request, Audi mounts Pirelli P Zero "Trofeo R" performance semi-slick tires for the first time. The sporty finish is marked by the newly designed RS-specific rear bumper with integrated diffuser and the RS exhaust system with two large oval tailpipes.
