This car will easily be a performance bargain in the next 4-5 years. Seeing how the 2015 version is already available at 32k, the facelift is absolutely gonna catch up to it in price. Absolutely ridiculous how you will be able to buy a car for that price that does a quarter mile in 12 seconds flat.

We should Delete or ad a remark to the Serres Race Lap. It was not on standard P Zero tyre. Continental Sport Contact 6 which is faster.

First lap time in for the RS3:

Still notably slower than the M2 though

They wrote:

  • that the damper setting was not stiff enough for a track setup,
  • difficult to handle on the limit
    • still a bit the haldex problem under power but what is new: when you lift of the gas pedal you can generate an unpleasant overstear reaction
    • Pirelli P Zero R02 had inferior grip
    • Brakes: even the ceramic discs fail on tracktest

all together you can not really capitalize on the power advantage

So what should be done IMHO is a serious brakes cooling (than you could stay with steel brakes?! -5000Euro), optional semislick (about 1000 Euro Nankang AR1?), optional superlight wheels (open end), optional trackday chassis setting (about 2-3000 Euro).
-> together about -4s on the Sachsenring?!

1:40? Damn that's barely faster than the 335hp RS3 from a couple centuries ago, and slower than a Audi TT-S which has some 90hp less?

Added Hatch

It lost comparison against BMW M2 on Sachsenring:
M2: 1.37.77
RS 3 1.40.01

BTW: Peak Power and Torque is not on 1 RPM with modern engines:
Max. 294 kW (400 PS) 5850-7000 min -1
Max. NM 480/1700 - 5850 Nm min -1
