Would it make more sense if we changed the name to "RS3 Sedan"? It's kinda annoying to always switch between sedan and limousine when looking it up

@RickyAstle98 do you have the Sport Auto Supertest scans for this? I believe it is 08/2022, and if so could you provide them here?
Many Thanks

Exactly why I don't trust MT Figure 8 Times, one time it runs a 23.4 seconds then a 25.1 on the other...

11.6 in the 1/4 (rounding down haha) without rollout is insanely fast! In damp conditions too what a beast!

After a few independent tests and lap times it's safe to say that the Nurburgring-time of this car belongs to the land of fables. I wonder what Sport Auto will achieve but I suppose it'll be ~15 seconds slower.
Corvolet3 4y ago
Sooo... this car did a 7:35 at the Nürburgring, which is only 1 second slower than an AMG GT S and only 5 seconds slower than a BMW M4 Competition with Cup 2 tires.
Anyone wanna tell me how this isn't bullshit?
