According to carwow and other car forums, this car has hue issues with a slipping clutch. Like when it's going up a hill like in an underground garage. Definitely a deal breaker when you must spend over 80k for a hot hatch.

Hello Humana. Hello everyone.
I hope I have this car in the right place on the Fastest Laps website, Humana.
Please move it if I haven't. Thank you.
Autocar recently tested 2025 an Audi RS3 Sportback Carbon Vorsprung.
Here is my summary:
I love its style.
Autocar gave 4.5 stars on Design and Engineering.
Believe it or not, it has a 5 cylinder engine.
And that is the last of its kind in the world.
Or so Autocar says. 😎
They gave the interior 3.5 stars.
Performance received 4.5 stars.
Here are the acceleration figures in miles per hour.
0-30 = 1.4. That sure is quick!
0-40 = 2.0.
0-50 = 2.8.
0-60 = 3.6. Excellent.
0-70 = 4.7.
0-80 = 5.9.
0-90 = 7.3.
0-100 = 9.0. Excellent again!
0-110 = 11.0.
0-120 = 13.3.
0-130 = 16.2.

The Audi RS3 is placed in 3rd place overall.
Number 1 is the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N.
Number 2 is the BMW M340 xDrive Touring.
Number 4 is the closest rival to the RS3.
It's the Mercedes-AMG A45 S 4Matic+.
All 3 of those cars are cheaper than the RS3.
And that's it from me.
I wish you all safe driving.
Flt158.
