The new RS3 benefited from an updated vehicle dynamics controller with a new algorithm, improving the connection between stability control, brake vectoring torque, torque splitter, and adaptive dampers. These technical improvements allowed the car to apply power earlier on corner exits and maintain high speed on subsequent straights.
The Audi RS3 will be available for orders in August 2024, with deliveries starting in October. While the current price starts at around $73,000, a significant increase is expected when the new version is launched in the UK.
