According to information given by the manufacturer, the new Audi RS3 will produce 394 hp and 480 Nm of torque. This power is thanks to a 2.5 TFSI engine – the most powerful 5-cylinder engine ever which has empowered a series production Audi. Moreover, the engine is now 26kg lighter than the predecessor, making the sedan much earsier to drive and control.
