Never have been interested in Audi's besides the R8, but this has peaked my interest.

Would be crazy if it made it into production.

- 100hp more than an M3/M4

- 37tq more than an M3/M4

- 134lbs lighter than an M3/M4

- AWD but probably will come with an Auto Transmission

If this car enters production with these types of figures (which I doubt), more than the M3/4 will have to be worried.

Talk about cannibalization.

Even if this RS3 makes it into production, it won't be this year for sure and soon at all...
Too good specs for productive car

no, but it is a turbo and we all know how awful those are....to say nothing of the noise...

Anyway, that is insane. Probably aimed more at being an M2 killer, but will be interesting to see (by the time the F8x model is done) just how ridiculous either BMW or any of the big mod houses make it in the end....

We'll see if it makes it to production.

I was quite disappointed that the RS4 never made it Stateside.

Also, the W205 C63 "S" Model will likely have 510 horsepower, 500 lb-ft of torque, and weigh within 100 lbs of the F80/F82.

I was too harsh with my initial comments. I'm just disappointed in Audi for bailing on bringing the RS4 here to the States.

I'm never harsh, because I'm always right. And four wheel drive in a car that's supposed to be fun?

Oh come on! They can be fast, but they are driven by lifeless dicks, the whole range of them. I should know.

Sorry to break the news to you, but BMWs are driven by friendless dicks, so don't expect a big change when you get your hornet.

This has no chance for production since it has almost as much power as as RS7.

There almost surely will be an RS3 sedan though, and it will likely have nearly 400hp. It won't be as light as this concept though. But it will still probably be a compelling car, much like the CLA45.

You promise? If you do the pinky swear, I'll drive down there when i get this to the right continent, and I teach you how to drink beer, and then you indeed have seen a skandinavian drinking beer, since I'm totally bad at it.

I'll just add Verben as a sight for my tour, I always wanted to go there, and since I'll doing this one the whole honeymoon style (except I forget to take the husband or the kids with me) everything beautiful is on the list!
