New Audi RS 3 delivers unmatched sportiness

The new contract hire Audi RS 3 delivers an unmatched combination of incredible sportiness and handling, and yet is still suitable for everyday use.

For those drivers who want to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.8 seconds, then this is an impressive car for you.

It utilises a high-performance 2.5-litre TFSI engine with five cylinders that produces 400 PS with torque of 500Nm.

The RS 3's top speed is restricted to 155 mpg but opt for the Vorsprung or Launch Edition models, and that will increase to 174 mph.

The Audi RS 3 car lease model delivers best in class performance for speed and acceleration.

There's even good performance available in the low rev range.

There's also a torque splitter fitted as standard to replace the previous rear axle differential.

This will help ensure that the right level of torque is distributed along the rear axle and Audi has fitted an electronically controlled multiple disc clutch on each of the driveshafts.

This delivers a dynamic driving experience and improved levels of agility and control.
