2025 Audi RS3 price and specs
Audi Australia has confirmed pricing and specifications for the updated RS3 Sportback and Sedan, both of which have seen markups of nearly $10,000. Due to arrive in showrooms from mid-2025, Audi's smallest RS model cracks the $100,000 barrier for the first time in Australia. The RS3 Sportback is priced from $104,800 before on-road costs and the RS3 Sedan is priced from $107,800 before on-roads. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Audi says the new RS3 offers "sharper styling, enhanced dynamics, and new technology" over the outgoing model, though unlike the S3 there have been no changes made to its engine, which is still a turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder producing 294kW of power and 500Nm of torque. Key changes include a revised exterior design, including an updated front grille, bumpers, as well as new LED lighting signatures. Inside there's a new flat top and bottom RS Sport leather steering wheel, while a panoramic glass sunroof is now standard. Other noticeable differences compared to the old model are new alloy wheel options, as well as new exterior paint choices. These include Progressive Red and Ascari Blue, as well as Daytona Grey with a matte effect. On paper, the RS3's drivetrain specs are unchanged. However, Audi says it has "fine-tuned the interplay between mechanical and electronic components – including the torque splitter, electronic stability control, and wheel-selective torque control – to ensure the RS 3's performance and handling dynamics are at the absolute forefront of its class". The new Audi A3 retains the five-star ANCAP safety rating of its predecessor, based on Euro NCAP tests conducted in 2020 – though the S3 and RS3 are unrated. Standard safety equipment includes: Audi RS3 equipment highlights: Carbon package: $7400 RS design package plus, red: $2150 RS design package plus, green: $2150 Standalone options include: The following exterior finishes are offered: Only Ascari Blue costs extra, at $650. Audi also offers a range of 'exclusive' finishes upon request, including a new Daytona Grey matte effect – pricing is TBC. Interested in buying an Audi RS3?

Man accused of death crash allegedly drove at almost 200mph
An Aberdeen man is accused of driving at almost 200mph before a passenger in his car later died in a fatal crash. Josh Buchan faces an allegation of causing the death of Ben Taylor, 19, after losing control of his Audi RS3 on the B9077 South Deeside Road in Aberdeen on September 25 2022. Buchan is first charged with culpable and reckless conduct in the months before the incident. Prosecutors state the 25-year-old drove the Audi, which had been 'modified by means unknown' to travel in excess of 155mph. The indictment claims Buchan went on to hit speeds of up to 194mph and drive on the wrong side of the road while he had passengers in the vehicle. This is said to have occurred on various occasions between June 12 and September 20 2022, including in Anderson Drive in Aberdeen. The death by dangerous driving charge goes on to state that Mr Taylor and another young man were in Buchan's car on September 25 2022. Buchan is again alleged to have gone at excessive speed – this time up to 118mph. It is claimed he failed to keep the motor 'under proper control' which resulted in him hitting a grass verge, leaving the road before colliding with bushes and trees. Mr Taylor is said to have been so badly hurt in the late-night crash that he passed away. The other passenger is also alleged to have been seriously injured. The case called for a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow. Lawyers for Buchan, also of Aberdeen, pleaded not guilty on his behalf. A trial was fixed and is scheduled to begin next March in Aberdeen. The case could last around six days. Buchan is on bail meantime. Following his death, Mr Taylor's employers Cargo Carrier Solutions said the world would be 'an empty place' without the teenager's 'big smile and laughter'.
