Audi RS3 (TT V6)
Via e-mail kregen we een tip binnen van een oplettende surfer. Volgens de website Audi-Passion is Audi bezig met een S of RS uitvoering van de A3 welke momenteel getest wordt onder de carrosserie van de onlangs geïntroduceerde Sportback. Volgens de bron loopt de snelheidsmeter op tot 280 km/h en is de toerenteller begrensd op 7500 toeren per minuut. De V6 motor uit de TT is goed voor meer dan 300 pk, klinkt erg rauw en lijkt qua geluid op een V8. Verder is de betrapte auto voorzien van 18" RS6 velgen, dubbele uitlaat en geventileerde schijven rondom.

Why is it Audi comes out with the coolest concepts of any car company I've seen, yet their actual cars are the most conservative yawners this side of a Volvo?? shesh!

IMO the Tiptronic only RS6 was a step down from the previous two RS cars from Audi. Seems like they're puling a BMW and going from pure driving dynamics and awesome looks to excessive technology and crappy exterior design.

But, even though the outside is conservative, I do not think it boring.
And, I would like to see their LeManns concept become reality with its powerplant (drool). I love that one. The Pikes Peak is a little to neuvo for me.
