DESCRIPTION

With just 49 miles on the clock, this jaw-dropping 2023 Audi RS3 8Y Saloon is offered as a brand-new delivery mileage example. Since its delivery to us, complete with transportation protection from the German factory, it has been treated with our ‘detailer’s care’ and is presented in perfect condition after receiving an additional 40 hours of meticulous preparation from our in-house professional detailers including multi-stage paint correction to ensure the unparalleled finish that comes as standard with all vehicles offered by Automotive Addiction. 

At present, you cannot order an Audi RS3 8Y Saloon directly from the factory! Order books are officially closed for the foreseeable future due to all factory allocations being fulfilled, so our stocked and road-ready model means you can jump the queue and get behind the wheel of this incredible brand-new RS without the wait, while still benefitting from a comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty until March 2026.

VAT-Qualifying – meaning that business or export customers can take advantage of the ability to reclaim the VAT, reducing the cost by a massive £11,300.

Drenched in a flawless coat of Audi’s Daytona Grey – a sophisticated hue that has been associated with the RS brand since appearing on the RS6 V10 C5 in 2002 – and punctuated by the lashings of carbon-fibre that come as standard on the Carbon Black Edition, this is the ultimate stealthy incarnation of the RS3 for the most discerning of drivers.

This particular Audi RS3 8Y Saloon has been specified with over £6,400 of desirable optional extras above the standard RS3 specification. As a highly sought-after Carbon Black Edition it comes equipped with a unique gloss black roof – exclusive to the saloon models – motorsport-inspired 19in forged wheels, an RS Sport exhaust system and flat-bottom steering wheel. Of course, it’s also dripping in the lightweight weave courtesy of interior, exterior and engine bay carbon-fibre packs and features the latest Audi Digital Matrix LED headlights with Dynamic Light Sequencing LED Animation. In addition, this 8Y is specified with the £1,195 Comfort and Sound Pack, which adds a high-fidelity Bang & Olufsen Premium sound system, rear view camera and advanced keyless entry.

Whether it’s sedate family outings, high-profile business meetings or whitening your knuckles with some hot laps around your local race circuit, Audi’s range-topping RS3 models have the breadth of abilities to deliver mind-blowing performance in every scenario. And this truly stunning saloon variant represents the very pinnacle of RS3 ownership, offering practical performance motoring with real driver engagement.

Just like its 8V predecessor, a potent 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine lies under the bonnet and delivers its 400bhp and 500NM of torque through the legendary quattro all-wheel drive system. However, a brand new RS torque splitter, which can distribute up to 50 percent of the available torque between the two rear wheels, has transformed the handling dynamics over the outgoing model and makes this latest RS3 the truly engaging driver’s car that enthusiasts have been craving.

This is an excellent opportunity to own what is regarded as one of the fastest and most technologically-advanced real-world usable cars on the road, combining highly aggressive yet restrained styling, genuine supercar-levels of performance and luxurious refinement in one complete package.
