DESCRIPTION

JUST COME INTO STOCK – Audi RS3 Sportback Nardo is new into stock at Automotive Addiction and has started its journey through our innovative industry leading (up-to-60-hour) labour-intensive preparation process that is designed to satisfy even the most pedantic of enthusiasts. Please read our ‘60-hour Pre-Sale Preparation Process’ on our website or contact us for more information.

The Audi RS3 offers an unrivalled fusion of performance, practicality, luxury, compactness, and legendary four-wheel drive technology, which has ensured that this model has remained at the cutting edge of the segment, and this mesmerising 2018 RS3 8V Sportback, equipped with a aluminium block DAZA engine is surely the pick of the bunch. Unrestricted by any form of exhaust particulate filter, it offers the richest version of this most orchestral of engine soundtracks from its iconic 2.5-litre, five-cylinder turbocharged powerplant.

Leaving the factory with over £9,000 of must-have factory optional extras such as the ultra-rare RS interior design package (only available for 2017/18 cars) which adds Alcantara and Extended Leather to the interior with lashings of red elements throughout the cabin. The £2,250 Audi-Sport Pack adds an throaty RS Sports exhaust system, individual tyre pressure monitoring system and RS Magnetic Ride Control, which is a must-have whilst navigating down an bumpy UK B-Road. Elsewhere rare Matrix LED headlights, wireless phone charging, reverse camera, Advanced Key, gloss black exterior details, supportive Supersport seats with red diamond-stitching, and a high fidelity Bang & Olufsen 14-speaker sound system with subwoofer.

Professional tuning from world-renowned MRC Tuning, has resulted in 484PS and 699NM of torque. This impressive increase in power is thanks to a MRC Stage 1 engine and gearbox calibration, combined with an Forge Motorsport intake system, unleashing the true potential of the DAZA 2.5L Turbo engine without any exhaust modifications, meaning you can still slip under the radar if you wish, with almost 500PS at your disposal.

Stunningly presented in a flawless coat of Nardo Grey paint, which is often considered the definitive colour for a high-performance Audi. The cultured battleship grey pigment complementing the aggressive lines of the bodywork to produce a truly striking machine. As always with cars offered for sale by Automotive Addiction, this example will be further enhanced by an additional 40 hours of meticulous preparation by our in-house detailing team, including multi-stage paint correction to ensure a truly unrivalled finish prior to sale.

Offered with just 35,900 miles from new, and complete with a comprehensive Audi main dealer and specialist service history, including a recent major service which included the replacement of the front transfer box for a new genuine unit at the cost of £3,500 (common problematic issue on Audi RS3s). There can be very few such painstakingly-maintained examples in the country.

But while it may pack a serious punch, it’s certainly not been abused, our deep-dive diagnostic, as part of our pre-purchase inspection has revealed that launch control has only ever been used six-times as shown on the transmissions launch counter. The Audi approved diagnostic tool has also confirmed that the mileage showing on the odometer is authentic confirming that this RS3’s mileage is genuine, for complete piece of mind for any prospective buyers.

Please view the comprehensive video for more information on this standout example and be sure to contact us without delay if you wish to discuss this vehicle or secure it with a deposit.
