DESCRIPTION

As the leading RS3 specialist in the country, Automotive Addiction has sold hundreds of countless impressive examples of Audi’s muscular hot hatch, however none have matched the truly unicorn specification of this particular Glacier White offering.

Packed to the gills with over £16,000 of factory options, this immaculate Audi RS3 Sportback model is the most highly specified 8V we have ever sold and features highly desirable additions such as the RS carbon ceramic braking system, Matrix LED headlights, the RS Design package, the Supersports seats with diamond quilting, an high-fidelity Bang & Olufsen sound system, wireless phone charging and genuine Carbon-Fibre interior inlays to name only a few.

As one of the rare non-OPF DAZA-engined variants of Audi’s storming hot hatch, it leaves the factory with a power output of 400PS from its turbocharged five-cylinder powerplant. Combined with the optional RS Sports exhaust system with black oval tips, it sounds simply sensational, an attribute that is enhanced by the lack of restrictive particulate filters.

This factory standard RS3 remains exactly as Audi intended, with no adjustments being made to the factory engine mapping, which is audi diagnostic-verified along with the low mileage of 23,600 miles and zero launches (which we have never seen before). With just two previous RS enthusiast keepers and a comprehensive Audi main dealer service history, it has been fastidiously maintained and is presented in unmolested condition that is forecourt fresh.

As you have come to expect from Automotive Addiction, the jewel-like metallic paintwork is presented in completely flawless condition, which has been enhanced further by an additional 40 hours of meticulous preparation from our in-house professional detailers including multi-stage paint correction to ensure a truly unparalleled finish.

On top of this, to ensure the next keeper will enjoy the ownership experience of this unique machine with additional peace of mind, it also benefits from an Audi manufacturers extended warranty until January 2024.

The powerful RS ceramic front brakes – an almost £4,700 option alone. These super stoppers not only offer eye-popping braking ability, but also reduce unsprung weight, improving handling, while also eliminating annoying brake dust build up and lasting over 150k miles between replacements. 

This is an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire what is surely one of the best condition and highest specification non-OPF, DAZA-engined 8V RS3s in the country, making it an excellent long-term investment as one of the best variations of the Audi 5-cylinder powerplant.
