DESCRIPTION

This immaculate, 1 Enthusiastic Previous Keeper, 497PS rally-inspired 5-cylinder Audi RS3 Saloon Sport-Edition finished in the ultra-rare Florett Silver Metallic is a real ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’. It features one of the biggest spec-lists we’ve ever offered, with almost £11,200 of factory-fit options. And that’s before we even mention the ballistic performance which has been extracted from its MRC Stage 2 Tuning Package. This is a rare combination of an of an exceptionally tuned road-car with an exquisite factory-specification.

Let’s talk about that colour, Florett Silver is without doubt the RAREST ‘Non-Exclusive’ colour from Audi’s RS3 colour palette. A colour which must be seen in the flesh to be appreciated, with its icy blue tones, we nickname it ‘Metallic Nardo Grey’ particularly in low sunlight environments, such as cloudy days. If you see it for yourself, you’ll understand why we rate it so highly.

Leaving the factory with almost £11,200 worth of Factory Optional Extras such as, Matrix LED Headlights (£895), which provides optimum lighting without dazzling other road users or the driver, by automatically dipping or turning off individual lighting diodes to create corridors of light either side of the vehicle or object in-front. Magnetic Ride Control (£1,000) allows the driver to adjust the firmness of the suspension inside the cabin (3x settings) from a compliant and comfortable ride for the daily commute to a firm and rigid ride to tackle your favourite B-road. The optional Comfort and Sound Package (£995), Florett Silver Paintwork (£575), Folding Door Mirrors (£275) & Extended Interior Package (£275), is in addition to the Audi Sport Edition Package which comes equipped with £6,535 of Factory Optional Extras. This includes Panoramic Sunroof, Sports Exhaust, Gloss Black Styling Package, 8.5J Gloss Black Staggered Wheels, Smartphone Wireless Charging, Carbon Interior Inlays & SuperSport Seats to name only a few.

The supercar-slaying abilities of Audi’s RS3 have been further improved by the wizards at MRC-Tuning who have extracted 497PS & 665NM of torque with supporting modifications. Crucially the OPF (Petrol Particulate Filter) has been removed from this RS3 (which kills the exhaust note sound of post-2019 RS3’s) and replaced with a Milltek V2 Downpipe (£1,200) which makes this RS3 sound angry! Please see the end of our walk-around video for a sound clip of the exhaust note. If this is the kind of five-cylinder fury you might enjoy, get in touch with us before this car is gone!

Amazingly, this just over 30-Month old RS has completed only 12,000 miles with Extended 5-Year Audi Warranty until June 2024 (£645), although this is limited due to the modifications on this car, many components are still warranted by Audi. This is an opportunity to pick up a rare specification RS3 Saloon, with tasteful performance modifications.

It’s truly in mint condition, we were clutching at straws when writing the condition report for this car (on our website) we could only highlight 3 minuscule stone chips to the front bumper. Displaying Factory Paintwork throughout; Buy in Confidence from Reputable Pedantic Professional Detailers & Genuine Enthusiasts with a Huge Knowledge of the Audi RS Brand. This car has been truly cared for by its previous keeper and is genuinely one of if not THE best 2.5-year old RS3’s we have ever had.

The lustre of its Florett Silver Paintwork has been amplified after our 40-Hour Detailing Process which includes a Multi-Stage Machine Paintwork Correction to all areas in our own exclusive detailing studio; we photograph our cars under 3,000 Watt of LED Light to showcase the quality of our Vehicle Preparation which is truly Market Leading.
