DESCRIPTION

This Stealthy, MotorSport Inspired, Audi RS3 Sportback looks hard-edged, swollen, and ready to tackle your favourite driving roads. 450 horsepower & an colossal 749NM of torque from its rally-inspired 5-cylinder Audi engine stands ready to thrill its new owner with supercar performance in a hatchback-car body.

The £21,300 of aftermarket modifications were chosen with care and all fitted in-house by us for the previous keeper of this wonderful RS3. Most notable of those being the XPEL-STEALTH Paint-Protection-Film (PPF) which has been installed to the entire vehicle (£4,100) to completely change its Daytona-Grey finish from gloss-to-satin, with contrast Java-Green Brake Calipers and Badging (£640). The Maxton Designs Low-line Bodykit with lip spoiler adds heaps of aggression to the exterior flowing beautifully with its bulging RS arches which look even more swollen thanks to a low-stance on its MSS fully-adjustable suspension-springs, with meaty Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres on multi-spoke 19-inch O.Z. wheels (£4,200). The combined effect is impressive, creating a car which exudes menace, character, and exclusivity effortlessly.

Its satin-finish Daytona Grey body is equipped with some of the best aftermarket components available for the RS3, MRC Stage 2 ECU & TCU-Tune has extracted the kind of five-cylinder fury that excites you every-time you turn the key. Feeding the turbocharger is the LEYO Motorsport Intake System (£510), forced-air is cooled via the Forge MotorSports Intercooler (£1,200) flowing into the inlet manifold at a higher rate thanks to the Forge MotorSports Throttle Body (£390), whilst a higher-pressure Autotech Fuel Pump (£500) supplies the cylinders with faster fuel-flow for combustion. Exhaust gasses travel through the Scorpion Primary Downpipe and Milltek Secondary Pipes (£1,000) providing that addictive audible orchestra that can only be associated with an RS3.

Genuine Audi RS3 2017-onwards Facelift Full LED rear light cluster with Dynamic Swooping Indicators (£1000) and Alcantara Steering Wheel (£1,200) retrofit has made a profound difference to the rear-end and cabin looking sharp and modern in 2021. The custom-trimmed Alcantara centre-console kneepads (£400) and Carbon Interior Inlays (£800) adds exclusivity to the cabin.

This iron-blocked monster must be heard to be believed! (Please see the end of our walk-around video) It’s a mechanical symphony of five-cylinder music, the like of which will probably never be repeated again.

We’ve looked after this car since we first supplied it in 2019, and it’s only had three RS Enthusiast owners. The service history is comprehensive, with big-ticket items like revised fuel injectors with carbon clean (£2,000), S-tronic gearbox, rear-diff and spark-plugs all completed earlier than recommended by Audi’s service schedule.

Unlike other Paint-Protection-Film’d cars on the used market, we can accurately describe the condition of the paintwork underneath the film as it was us that installed the Stealth-PPF for its previous keeper. This RS3 has never had any paintwork from new and displays a factory original finish; this is guaranteed by us. It’s genuinely one of, if not THE best 6-year old RS3’s we have ever had. The XPEL PPF is in perfect condition and is ‘Self-Healing’ meaning if you develop a scratch on the film, simply apply heat and it will self-heal.

As you would expect, this car has been pampered by its Audi RSOC keepers since its first registration, those who invest £21,300 plus fitting into modifications, tend to treat them with the upmost respect; often as much as their own child. Buy in Confidence from Reputable Pedantic Professional Detailers & Genuine Enthusiasts. We have no doubt this is one of the FINEST Modified Pre-FL RS3’s available in the U.K.
