It features one of the biggest spec-lists we’ve ever offered, with almost £10,000 of factory-fit options. And that’s before we even mention the ballistic performance which has been extracted from almost £9,000 of selected modifications. This is a rare combination of an of an exceptionally tuned road-car with an exquisite factory-specification.

Its gut-churning 563PS power output is courtesy of an APR Stage 2 ECU & TCU-Tune, that has extracted the kind of five-cylinder fury that excites you every-time you turn the key. Feeding the turbocharger is the beautifully crafted Eventuri Carbon-Fibre Stage 2 Intake System with Forge Turbo Elbow (£1,800), forced-air is cooled via the Wagner EVO3 Intercooler (£1,600), whilst exhaust gasses travel through the APR MotorSport Primary Downpipe (£1,200) providing that addictive audible orchestra that can only be associated with an RS3.

Leaving the factory with what we regard as the ‘holy-trinity’ of Panoramic Sunroof, Matrix LED Headlights & RS Interior Design Package (totaling almost £2,900) These options are rarely found together on an RS3 in addition to a further £7,000 of factory fit options such as, RS Sportback Exhaust, SuperSport Seats, Comfort & Sound Pack and Wireless Phone Charging plus much more as listed below.

The optional Catalunya Red is a distinctive colour with a strong link to supercars and performance, that’s exactly why Audi chose it for the RS3’s international press launch. Capturing its deep tones and lustre was a tough challenge for our professional photographer, even under our 3000-Watt lighting system! It is a colour that is constantly changing colour tone between dark red & sunset orange in different lighting environments, be rest assured that this is a finish that would never become tiresome. If you see it for yourself, you’ll understand why we rate it so highly.

We’ve looked after this car since we first supplied it in early 2020, and it’s only had two RS Enthusiast owners. The service history is comprehensive, with big-ticket items like gearbox, rear-diff and spark-plugs completed before schedule. As you would expect this car has been pampered since its first registration, those who invest £9,000 plus fitting into modifications, tend to treat them with the upmost respect; often as much as their own child.

Crucially, this is an DAZA-Engine Non-OPF model (Petrol Particulate Filter). This model is more desirable than post-2019 RS3’s that come equipped with OPF’s in the exhaust system (which kills the exhaust note sound) to conform with European Emissions Law change in Late 2018 (WTLP). As a result its 5-Cylinder Soundtrack is un-muffled through its £1,000 optional Audi RS Sport Exhaust system! As electrification takes over the car industry; enjoy this theatrical and emotional engine whilst you can.

Presented in unrepeatable condition for a 3.5-year-old car as our detailed photos show. It’s truly in mint condition, we were clutching at straws when writing the condition report for this car (on our website). We have no doubt this is one of the FINEST 2018 RS3’s available in the U.K.

The lustre of its Signature Catalunya Red 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.
