DESCRIPTION

When it comes to Audi’s RS3 hyper hatch and its saloon-bodied brethren, the non-OPF DAZA engine cars are highly prized by performance aficionados for their superior sonic symphony that comes by virtue of the unrestricted flow of exhaust gases from the iconic 2.5-litre turbocharged engine. Only cars made between 2017 and 2018 were equipped with this ability to let the legendary powerplant sing to its most potent level, so finding a high specification one for sale is getting increasingly difficult as the years go by. Add in low mileage, unmodified, low previous owners and what is arguably the most desirable colourway of Nardo grey and black, and your chances drop to virtually zero.

However, not only have we found such an automotive unicorn, but its immaculate condition, excellent factory specification and unparalleled Audi main dealer service history put it on another level entirely.

With a mere 13,814 dealer-verified miles from new, and just one previous enthusiast keeper, this completely original, unmodified example has to be seen to be believed. It’s paintwork may be over five-years old, but it is completely blemish free, making it an ideal candidate for the application of self-healing XPEL paint protection film. This is a service that can be completed here at Automotive Addiction to preserve the flawless finish that has been amplified by over 40 hours of meticulous preparation from our in-house professional detailers, including multi-stage paint correction.

It also comes with over £8500 of must-have factory extras, including rare options such as Audi’s Matrix LED headlights, the Audi Sport pack with RS Sports exhaust and Audi Magnetic Ride Control, the Comfort & Sound pack with an audiophile quality Bang & Olufsen sound system and extended leather interior with supportive Supersport seats.

But not only is this an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire such a rare and desirable example of Audi’s hottest mid-size saloon, it also offers the unique chance to be covered by Audi’s factory extended warranty. That’s right, due to its verified status as never previously modified, plus the full main dealer history, for £80 per month or £900 per year, this example is eligible for the same extensive manufacturer warranty as if it was brand new, giving any new owner the peace of mind to fully enjoy this amazing machine to the full with the same back-up as if it had just rolled off the production line.
