DESCRIPTION

This MotorSport Inspired, Unitronic Stage 3, 632 Horsepower Audi RS3 Saloon looks hard-edged, swollen and ready to tackle your favourite driving roads. Its rally-inspired boosted 5-cylinder Audi engine stands ready to thrill its new owner with supercar-slaying performance in a saloon-car body. As electrification takes over the car industry; enjoy this theatrical and emotional engine whilst you can.

Almost £25,000 of the best aftermarket components available for the RS3, are hidden beneath its perfectly prepared Nardo Grey body, all modifications were carefully selected with an ‘open cheque-book’ policy by its only owner from new. Its ballistic performance is an experience to savour, that TTE-700 Turbo (£5,155) spools up so fast that your instincts can barely keep-up with how ferociously this car accelerates, Unitronic’s ECU & TCU-Tune has extracted the kind of five-cylinder fury that excites you every-time you squeeze your right foot. Remarkably, its 2.5L Engine, 7-Speed S-tronic Gearbox or Quattro 4WD system is not overwhelmed, despite the amount of power being transferred onto the tarmac, this highlights the high level of engineering from Audi’s Ingolstadt factory.

Visually, this RS3 looks special. Dripping in Carbon-Fibre with an Automotive-Passion Dry-Carbon-Fibre Aerodynamic Package (£3,200), which extends to the engine-bay with a Carbon-Fibre APR Intake (£700) and a Genuine Audi Carbon-Fibre Engine Bay Pack (£1,000). Sitting low on its KW HAS fully-adjustable suspension (£500), on lightweight 19-inch O.Z. Racing Ultraleggera HLT wheels (£2,000). In the cabin, that custom Carbon-Fibre Alcantara Steering Wheel with Nardo Grey Marker (£750) is the centre piece, along with an Automotive Passion Carbon-Fibre Centre Console & Dashboard Inlays (£1,250). The combined effect is impressive, creating a car which exudes menace and personality effortlessly.

Without a doubt, this is one of the fastest RS3s available on the market right now, and it wouldn’t be in our showroom if it wasn’t in a condition to match. This is a rare opportunity to pick up an over 630bhp, 1 owner from new, 15,700mile RS3 Saloon, with a eye-watering specification at a price that doesn’t reflect the almost £25,000 of modifications (plus fitting) or immediate availability of this car. As you would expect this car has been pampered since its first registration, those who invest so much into modifications, tend to treat them with the upmost respect; often as much as their own child. Displaying Factory Paintwork throughout; get in touch with us before this car is gone

XPEL Paint-Protection-Film (PPF) has been installed since Brand-New to all impact areas (Complete Front End, Full Side Skirts, Full Boot, Lower Sections of Doors, Sections of Rear Bumper etc), this protection has resulted in NOT-ONE-STONE-CHIP on the entire paintwork. The PPF that has been installed is ‘Self-Healing’ meaning if you develop a scratch on the film, simply apply heat and it will self-heal.

Crucially, this is one of the last UK-Registered (68Plate) Non-OPF DAZA Engine RS3’s. This model is more tunable than post-2019 DNWA Engine RS3’s, therefore more desirable to those that love a modified vehicle.

Presented in unrepeatable condition for an almost 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 could not highlight any stone-chips. We have no doubt this is one of the FINEST 2018 RS3’s available in the U.K.

Leaving the factory in an iconic specification of Nardo Grey with Black Contrasts, with almost £7,200 worth of Factory Optional Extras including the must have Audi-Sport Package (£2,245) which features the RS Sports Exhaust providing the audible orchestra. Magnetic Ride Control allows the driver to adjust the firmness of the suspension by a touch of a button 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. Individual Tyre Pressure & Temperature Monitoring System gives the driver a crucial visual display of how each tyre is performing whilst on the road for complete confidence whilst behind the wheel of your pride and joy.

The lustre of its Iconic Nardo Grey 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.
