Yeah I'm sure that someone posted that they would almost be a centre exit.

Looks like it will be a very mild face lift - similar to the Merc A45s.
If they don't re-introduce contrast stitch to the interior cabin they need shooting.

If the FL A45s is anything to go by, the RS3 won’t change much.

That is the mildest facelift I have seen on a car.
No incentive for pre-facelift owners to move to that car at all.

You watch Glenn, it’ll be exactly the same scenario come Fl RS3 8Y release.

I’m imagining this will be released later in the year and available to order Q1/2 next year and then a final hurrah in the form of a Performance variant available Q3/4. We’ll see though!

More so with Audi seeing how lazy Merc have been with the A45s.
Expect little for the face lift and then anything more is a bonus.

That grille looks even more difficult to clean !

Pointless even worrying about it.

Agreed. And with the rumor that they're changing physical buttons to be like the Golf 8, there's not much reason to change I don't think. I might be swayed by a Performance model, but I think that's about it. And I think that would need to be 470-500 bhp out of the box to have me part with my money.

Lol like the ‘performance model’ they released already that we can’t get with a measly few HP extra.
No way are Audi gonna release a car with 70 hp jump, if they follow a pattern over the years, most I bet will be 30hp.

Even if they do decide to I bet it’ll be a 75k+ car.

Yeah, I imagine you're totally right. Even the RS6/7 only got like 20bhp right? So a smaller engine with lower output must be a chunk less and hardly worth the effort. But I guess I'll wait and see, but won't be holding my breath. And yes, I imagine it'll also be stupidly expensive and easily £75k.

The new front 'bumper' looks a bit squared off around the IC inlets, maybe they're trying to follow the new stunning M2 design
