Might as well spend £500 on a remap with an extra 100hp and 190mph+ top speed!£1600 to have the limiter raised to 174mph
But this was always the Audi way. Release the RS version, at the end of the cycle life. Never stopped people buying them before. Just depends on when the next RS3 is due. Can't see it being for a few years yet.
Golf has been announced to have been delayed till 2020 due to technology issues. Given the Golf / A3 share the same parts, and given the Golf is always released before the A3, an RS3 IS years away.
Golf release early 2020. A3 release mid/late 2020. Means an S3 is not likely till 2021 sometime. RS3 not likely till 12-18 months after the S3. So might not be looking at an RS3 till 2022
The new RS3 will be out 2 years after the A3 launch. Watch this space. Like the previous model.
I think the S3 would feel like a big downgrade next to an M2.^^ that’s how it’s looking for now, not a fan of the saloon wheels myself so that rules the sport edition out.
I’m hopefully testing an RS3 next weekend to see if it’s worth the cash switching out of the M2 into one. I’ve also just specced an S3 to just over £40k and part of me thinks stop blowing money on cars I barely use and stay half sensible this time

Just been speaking to my local Audi dealership and it seems that individual colour options are no more, at least for the foreseeable future anyway due to WLTP which is a real shame and sadly rules it out for me as an option. Don’t get me wrong, nothing wrong with the colours on offer by I really wanted orange or lime green. Damn....
Such a shame isn’t it. Such an amazing car deserves to be personalised and seen in a variety of colours. This is what I was deciding between...I had held off buying an RS3 in the hope that the individual colour options would be available on the new models.My first choice would also have been orange.
That’s a slight concern doc but with a 9 month old now in tow I find it sits in the garage even more as it’s too convenient to jump in the wife’s mini and go. I’ve no doubt I’ll regret selling what is probably the best handling/exciting car I’ve owned but when it’s not being used I think stuff it.
It really feels like Audi are being very lazy here.
For a run out car you would usually expect ... better prices, new colours, new packs (not limiting packs for certain options) and more kit as standard.
None of that ... just higher prices and same old done to death alloys.

That is all they delete (which is all the external badges) but there are internal RS3 badges afaik + RS written on the brakes etc.I see that Audi offer the model delete at no cost. Apart from front and rear badges, are there any others?
RS3 seems to have gone missing again from configurator. Maybe they are adding more stuff
You can get to it, just not from menu:

He say why?Was speaking to a lad from Audi the other day and they’ve supposedly suspended all new orders on the S3, RS3 and A4....again
He say why?
I gave Lincoln Audi my deposit to order an RS3 saloon yesterday. Maybe I was just in time!
Haven't been given a clear time frame yet. Will wait to pick it up until early September anyway if it arrives any earlier, need the extra year's no claims and then I'll get a 69 reg car not a 19.Interesting, any indication of how long it may take to arrive? Just thinking that some people ordered just before the PFL production stopped and had to wait a long time until the FL arrived.

We did say ages ago that it would be a surprise if they built any more RS3s given the new model A3 is due this year.

Great info there Jermaine - thanks for posting. Better get myself in gear it seems...I’m still yet to order my car, but am being told the A3 & S3 have been pulled. RS3 can still be ordered, I’m going in tomorrow to order at Bristol as the guy at Cheltenham is really hard to get hold of for some reason
Careful Snake you may miss outLet's hope they fulfill these orders and they don't pull the plug part way
Careful Snake you may miss out
