Five cylinders, zero compromises
Drive an RS 3

Five-cylinder, 394-hp punch
The RS 3's heart is a 2.5L turbocharged inline five-cylinder that makes 394 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission handles the shifts. Audi quotes 0–60 mph in 3.6 sec — quick enough to reset your idea of a compact sedan.
RS torque splitter, rear-biased fun
The RS 3 pairs quattro all-wheel drive with an RS torque splitter, so you get the confidence of all-wheel grip with a playful, rear-biased personality. Point it at a winding road and it feels eager, planted, and ready for the next bend.
Two modes turn up the drama. RS Performance mode dials in the car's sportiest side when you want every bit of that five-cylinder snarl. RS Torque Rear mode goes further — it's a drift-capable setting meant for closed courses only, never public roads. On the street, you'll have plenty of fun in the everyday modes while the torque splitter does its work in the background. Save the sideways stuff for a sanctioned track day.
A cockpit tuned for drivers
Inside, the RS 3 keeps the key details right where your eyes already are. The 12.3-in Audi virtual cockpit plus sits behind the wheel, and a 10.1-in MMI touchscreen anchors the center of the dash.
The 2025 update added a steering wheel with a flat top and bottom — a racy touch you'll notice the moment you grab it. Before you pull away, take a few minutes to set up the displays the way you like them. That way, your attention stays on the road and the five-cylinder soundtrack once you're rolling. It's a small ritual that makes the first mile feel like home.
Stand out with an RS 3
The RS 3 pairs everyday sedan sense — five seats and 20 city, 29 highway, and 23 combined mpg — with supercar-level acceleration. Book one for a weekend escape, a special occasion, or a test-drive before you buy. When you want to compare more head-turners, browse exotic and luxury car rentals on Turo.
Top RS 3 features
Nürburgring pedigree
Three things set the RS 3 apart: its track pedigree, sharpened design, and drive modes for every mood.
Audi bills the RS 3 as a compact-class record holder on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife in Germany. That's a bold credential for a car you can also use to pick up friends or run errands.
What does that mean for your trip? The ingredients behind Audi's claim come along for the ride. That means the 394-hp five-cylinder, quattro all-wheel drive with the RS torque splitter, and the RS drive modes. You'll feel that track-bred sharpness every time you merge, brake, or turn in — even on the way to dinner. It's motorsport credibility you can park in a regular parking garage.
Sharpened, unmistakable design
The RS 3 looks the part before you even start it. The 2025 update brought a new Singleframe grille, larger air intakes, and a redesigned diffuser, giving the sedan a sharper, more aggressive face and tail.
Walk around and you'll spot more RS details: flared fenders, RS oval tailpipes, and 19-in wheels that fill the arches. It's a compact sedan with a wider, more muscular stance than its size suggests. Pull up to a dinner reservation, a wedding, or a weekend getaway, and the RS 3 announces itself without saying a word. Check the listing photos to see the exact color and wheel finish on the car you're booking.
A mode for every mood
The RS 3 lets you choose how it behaves. Comfort mode smooths things out for long cruises, and efficiency mode helps you stretch each tank. Dynamic mode sharpens the car's responses when the road gets fun.
Auto mode adapts as you drive, and RS Individual lets you mix and match settings to suit your style. Some RS 3s on Turo have the optional Dynamic plus package. It raises the top speed from 155 mph to 180 mph (a number for the track, not the highway). Check the listing to see if the car you're eyeing has it.
