The 2012 Audi RS 3 Sportback is a high-performance trim of the Audi A3. It had a limited production run between 2011 to 2012 and was available exclusively in estate form.
The RS 3's turbocharged 2.5L inline-five engine was sourced from the Audi TT RS, which was priced higher than the RS 3.
Unlike the TT RS, no manual option was provided with a 7-speed S-tronic twin-clutch automatic transmission being standard across the board. A total of 750 units were produced.
