Model Overview:

Experience the pinnacle of Audi performance with this stunning RS3 8Y Sportback Vorsprung, finished in Kemora Grey Metallic Paintwork —a striking successor to the iconic Nardo Grey. As the top-of-the-line Vorsprung model, it offers an unmatched level of specification, sitting above the Carbon Black variant with an array of factory optional extras.

This RS3 has had just one owner from new, none other than the founder of the Audi RS Owners Club Forums, ensuring it has been meticulously cared for by a true enthusiast. With full Audi service history and zero recorded launches, it represents an exceptional example.

The factory options on this example total over £7,700 including Kemora Grey Metallic paintwork, SuperSport Seats finished in Dinamica with RS embossed logos, panoramic glass-roof, top speed increase to 174mph, RS Sports Exhaust System, Comfort & Sound Package and much more! In addition, this RS3 8Y benefits from £2,500 worth of paint protection film and enhancements, featuring Eibach lowering springs, Bimecc wheel spacers–to give a defined look, and a Carbonfabrik RS3 8Y carbon shift frame—all selected to enhance aesthetics while maintaining the car’s factory integrity.

To ensure the flawless condition of its striking Kemora Grey Metallic paintwork, it has been protected by XPEL front-end Paint Protection Film (PPF) since new to protect the bonnet, front bumper, grille, door mirrors, and front wings, preserving the factory-original finish.

Whether it’s sedate family outings, high-profile business meetings or whitening your knuckles with some hot laps around your local race circuit, Audi’s range-topping RS3 models have the breadth of abilities to deliver mind-blowing performance in every scenario. And this truly stunning sportback variant represents the very pinnacle of RS3 ownership, offering practical performance motoring with real driver engagement.

Just like its 8V predecessor, a potent 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine lies under the bonnet and delivers its 400bhp and 500NM of torque through the legendary quattro all-wheel drive system. However, a revolutionary RS torque splitter, which can distribute up to 50 percent of the available torque between the two rear wheels, has transformed the handling dynamics over the outgoing model and makes the 8Y generation RS3 the truly engaging driver’s car that enthusiasts have been craving.

This is an excellent opportunity to own what is regarded as one of the fastest and most technologically-advanced real-world usable cars on the road, combining highly aggressive yet restrained styling, genuine supercar-levels of performance and luxurious refinement in one complete package.

As specialists in Audi RS models, we have sold over 700 examples since 2015 and are recognised as group experts on the Audi RS Owners Club Forums. Every vehicle we offer undergoes an extensive detailing process by our in-house professionals, boasting over a decade of experience.

This RS3 has received a comprehensive detailing treatment (RRP £1,200) before sale, covering the PPF, Paintwork, Undercarriage, Wheels, Brakes, Glass, and Interior, ensuring it is presented at an unprecedented level.

For those seeking an Audi RS3 8Y Vorsprung Sportback with outstanding provenance, then this example represents a rare opportunity. Enquire today for more information or  to secure this RS3 with a deposit.
