2023 AUDI RS 3 VORSPRUNG TFSI QUATTRO SA

Few cars embody the spirit of Audi Sport quite like the RS3. The 8Y generation has taken the legendary five-cylinder platform to new heights, blending everyday usability with spine-tingling performance that few hot hatches can come close to. With its unmistakable soundtrack, Quattro precision, and the addition of the RS Torque Splitter, the RS3 8Y has cemented itself as one of the most exciting and rewarding performance cars on the road today.

Our Kyalami Green example takes this already remarkable platform and elevates it further. Ordered new by an Audi enthusiast who has cared for it since day one, this RS3 has covered only 5,000 miles and comes with complete provenance, including verification of engine and transmission ECU mileages with Audi Dealer diagnostics. Backed by the Audi manufacturer’s warranty until 2026, peace of mind comes as standard alongside the thrills.

This particular RS3 benefits from an impressive £12,825 in factory options thanks to its Vorsprung specification, including the sought-after RS Dynamic Package. That brings with it the top speed increase to 180mph and the coveted RS Carbon Ceramic Braking System with 380mm discs and six-piston calipers finished in anthracite grey, an upgrade usually reserved for far more exotic machinery. The Vorsprung trim also ensures it wants for nothing, from a Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system, panoramic sunroof, adaptive RS suspension and RS sports exhaust, to a suite of driver assistance systems, Matrix LED headlights, gloss-black exterior styling and RS-specific digital displays.

The exterior is finished in striking Kyalami Green, protected from day one with front-end paint protection film covering all high-impact areas. Sitting perfectly thanks to KW Variant 3 coilovers and a height adjustable spring system, the stance is aggressive without compromising daily usability. Subtle touches such as the Maxton Design Street Pro front splitter further enhance its RS presence without straying from the factory character.

Inside, this Vorsprung offers an environment that is both luxurious and purposeful. RS Super Sport fine Nappa leather seats with honeycomb stitching hold you securely in place, while carbon-fibre inlays and a carbon centre console surround highlight its motorsport DNA. Technology is abundant, with Audi’s Virtual Cockpit Plus, RS-specific heads-up display, wireless smartphone integration, and multi-coloured ambient lighting, all combining to deliver a cabin that is every bit as advanced as the drivetrain beneath it.

Further enhancements totalling £8,514 have been carried out with precision and purpose. A Forge Motorsport intercooler kit, carbon induction system and upgraded boost hoses deliver improved performance and heat management, while a Powerflex dogbone mount insert sharpens throttle response. These modifications ensure this RS3 feels even more alive without compromising its reliability or usability.

This RS3 will undergo Automotive Addiction’s signature preparation process, a meticulous £1,200 professional detail carried out in our dedicated studio. This includes treatments to the paint protection film, paintwork, undercarriage, wheels, brakes, glass and interior – a process that adds a distinctive ‘Automotive Addiction difference’ to every car we offer.

This low-mileage, tastefully enhanced and comprehensively optioned Audi RS3 8Y Vorsprung represents a rare opportunity for an RS enthusiast to secure a truly special example. With its combination of factory specification, thoughtful upgrades and professional preparation, it’s a car ready to be enjoyed immediately and cherished for years to come.
