What immediately sets this Audi RS3 8V Sportback apart is how it has been used — or more accurately, how it hasn’t. Launch control data confirms zero launches since new, an exceptional and highly unusual metric for an eight-year-old RS model. Combined with genuine mileage verified using Audi dealer-level diagnostics, this strongly indicates careful, mechanically sympathetic ownership throughout. The car remains completely standard and unmodified, exactly as supplied from factory.

Finished in Porsche Voodoo Blue, this RS3 was specified through the Audi Exclusive programme in a Porsche manufacturer colour originally offered via Porsche’s Paint to Sample range. This is a colour combination almost never seen on the RS3 platform and gives the car immediate visual distinction among knowledgeable RS buyers. Specification is equally strong, with £12,260 of factory optional extras, including the Audi Sport Package with RS Sports Exhaust, Matrix LED headlights, Comfort and Sound Pack with Bang & Olufsen audio, electric heated seats, and the Audi Exclusive paint finish.

At its core is the DAZA 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder engine, widely regarded as the definitive RS3 powerplant. Featuring an aluminium engine block with revised camshafts, turbocharger, and fuel injection system, the DAZA delivers a sharper, more robust character while retaining the unmistakable five-cylinder soundtrack that defines the RS3. Paired with the 7-speed S-Tronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, performance is delivered with immediacy and traction. Crucially, this example is a non-OPF car, preserving the unfiltered exhaust note that enthusiasts actively seek.

Ownership history shows one previous keeper, who retained the car from 2021, representing a long period of continuous ownership. We sourced this example from within the Audi RS owner community, where Automotive Addiction is recognised as a specialist, having supplied over 700 Audi RS models since 2015. This RS3 is currently undergoing our 100-hour Pre-Sale Preparation Process, which includes a comprehensive multi-stage mechanical inspection followed by up to 60 hours of in-house professional detailing prior to sale.
