Will there be an RS3 saloon coming to the UK?

[joedesi]

Im selling my 2013 E92 M3 and looking for something to replace it with. I love the sound and performance of the 2.5 5 pot in the RS3 but dont like hatch backs.

Anyone know if Audi are bringing the RS3 in saloon guise to UK?

Not keen on S3 saloon as Im not keen on 4pot turbos.

Thanks in advance

That's certainly what I've been told (albeit unofficially). Also rumours of a facelift for 2017MY which may be when they introduce the saloon line.

Thats helpful thank you - hopefully they'll bring in the virtual cockpit as an option on the facelift...

I expect so; if Audi want to move RS product in the US an RS3 saloon is the obvious candidate for a smaller car. Particularly as they're pushing the smaller 'younger' product so hard at the moment. I vaguely remember an interview on Fourtitude mentioning it too but I'll be damned if I can find the link.

Audi generally market everything fast in the UK as it's a significant market for performance stuff.
