The US-market RS 3 claims 401 hp against Europe's 395, partly because US cars have no petrol particulate filter.

2017 was a double debut for the RS3: the same year Audi added a sedan body style to the lineup, it finally brought the RS3 to North American showrooms.

Audi built a racer on this chassis, the RS 3 LMS, which debuted at Dubai Autodrome the same weekend James Kaye won the 24 Hour.

The first RS 3 wore front wings made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic, flared over a widened track.
