According to a recent report, Michael Dick, a member of Audi’s board of management for technical development has stated that the company is very highly considering building a RS3 version in the near future.

Now we have actual proof that Audi’s in house performance team Quattro is testing RS3 test mule on the Nürburgring.

The car spotted has S3 badges, but we can already see larger air intakes in the front bumper.

Power will very likely come from Audi’s 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged engine, that develops 340 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque.

Same engine is under the new TT RS. We expect RS3 to hit 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in around 4.6 seconds while the top speed is around 288 km/h (179 mph)

Stay tuned, as we will be seeing more test mules with new details in the near future.
