The original Audi Quattro helped establish the brand's reputation for combining turbocharged power with exceptional traction, demonstrating the competitive advantages of all-wheel drive in rallying and performance motoring. That engineering philosophy continues through Audi's modern RS models, with the RS3 bringing quattro all-wheel drive, a compact footprint, and serious sports-car performance together in a practical five-door package. Its distinctive five-cylinder engine also connects the modern RS3 to the most celebrated era in Audi performance history, when Quattro A1s and Sport Quattros slung gravel and fire on World Rally Championship stages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe current-generation Audi RS3 takes that formula to an extraordinary level, combining a turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine producing approximately 394 horsepower in U.S.-market specification with quattro all-wheel drive and a sophisticated torque-splitting rear differential.
