    RS3?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So yesterday i was on my way home from work cruising down 101S in the peninsula and was following this new A3 sedan. I thought "that's pretty cool," then i got closer and noticed it looked a little different. Sporty, even. Then i thought i saw the S3 badge. then i got closer, and my eyes finally focused. The badge actually said RS3. AFAIK there is no RS3.. could be wrong though, i'm so out of the scene with my OG B6. That's all, i just had to tell somebody.

    IIRC it was gray. Boo. That's a damn shame.

    The RS3 didn't make it over the pond.

    its possible... you'll find non-US Audi's floating on 101 near SFO / San Mateo area every once in a while... there's an Audi Corporate office in the area... last month i saw a 2015 A6 avant tdi and an a5 sportback and yesterday my coworker took a picture of a 2015 S3 wagon on 101 near redwood city

    Interesting; I live in Millbrae and haven't noticed anything like that. I'll have to look harder when I am back in town after April.

    Certainly possible you saw something from the Audi corp office. Like others have said the RS3 isn't available in the states...yet. Rumored for release in a year. Fingers and toes crossed that rumor comes true.

    This car? Was Christians from 034 - not sure if he sold it or not. I believe it's all OEM body pieces on the conversion.
