Audi RS3 8Y - Awesome Demo Car

As a long standing tuning company specializing in VW Audi group, we’ve had the privilege of working extensively with both the 8V and 8Y generations of the Audi RS3, and we can confidently say that each brings its own unique strengths to the table. The 8V RS3, produced from 2015 to 2020, set a high benchmark with its iconic 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine, delivering a thrilling 400 horsepower right out of the factory. Its aggressive design, combined with the legendary quattro all-wheel drive system, provided a solid foundation for tuning enthusiasts, allowing us to unlock even more performance and tailor the driving experience to the preferences of our customers.

The 8Y RS3, introduced in 2021, takes the best of the 8V and refines it further, making it an even more exciting platform for tuning. While it retains the revered 2.5-liter engine, Audi has fine-tuned the performance and handling dynamics, providing an even better starting point for enhancements. The addition of advanced features like the torque splitter gives us more tools to work with, allowing for precise adjustments that elevate the car’s agility and responsiveness to new heights. The updated design language of the 8Y, with its sharper lines and modern tech, not only looks the part but also provides further opportunities for enthusiasts.

Our own RS3 demo car is fitted with the list of mods below, and using the Racingline PCM Tuning Box is able to generate 470 hp on our Dynojet dyno.
