Audi RS3: Better Than An AMG A45?

The new Audi RS3 is fashionably late to the super hatchback party, but it brings with it a host of treats that make it a very welcome addition - and perhaps even the belle of the ball. It has a big engine with big power, a lovely chassis and, more importantly, new additions to the rear that turn it to an absolute drift maniac. But is it as good as the Mercedes A45S?

UPDATE: Sorry I didn’t get around to filming the RS3 when it was first released. Yes, I was late. Sadly I was on holiday at the time of the car’s initial launch. To clarify, yes I know when the car was released. I think the RS3 is “late” to the super hatch party because this latest RS3, with drift mode and big power (putting it as a rival to A45 and Golf R) arrived around June 2021. The latest Golf R debuted earlier that year and the the current A45 arrived in roughly March 2020 - over a year before them both. I have learned my lesson. I will no longer go on holiday. -Rory

One of the better Audi RS 3 reviews. Our 2019 RS 3 is now at 48,335 miles of which 34,710 miles has been fast country back road runs made 3 days a week as weather permits. Only change we made was to install 245/40/18 tires on Neuspeed alloy 18x8.5 wheels (fitted with Michelin AS3+ tires) which was a major improvement during our fast country back road runs. A great vehicle indeed and one of the best I've had now at age 83 and still driving my fast country back roads weekly, as our weather permits.

More like £55k and that was for a basic spec that no one would buy given the choice. Most cars specced before the price increase in Dec 21 were hovering around £60k. Impossible to get one? Not if you have one on order. Mine's a tango red carbon sportback with C&S and RS dynamic pack, that was £59k with a little discount back in September 21. Mine will be with me in 10 weeks' time.

That was a factory time, it would be good to see a factory time by Mercedes. The A45s (7:48) and CLA45S (7:45) times were done by Sport Auto and typically there is a big difference in time. E.g. Renault Megane Trophy R time by Sport Auto was 15 secs slower than the factory effort by Renault. I suspect the Mercs are faster. Do it with stock cars and same driver. Car Expert did that and found the A45s was 1 sec faster around their track. This despite the A45s being a 3 year older car.

@@nickm133 completely on point. People need to better realize that these laptimes aren't comparable, the A45S's 'record' was established by a press driver while the RS3 was a factory time, so it was done by a racing driver and in perfect conditions. In reality, these 2 cars are pretty much neck and neck on a track, zeperfs says so and I tend to trust them the most. And since you mentioned Sport Auto: take every laptime they set with a grain of salt, they are inconsistent with their laptimes and aren't very professional. When they did a Nurburgring attempt with the Focus ST, even though the car they received experienced overheating issues they still pretended like the laptime was valid. Thanks to them you find their laptime on the Focus ST page on lots of laptime websites. Complete amateurs.

The new M2 to compare against this RS3 is going to be an absolute monster and will destroy the A45S and RS3 it’s 453bhp as standard before the Comp or CS models released.

Why are most RS3 reviews of the Sportback? The sedan is an infinitely better looking car in my opinion. In this case I get it because you are comparing it to the A45 AMG. To my eye the Sportback’s dimensions are just weird. As a 3 door yes but 5 doors? No thanks. Magnificent car in almost every other sense though

The number of folk on here drinking the manufacturer cool aid is unreal. Fastest doesn't matter in the real world, and I'm going to hazzard a guess that not many contributing have ever driven either car. My A110 is 8 seconds slower round the hallowed ring than my last gen RS3. RS was a blunt instrument that hammered the road into submission whereas the Alpine dances over it. The only car I think is more fun was my 205 GTI! Buy what makes you smile, because ring times don't mean sh*t.

@@vulcanus9384 lmao 750WHP on the stock motor is suicide, 550WHP like the guy above said is about as much as you should push it without internal work - and even that's stretching it. 750WHP is too much even for the stock B58, which has stronger internals and is a bigger engine, and you want that sort of power on the EA855?

You need to build the bottom end to get 750hp or you are guaranteed to get a bent rod otherwise I have a tte777 setup , which is a 9 second car - almost untouchable in a straight line on the street - RS3’s are just such weapons!
