Audi RS3 Carbon Black

The RS3 Carbon Black edition represents Audi's most focused take on the compact performance saloon — a limited-run specification that adds a blacked-out aesthetic treatment to the already potent RS3 package. Under the bonnet sits the celebrated 2.5-litre turbocharged inline-five, producing 395 bhp and 500 ft-lb of torque, channelled through S Tronic dual-clutch transmission to all four wheels via quattro. The result is a 0-62 time of 3.8 seconds and a 155 mph top speed, all from a car that passes as a discreet saloon on a dark evening.

This example is finished in Black and is well optioned: the RS Design Pack in Red lifts the interior with contrasting details, while the Dinamica microfibre RS bucket seats in honeycomb-pattern black with black contrast stitching are a factory highlight worth seeking out. The Technology Pack adds a head-up display and premium audio to an already capable Audi Virtual Cockpit setup with its RS-specific 12.3-inch display. Climate control runs across three zones, and front parking sensors front and rear round out the practicality.

Registered in 2025 on a 25 plate and supplied new to a single owner, it has covered 18,467 miles — modest usage for its age. Service history and the one-owner provenance make this a straightforward proposition for anyone wanting a fast, all-weather daily that doesn't broadcast its intentions.
