Audi RS3 Sportback

This is a facelift 8V RS3 Sportback with the early DAZA engine, the lighter aluminium-block 2.5-litre five-cylinder producing 400 PS. It predates the particulate filter fitted to later DNWA cars, which is why enthusiasts tend to prefer it for its exhaust note. Power goes through a seven-speed S tronic gearbox to all four wheels.

The factory options are the main appeal: carbon ceramic brakes, the Audi Sport Package with magnetic adaptive suspension and RS sports exhaust, RS Super Sport seats, a carbon-fibre interior pack, the RS Design package in red and a raised 174 mph top speed. The dealer puts the options at £17,675. The car is finished in Ara Blue Crystal with black Nappa leather and red stitching.

It has covered 38,000 miles, with four previous keepers and a full Audi main dealer and specialist service history. The dealer describes it as unmodified, with two keys and more than nine months of MOT. It is currently shown as having a deposit taken.
