2022 Audi RS3 Vorsprung

The RS3 Vorsprung sits at the top of the Sportback range, pairing Audi's 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder with seven-speed S tronic and quattro all-wheel drive. The 395 bhp and 500 lb-ft output is good for 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds and a 174mph top speed, with that distinctive five-pot warble intact. This 2022 (72-plate) car has covered 30,000 miles and has been looked after by a single owner.

It is finished in Tango Red, a factory paint option that suits the RS3's aggressive stance far better than the usual greys and blacks. Vorsprung spec brings the Comfort and Sound Package, with keyless entry, a premium branded sound system and parking assistance with a rear camera, plus a head-up display and the Driver Assistance Package with adaptive cruise control.

Dual-zone climate control and Bluetooth connectivity round out the daily-use credentials. With a Euro 6 engine and 207 g/km CO2, it remains one of the most usable hot hatches in the class, combining supercar-adjacent pace with a practical five-door body.
