❗️Audi has revealed the RS 3 Sportback competition limited, a special edition celebrating 50 years of Audi’s iconic five-cylinder engine.

Only 750 units will be built worldwide, making it one of the rarest versions of the already sought-after RS3 hot hatch.

The car keeps Audi’s famous 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-five, producing about 400 horsepower (294 kW) and delivering the distinctive off-beat exhaust sound enthusiasts love.

But this version focuses heavily on track performance upgrades.

It adds a coilover suspension setup, revised rear stabilizer bar, ceramic brakes, and a retuned sport exhaust, making it sharper and more capable than the standard RS3.

Visually, Audi made sure it stands out.

The competition limited edition gets carbon fiber exterior parts, matte-gold 19-inch wheels, and a special Malachite Green paint, while inside you’ll find bucket seats, gold accents, and a numbered plaque showing which of the 750 cars it is.

Price starts around €108,365 (roughly $115k), which is about €40,000 more than a regular RS3, putting this compact hot hatch in surprisingly exotic territory.

For Audi fans, it’s more than just another special edition, it’s essentially a celebration of the legendary five-cylinder engine that started with the 1976 Audi 100 5E and later became a rally and performance icon.

The big question: with Audi already hinting that emissions rules could end the five-cylinder era soon, could this be one of the last truly special RS3s ever built?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
