2026 Audi RS3 competition limited

The RS3 competition limited marks the end of Audi’s five-cylinder engine, after over five decades in production. Numbers will be limited to 750 units worldwide, instantly making this a car for collectors as we may never see another five-cylinder production engine again.

With no extra power or torque on offer. Audi have instead decided to differentiate the RS3 competition limited in other ways. The exhaust system now gets a little louder earlier in the rev range and the firewall sound insulation has been removed to further enable the occupants to hear the engines bark. There’s also some weight that has been removed through the use of carbon ceramic brakes, and KW three-way adjustable coilovers have been fitted.
