2018 Audi A3 8V RS3 QUATTRO Sedan - Black - 113,847km - 2.5L Turbo Inline-5, 7-Speed Automatic, AWD (Repaired Write-off)

Overview

The Audi RS3 Quattro represents the pinnacle of compact performance sedans, combining Audi's engineering excellence with genuine everyday usability. This 2018 example is a turbocharged 2.5-litre inline-5 petrol engine paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive, delivering the kind of performance credentials that make the RS3 a benchmark in its class. At 113,847 kilometres, this is a well-used example that has clearly been enjoyed, presenting an opportunity to acquire a genuine performance sedan at a realistic price point.

The black exterior presents in honest condition consistent with its age and mileage. The paint holds reasonable gloss across the panels with expected stone chipping on the bonnet leading edge and minor weathering throughout. Panel gaps are even and straight, with no evidence of major accident repair. The factory alloy wheels show typical kerb wear and minor corrosion, fitted with tyres that display moderate tread depth. The overall presentation is that of a well-driven performance car rather than a pampered showpiece, which is entirely appropriate for this specification.

Inside, the cabin reflects genuine RS3 specification with quilted leather sports seats featuring red contrast stitching and embossed RS3 badging. The leather shows wear consistent with 113,847 kilometres of use, with visible bolster wear on the driver's seat and minor creasing across the upholstery. The flat-bottomed RS3 steering wheel is wrapped in leather with red stitching, showing moderate wear on the grip areas. The dashboard is free from cracks, and the instrument cluster displays clearly. The MMI infotainment system with touchscreen operates as expected, and climate control functions are present. The interior trim combines black leather with carbon-effect accents, maintaining the purposeful RS3 aesthetic throughout.

The engine bay reveals the turbocharged 2.5-litre inline-5 with distinctive red engine cover badging, confirming the genuine RS3 powertrain. The bay is reasonably clean with no obvious fluid leaks or modifications visible. All fluid levels appear appropriate, and the battery is in serviceable condition. The turbocharger and associated plumbing are intact and unmodified. This is a factory-standard RS3 engine installation with no aftermarket cold air intakes, catch cans, or other performance modifications evident.

At the current price guide of approximately $25,000 to $32,000 for comparable examples, this RS3 Quattro offers genuine performance credentials at a realistic entry point. The 2.5-litre turbo delivers 250kW and 465Nm of torque, making this a genuinely quick sedan with real-world performance that justifies the RS3 badge. The Quattro all-wheel drive system provides confidence in all conditions, and the 7-speed automatic is responsive and well-suited to the engine's characteristics. For buyers seeking a performance sedan with authentic Audi RS engineering, this represents solid value.
