2023 (73) Audi RS3 SPORTBACK VORSPRUNG. £38K IN UPGRADES. FULL PPF. CARBON CERAMIC BRAKES

This is no ordinary Audi RS3. What you see here is a truly exceptional example of the 2023 (73) Audi RS3 Sportback Vorsprung. A car that has been transformed far beyond factory specification, with nearly £40,000 worth of bespoke enhancements added to an already extensive original options list.

Finished in Audi Exclusive Mirage Orange – a unique Harley Davidson-inspired shade believed to be a one-of-one for this model. This RS3 is as visually striking as it is mechanically potent. The entire car has received full paint protection film (PPF) application to preserve its flawless finish. Inside, the interior has been completely re-trimmed in off-white Nappa leather, featuring RS-style hexagonal stitching in orange, with matching door cards and a re-trimmed Alcantara steering wheel also finished with orange contrast stitching. The headlining, as well as the A, B, and C pillars, have been re-trimmed in Alcantara for a premium, cohesive feel throughout the cabin.

Performance upgrades include a full Akrapovic exhaust system, RaceChip tuning box, and an Airtec intercooler, giving this RS3 even more edge on the road or track. Braking performance has also been significantly enhanced with factory Audi carbon ceramic front brakes, complemented by RacingLine’s carbon ceramic rear upgrade with performance pads. The exterior is finished with a full carbon fibre styling package, adding visual aggression and functional lightness.

For audiophiles, the sound system has been taken to new heights with Audison Prima door speakers, upgraded speaker rings, and an Audison 10-inch subwoofer box, ensuring an immersive listening experience that matches the car’s driving drama.

In addition to these extensive modifications, this RS3 is equipped with a wide range of desirable factory options. These include the RS Dynamic Package, RS-specific adaptive sports suspension, 5-spoke Y-style diamond-cut alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlights, carbon decorative interior trim, sliding panoramic glass roof, and a head-up display.

At its heart remains Audi Sport’s legendary 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine, delivering 450 BHP and 369 ft-lb of torque. This propels the car from 0–62mph in just 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 180mph, thanks to the RS Dynamic Pack. The introduction of the RS Torque Splitter – an active rear differential that can send 100% of torque to either rear wheel, which fundamentally changes the RS3’s character, allowing for incredible agility, throttle adjustability, and even controlled drifts via RS Torque Rear mode.

Despite its high-performance credentials, the Vorsprung edition makes no compromise on comfort or daily usability. With adaptive dampers, launch control, and all the latest tech and luxury features expected from a flagship Audi, it delivers the perfect blend of performance, refinement, and exclusivity.

Now available for private viewing by appointment at our West Sussex showroom, this meticulously enhanced and truly one-of-a-kind RS3 Sportback Vorsprung has covered just 4,115 miles from new and has had only one owner.
