The new Audi RS3 2026 is already circulating around Brazil at exclusive events and is leaving no doubt: it is one of the most exciting sports compacts of the moment.

Breathtaking performance and sporty roar
Under the hood, the Audi RS3 features a 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder engine with around 420 horsepower and robust torque, delivering brutal acceleration. According to the channel Head Car, the car reaches 100 km/h in around 3,8 seconds and has quattro all-wheel drive, ensuring firmness on curves and maximum stability.
During the tests carried out on the Pan-American circuit, the model showed extremely balanced behavior. Even with limited driving by the “godmother car” of the track, the YouTuber highlighted how much the car “sticks to the ground” and is fun to drive. The drift mode, when activated, transforms the experience into controlled fun, as long as the instructor allows it.
High price, but with experience to match
With an estimated price of R$700, the new Audi RS3 may seem expensive for a hatchback, but delivers performance that rivals supercars. According to the presenter of the video, the price is high, but justifiable for those looking for excitement, luxury and performance in a more compact car.
The RS3 2026 fits the profile of those who value drivability, sporty sound and exclusivity. As the content creator himself said: “If you have the money, it’s a big hit.”
