Audi RS 3 Evolves with Sharper Dynamics and Track-Focused Precision

Saudi Arabia : Audi has sharpened the edge of its RS 3 with fine-tuned chassis, new tires, and advanced torque control. This is to get a more thrilling and controlled drive on the road and racetrack.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What tires are available for the RS 3?

    The RS 3 comes with standard Pirelli P Zero R tires and optional Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R semi-slicks, designed for dry tracks but still legal on public roads.
  • What are the key features of the P Zero R tires?

    The P Zero R tires have a dual compound structure with soft sidewall rubber and a hard center for stable handling, providing a balance of ride comfort and clear road feedback.
    • RS 3 has set the Nürburgring lap record, more than 7 seconds faster than before.
    • There are enhanced torque splitter to boost grip, agility and balance in corners.

    Audi’s RS 3 is popular since it has a mix of everyday use and pure driving excitement. One year after it set a lap record on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the updated RS 3 has proven to be quick in a straight line. Now, it's even sharper through the bends.

    The Audi RS 3, with a refined chassis, upgraded torque control and new options for tires, offers a more emotional and responsive driving experience.

    Torque Splitter and Driving Feel

    Since Audi introduced the torque splitter in 2021, the driving behavior of the RS 3 has changed significantly. With this system, the car can send different levels of power to each rear wheel so as to improve agility and control.

    In the version they have updated, which is now on sale, the torque splitter works with a smarter algorithm. This algorithm helps improve communication between all the handling systems of the car.

    The RS 3 now responds more quickly when it enters a bend. The system applies gentle braking to the inner wheels while it pushes more torque to the outer rear wheel.

    This keeps the car balanced and lets it better follow the curve, which helps the driver position the car earlier and carry more speed through corners. The result is a car that feels more playful, yet more planted, which makes it ideal for daily driving and track fun.

    Tires and Grip Performance

    Audi has also focused on tires, which play a big part in the RS 3’s precision. The main features of the tires are:

    • The front tires are 265/30 while the rear are 245/35 tires. They've tuned them for balance and grip.
    • Standard tire: Pirelli P Zero R.
    • Dual compound structure: Soft sidewall rubber, hard center for stable handling.
    • Optional tire: Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R semi-slicks.

    The standard P Zero R tires have a combination of ride comfort and clear road feedback, while the optional Trofeo R tires bring motorsport tech into the mix.

    The tires are designed for dry tracks but are still legal on public roads. They have features like asymmetrical tread and a compound that helps maximize grip and lateral support.

    A Proven Formula Refined

    The latest updates for the RS 3 have added speed, and have also given the driver more control and feel. The car behaves with more accuracy at the limit, be it the recalibrated torque delivery, improved suspension response or advanced tire setup.

    Audi sums it up with a mix of balance, grip and emotion. With its Nürburgring lap time now over seven seconds quicker than its pre-facelift version, the RS 3 is proof that even small changes, when done right, can make a big difference in real-world and track performance.
