Powertrain of Audi RS 3 Sportback
Of course, the Audi RS3 is known for its unique five-cylinder powerplant. This allows it to stand apart from most of its direct competitors. Those things don't have typical four- or six-cylinder powerplants fitted to most sports sedans, so the five cylinders in the RS3 don't just make a characteristic sound of a deep, thrumming growl but also contribute to its characteristic performance dynamics.
The newest version of the turbocharged 2.5-liter continues, but it's now better and has churned out an impressive 401 horsepower. The powerplant is matched with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, designed to intuitively respond to the driver's inputs.
The seven-speeder often responds with a deliberate downshift when the pedal is tapped lightly for passing maneuvers, giving the car a dynamic feel. However, it is more composed and less aggressive when braking hard.
