The RS3 is significantly quicker from what I've heard. I think Wheels or Motor got a 3.9 0-100km/h which is effing quick. I'll be keen to test launch control as I'm led to believe they can launch from almost 4,000rpm. |

I heard a few times that 2.5L 5 pot in the RS3 is half a Lambo 5.0L V10.
Not sure there is any truth to it, but it sure as hell sound the part at full throttle, some pretty insane exhaust crackle and pop too... Certainly had me on car point looking at prices and doing the sums on my calculator. |
