All 43 models of mercedes sound great , it’s an amazing ,deep and clear sound , audi has muted the Rsq3 and even removed the pops and bangs of the revs.

Totally! Agree with you sir🙌🏼

[@isakyhadz]

You should hear how good the RS3 sounds in America. Same engine. Sounds way better.

This makes me wanna cry😭😭

[@MarwinKellers]

0:32 When he's revving the RSQ3 you can hear the valves closing on high rpms and opening again on idle, so the car isn't too loud. There is box-tunings, that stop that from happening, or allow you to have the car start up with opened valves instead of it reverting to closed every time. But still, OPF ruins so many good sounding cars...

AMG performance exhaust or standard one?

[@drivenunfiltered4243]

It‘s the optional AMG performance exhaust

@@drivenunfiltered4243 thanks! I own an RS3 2018 without OPF and sounds amazing! I've ordered a GLC 43 Coupè with the AMG performance exhaust, and I'm glad to hear that it will sound great!

@@giofreddi the pre OPF RS3 is a blast!! But said that, the GLC 43 amg with OPF sounds really good! It sounds even better in person ;) you‘ll have fun!

Audi Sounds far BETTER in REAL, than in this video recorder with CHEAP LOW MIC😢 Benz sounds childish with this noisy Blups anyway. For IMATURE owners

[@drivenunfiltered4243]

The Audi 5 cylinder engine is a masterpiece of engeneering. But with the recent OPF regulations the sound is really muted :(
