Combine that with its incredible all wheel drive quattro system and you have a nimble and extremely fast platform. When you then make an Audi RS3 have 800HP what you have is literally a Nissan GTR's worst nightmare. Screaming like a banshee with it's incredible drivetrain there is almost nothing like it. So let's go for a rip and talk about it!

This car is the sound of an exotic,the power of a semi built GTR, and the four door you drive to work every day.
This thing is a cheat code. What’s your favorite thing about it?!
Can I say everything? I absolutely love RS3s they're so cool and you can't go wrong with an inline 5 😍🤤
But the sound of the exhaust and turbo are probably my favorite part!
Where’s smurffff
u forgot to put a space between the "," and "the"
The sounds of that 5 cyl Turbo!
Didn’t know they were that fast. I’ll be careful around these and won’t rev my Kia Soul.
They're not this one is just modded to the max
@@freack201 lol a stock S3 is fast as hell are you crazy?
@@freack201 a stock s3 goes 0-60 in 4.6 not to mention what some bolt ons would do even the A3 is a good platform when its tuned 😂😂
@@kndli67 exactly with bolts ons and a tune.
4.6s is fast maybe for you but thats pretty slow
Audi RS3 is criminally underrated
Yupp
keep it that way
Let's keep it that way
If you live under a rock.
I believe it’s the cheapest new one you can buy too 🔥👌🏼
“Hey Patrick, how the -dolphin noise- are you?”
"Pretty -dolphin noise- good, Spongebob"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
you got me looking at used RS3's even though I got $1.48 in my bank....😂😥
I got 1.62 lol
I got 1.50
Exactly what I just did searched some up for sale 😂
-452.88$
@@ee1yd oof!
Nice ride , I appreciate the owner not stripping out the interior, removing back seats ect . Fast and luxurious like it was designed to be .
I've always loved 5cyl engines and wrapped up in Audi goodness makes this to me, a timeless car. I def want one one day. Another awesome video by you David, great work.
It sounds fantastic, so unique...
Yes RS2 and S6 f.e. ..... Damn 🔥
I highly recommend getting one. Love my 2019. Pretty reliable powertrain wise too.
Just put a v6 in it lmao
@@owendaboss3858 V6 sound like shit compared to this 5 cylinder!
8:10 that launch had his eye sockets like...
I have the downpipe and a tune on mine and it’s true you can beat huracan’s and r8’s. Can’t even imagine what 800hp at the wheels feels like!
I'm lucky enough to have this car, I think the best thing about it is that with minimal mods you can get to 500+ hp and have the car as reliable as it was when it left the factory. Mine has been running on 525hp for 3 years and I've never had a single issue with the drivetrain or engine. It eats brake pads though, and the pads for the carboceramics go for 900€ for the front ones only, and they last like 10k km
Yup I'm running stage 2 on E with FBO and lowering springs and upgraded sway bars on both ends. Perfect setup power and handling wise. Haven't dynod it yet but from seeing a similar setup I'm putting out 560hp/420tq to the wheels.
The fact that the engines are so overbuilt from factory is amazing. Definitely a dream/goal car to get!
Start with a GLI
absolutely, its my dream car as well, super obtainable.
Take it from someone that owns one. Only thing that’s really overbuilt is the fuel system. The stock rotating assembly is weak. To make any kind of power beyond FBO e85 you need to build the motor. In fact some stage 2 e85 cars have catastrophic engine failures. To do this kit properly count on $25k easily. In normal driving below 4k rpm’s car sounds like crap, with a catless down pipe the waste gate rattle sounds awful. There is no fix even with a hybrid. You have to go full frame turbo to get it to sound good, imo.
@@matthewnorfleet9356 there is a tuning fix that can get rid of the wastegate rattle
@@joshpetit44 yeah I’m aware, I switched to ds1 on the built motor and supposedly the rattle will be better. Cars done next week so fingers crossed 🤞.
im really listening to the exhaust of the car and its crazy how well they tuned it and it literally sounds like a baby r8
Yeah
Loving the classic monstercat bangers for intro music
Yes you can't go wrong with Monstercat!
Smite inspired mayhaps
Yo mama
Reminds me of the OG Mazdaspeed 3 video
I always been a big fan of that little 5 cyl! It sounds amazing and it's literally a Lambo/Audi V10 cutted in half, that's why it can handle power so easily!
You mean the other way around. The 5 cyl was first.
@@Dextro1945 No, the modern version if the 5 cyl is made from the Lambo/Audi V10, the older ones aren't, there's a difference
@@CJ-vl2dw VW Group owns Lambo, hence why the RSQ8 and Urus share the same engine and platform
That's why it sounds just like half of a lambo v10?
@@ronsvg97-25 Originally I would have thought a similar firing order but I have one of the old late 90's 5 Cylinder volvo's David mentioned and it sounds COMPLETELY different despite having the same 1-2-4-5-3 firing order. Still sounds awesome and totally unique but not as high pitched of a howl as the RS. It has more of a deep grunt.
This definitely makes me want to trade in my Focus RS 😂
You'd get good money for your RS, used car market is insane right now. Good time to upgrade for sure.
You'll never look back
Don’t leave😂
Dont be shy, do it
Ayyyy, RS gang. 🔥🤟🏻
Very cool video. Thank you! It gave me a new understanding of how amazing this powertrain is. The more I look, the more I want one.
Thank you for not going too far down the supercar road. You had me slightly...just slightly nervous for a min.
Even bone-stock a RS3 is a monster especially from a dig.
so true
I bought a 2016 model back in march. so older engine with the iron block. stock 376hp but with stage 1 software giving me arround 420 crank. Was at a 1/4 mile event some weeks ago. did 12 sec flat.
there was a new 8y that did 11.6 bone stock
Crazy I wanted to watch s3 videos randomly and hear is that dude in blue coming in clutch! 👍🏽👍🏽
Finally! Great video David 👌🏻and hope to get to ims850 kit soon 🤞🏻.
Love my RS3 even tho its half as fast as this one haha
Such a fun car!!
@@ThatDudeinBlue *cries in a3 1.4 tfsi*
@@eXxtrazZz you can still make it go fast
@@eXxtrazZz cries in 4.2 ;(
@@DailyFixx_ y u abuse me :(
Absolutely love these things. Just like the 2.0T motors from the r/gti but with an extra cylinder so it can make even more power tuned and sound amazing in the process. Amazing car
It’s a lot more than just an extra cylinder. A lot of trickery in the head with valves and timing along with more fuel. Plus you have the DQ500 dsg to put it down.
I had a 2.0 in the R and now the 2.5 in the RS3. Night and day difference in power and sound. Although the 2.0 is amazing on its own too.
Dude you’re completely wrong. The block that they use in the RS3 is from a Lamborghini V10 block but chopped in half. The internals are also forged and made much stronger to handle more power. The s3 can’t be tuned to the level of the DAZA motor in any way.
That spongebob dolphin noise never gets old lol
🤣🤣
This makes me want to trade in my Golf R, even though it’s pretty fast (350whp Stage 1).
The RS3 is just another level entirely.
Just swap the rs3 engine + dct + rear axle and goodies, there’s a few companies that can help you like innovative motorsports
You're already above my GLI
Those upshifts are to die for…so dramatic and wild 🔥🔥🔥
I found myself smiling while I watched this video. Absolutely beautiful car and setup!
Honestly ever since I heard of these makikg big power Im in. This platform might be the one from evos/sti to GTRs. Love the review David, amazing ride.
Don't sleep on the new M340i's. They're just as capable and a better car overall.
@@rodgazinya Eh M340is is for posers who can't afford proper M cars....Cant wait until the M4 M3 with X drive comes out
@@blackice214 eh, i cant hate on you're opinion but cant deny the B58 is a great engine that makes stupid power with the proper mods.
@@vijaysaini3003 Yea I feel that but if you try to race proper tuned M cars you are always gonna lose. And it’s always those 3 and 4 somethin I’s doing stupid stuff on the street
@@blackice214 haha no doubt.
Awesome video, especially since I’m looking at an 8p rs3!
This such a cool car I love pretty much everything about this car, the color, exhaust, turbo sounds, and the sleeper look from the outside, makes me think about the crazy built vRS3 from Malaka Motorsports!
Love this review so much. I'd definitely get this car and mod it if I had the expendable income for it.
I loved it when the subtitles called the engine sound music.
The intro song took me back to that East Coast Honda Meet video from waaaay back!!
I just love that five cylinder in the RS3
It’s just so addicting🔥
I’m so glad I just picked one of these up!!
This thing is so beautiful. This is my next car for sure. Have an A6 but the sound and everything is just..wow
hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c I knew it was going to be good
This is the best engine Audi has imo and the rs3 is everything that you’d want around that amazing powerplant
The RS3 has only just begun to see potential. It's gonna change the game and its f**king awesome to watch = )
Great video! Unitronic FTW!
I met Darko at a Shell gas station couple years ago. He came over to talk to me. Super cool dude and runs an awesome business in Eurofed.
HOLY 💩 this RS-3 almost sounds like a Huracan w 5 less cylinders🤔👌🏻. SOUNDS SO SICK.
I like how these turbo 5 cylinders sound like turbo R8’s or turbo hurican.
And the Volvo turbo 5 cylinder sounds like a turbo viper motor.
I have an old S60R and I've been eyeing this RS3 since it came out. This seems like it's european successor in terms of specifications, they even sound the same right down to the burble. Volvo S60R is an 2.5L Inline 5, Turbocharged 6 speed manual transmission(yeah I know RS3 is 7speed) with and Haldex AWD . Sound familiar?
@@dex2531 well the RS3 you can’t get in a manual as far as I’m aware. Also has a different firing order like I mentioned.
Gorgeous. I just got an A3 Quattro. The RS3 or 4 is definitely next. Would love this exhaust on mine!...want to tune it up a bit.
Love the content! How do i find out more about the 240 titan build?
The Audi RS3 are mint , that engine has that V1o sound , you can make a lot of power to ,great car ,new one has drift mode to, imagine that with this kind of power . 💪
Never been a huge Audi fan but their interiors are so beautiful
i love the sound of the 5 clinder inline such a reliable motor
Great call out to the Volvo 5cl! These all sound so great!
I loveeee these things, my friend has one tuned and it ripss. What a car
Ridiculous cars
I have one stage 2 E85 tuned. It's a monster.
This sound will FOREVER be amazing. The 5 cylinderr, is just .. the most glorious sounds. And hearing it accelerating with 800whp just makes it even better. Holyy shit. :o Like some of the people in the comments, I'd also probably end up in something like a Focus RS because I love the manual trans. BUT, for a sound like this, and being able to mod something to push this power or even 550whp .. I would drive this with a dual clutch and survive not having maybe an inch more fun with a manual trans. I could listen to this RS3 all day.
Love this model, once im done studying my moded b8 s4 is getting sold and I'm getting one of these and sending it to the moon.
I feel the exact same way about the RS3 David. There’s just som magical about that 5cyl engine man. It’s the euro I’d buy also.
I love this engine too. Thats why I am doing an engine swap with this engine and drive train with a goal of 700whp! Hopefully its in in a couple months ;)
Had a lot of locals sell their r35’s for rs3’s. Super cool platform
you can just say you like the rs3, NOONE is trading in a GTR for a rs3 man lolol
@@Hahaha6055 I’d rather have an r35? I just have seen a lot of locals sell/trade their gate’s to move the the rs3 platform lol
This is one of audis best cars this guy is treating it like it some lowkey thing lol. This engine was used in the old rs3 and the old ttrs along w the newest gen as well. Vw/Audi is pretty known for awesome 5 cylinder stuff
Nice video and I recognized you from VA when you had Jasmine; I had a blue evo8, but sold it 2 years ago. I would like to get your thoughts about evo 8 vs RS3, can't decide which way I want to go. Thanks in advance.
I'm working to getting one of these. Every review/video of a build makes me want one more. It really seems like the ultimate daily.
I think I’m with you. Been dead set on a 16’ 340i until I stumbled across this car. My biggest thing is I want manual.
Any nearer to the rs3 yet?
As a Volvo owner all 5cyls make me drool
5 cylinders are up there with the inline 6 with sounds, power, and reliability. Am I right?
@@youngkrillz732 Power and reliability you can say are comparable, sound wise they are closer to a baby V10
I'm running stage 2 E85 FBO and it's a beast!! Love every minute in it.
I love this Audi “3”model it looks so good.
I bought an Audi S3 yesterday and I love it
This is easily the most desirable car on sale today at any price to me.
I love RS3’s definitely one of my dream cars
The SOUND it makes under Hard throttle is BEAUTIFUL 😍
The why he explained the driver modes @3:40 🏎💥💨 party mode 🤣
@8:10min That launch tho...peeled back in the seat tho
Man, I couldn’t imagine another 350+ in my RS3 😬
Can't wait to get one of these!
I'm watching this sitting at work and lookin at my RS3 parked right where I can see it. The car my guys is PERFECT.
It sounds like a baby v10, that thing rips
My thoughts exactly!!!! Played the video, forgot my drink, was walking back and heard a "Viper" and was like "Oh DP must've meant a Viper or there's a Viper on autoplay or something." NOPE! Audi I5! Hot damn, this is amazing!
Yes it sounds just like the E60 V10
Man i just love the sound of a 5 pot
Such a long time before I heard this song, takes me back to 2013 lol. I still have it on me phone LOL
damn i’m in love with this car looks and sounds great. just a quick question, lol. How dark is the tint?
It's basically a 5 cylinder Lambo with this tune and seeing as Lamborghini is owned by the Volkswagen / Audi group. It's like a baby version of the Huracan / R8 V10 but in a saloon body I guess, I think you mentioned it also being the same engine in the TTRS
That’s my dream car..mfs are slept on
Because that 5 cyl is literally a Lambo/Audi V10 cutted in half, you can even bolt on a V10 cyl head on the 5 cyl, of course it won't work the same way but it fits 🤣
Sooooo would they be willing to drop this setup (with a manual of course) in an MK7.5 Golf Alltrack? Asking for myself 😇!
the manual cant take it but there is a swap done on a alltrack
Yes already has been done
@@ebmotorsport2006 I ain’t seen it... where 👀
@@Slowwagonftl it’s been done on a golf r. Not an all track. I think there’s at least 2 RS3 swapped golf R’s on Instagram.
@@ReviewedByAndy yeah and they’re fucking amazing 😍. But I haven’t seen that DAZA engine in a proper wagon yet... it would be a mini RS6 😍
Great video. ☺️
Love to be an owner of one RS3 🖤 it was my dream car for so long and i love every mile/kilometer with that car
On youtube looking at car videos!
15 mins ago "ThatDudeInBlue" Posts a new video. Welp found where my next 12 mins will be!💯💪🏾
Thank you SO much 🙏🏻
Only Audi I'd ever buy. Love that car. RS3 are amazing
Always knew these things were beasts💯
Looks at review...immediately starts looking for RS3’s for sale 🙋🏾♂️
There's aren't many available right now lol. And the prices have shot up!
The Audi RS3 Stock.. is a great track car, and when it comes to mods... INSANE. A friend of mine is doing around 800AWH and with the subtleness of a sedan, they do not appear to be that dangerous. LOL Until you get GAPED from a dig or even a roll race.... they are fast as hell.
You mean drag strip car? I love what these cars can do but I don’t really think of anything from Audi that is great on Track short of an R8
Wish audi would build a more rwd platform car with this engine. Or even a mid engined mini r8.
Mid-engined TTRS would be insane
rear wheeled rs3 coupe would be mad
aehhh, they did an R8 (R8 V10 RWS). the RS3 Quattro system can split the power as needed so that you can go from fwd to awd to 50%-70%(reports of 100% capable)rwd depending on demand. look up haldex 5 system (it is more aggressive split on the RS3 but its all software controlled)
The ttrs is a mini R8
Imagine if Toyota could have collabed with Audi and put this in engine in the Corolla apex and the Rav 4.
This video gives me the drive to build my RS3
The old s3 video popped up on my feed clicked on the channel and got another vid
Coming from a 700whp Evo X, I am seriously considering one of these.
you should. I went from a 513whp evo x to a 2018 Rs3 currently just bolt-ons and it would spank my evo. on e85 with haldex controller I've pulled a 0-60 in 2.8 seconds (street tires on the street) and over 200mph top speed.
@@christopherveilleux3760 How has reliably been?
@@WynterK awesome. I have been "stage 2" for over 30,000 miles (now at 47,xxx) and have launched it over 130 times with 0 issues so far other than a passenger air bag sensor lol.
@@christopherveilleux3760 Wow, looks like I’ll be scheduling a test drive very soon. Who do you recommend for tuning?
@@WynterK I use unitronic tunes and they seem to currently have the most records. However, a new product called DS1 is out now that allows a custom tune and are supported by many tuners. To find one near you join the Dyno Spectrum DS1 RS3 facebook page.
Been holding off on buying one used but they never drop under 50k 🥵
Just buy an s3

@@mrmiagi6052 but the S3 has a 2.0 4 banger not the 2.5 tfsi 5 cylinder.
@@mrmiagi6052 rs3 has the 5 cylinder
Great review, although after seeing Kyle ride in one of these (which caught fire in spectacular form) it scared the -dolphin noise- out of me
That was an aftermarket brake line install failure.
There's a guy in my neighborhood with one of these and I'll admit,I never knew audi had a stupid fast ass beast of a car like this..this thing is a DEMON..I had to come look it up
Still haven’t been handed an L in my RS3 and I’m only making 550WHP 🤣
Me either
Sick cars
Where you located. Got a 340 for you 😁
lmao same^ got a F80 for ya ;)
550 to the crank or wheels?? I'm making 620 to the crank and 560 to the wheels with my stage 2 E85 setup 😏
I never knew this car had this much potential.
Have you been living under a rock for the passed 4 years?
If you check out iroz motor sports, you’ll be blown away. Truly an incredible platform.
@@RadDadisRad im not really into Audis or VWs so i dont know much about them.
@@rsximus yeah thats awesome
yeah vw and audi are very different, only the golf and A3 are the same, engines like this 5 cylinder really sets them apart
David, you HAVE to drive the first gen TTRS with this engine and the manual gearbox!!!
After just buying a 2015 Audi A3 2.0 T Q S Series, I have Fallen in love with these cars. Sold my mustang for one and wow what an upgrade. Fast and comfortable. A total wolf in sheep’s clothing. This car moves out!!!! Especially with a tune and a few hundred bucks in mods.
Rs3 gang!!! Love my rs3!! I think I will keep that thing forever!!!
These 5 bangers don't fuck around
4:22 that launch put a big smile on my face
I would love a bloopers video of you and a GPS
Worst nightmare huh
Next day: We need a new Engine
The electrics or fuel system take a knee all the time in moder Audi's...
Inline 5 monster. TTRS is even lighter. 💪💪💪💪
RS3 looks way better. TTRS is kinda feminine looking 🤷♂️
@@ninjamonkey1 most cars are feminine if you ask me. Most car guys refer to their cars as “ she”
