The Audi RS3 Competition Limited is a special edition version of Audi’s iconic performance hatchback and saloon, created to celebrate 50 years of Audi’s legendary five-cylinder engine.
Only 750 examples of the RS3 Competition Limited will be produced worldwide, making it one of the most exclusive versions of the RS3 ever built.
Under the bonnet is the familiar 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine, producing 400hp and 500Nm of torque. Performance remains extremely strong, with 0–62 mph in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 290 km/h.
Although power is unchanged compared with the standard RS3, Audi has introduced several upgrades to make this version more focused and distinctive.
Key highlights include:
• New adjustable coilover suspension – the first time an RS3 has used this setup
• Three-way adjustable dampers allowing changes to low-speed compression, high-speed compression and rebound
• Carbon fibre aerodynamic elements, including front canards and a split front lip
• 19-inch Neodymium gold matte wheels
• Matte carbon mirror caps, side skirts, rear spoiler and diffuser trim
• Matrix LED headlights with a lighting sequence inspired by the engine’s 1-2-4-5-3 firing order
Inside, the RS3 Competition Limited features a unique colour scheme combining black, Neodymium gold and Ginger white, along with RS carbon bucket seats and a numbered plaque in the centre console highlighting the car’s limited production.
Audi has also removed some sound insulation between the engine bay and cabin to allow more of the five-cylinder engine sound into the interior.
The RS3 Competition Limited will be offered in Sportback and Sedan body styles, with a choice of colours including Malachite Green, Daytona Grey and Glacier White Matte.
Pricing starts at just over €100,000, with deliveries expected to begin in mid-2026.
