Blazing performance, compact size. Audi has added a new dynamic model of the serial RS: RS 3 Sportback. In a great tradition of the brand, its engine is a five-cylinder and turbocharger technology.
From a displacement of 2.5 liters, 250 kW (340 hp) of power and 450 Nm (331.90 pounds ft) of torque, with an average fuel consumption of just 9.1 liters of fuel per 100 km (25 , 85 U.S. mpg).
Power is transmitted to the road via a seven-speed S e and quattro permanent four-wheel drive. 19-inch wheels and wings made of plastic reinforced with carbon fiber (CFRP) stress Sportback Audi RS 3 position of distinction.
Power and sound: the engine.
Each model Audi RS represents the pinnacle of its model range - the RS 3 Sportback, developed by quattro GmbH, which now comprises the dynamic philosophy of the compact class. It rockets from a standstill to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in 4.6 seconds - a performance index has exceeded the competition. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h (155.34 mph). Same car as compact, weighing just 1575 kg (3,472.28 pounds), uses an average of only 9.1 liters of fuel per 100 km (25.85 U.S. MPG) and emits 212 grams of CO2 per km (341.18 g / mile) . This efficiency is mainly due to an oil pump delivery on request and a regeneration system that recovers energy as the car decelerates.
The 2.5-liter engine in the RS 3 Sportback will thrill passengers with the huge pulling power and its greedy heats up to 6800 rpm. Guttural roar and growl, backed by the pace of signing the five-cylinder firing order is the soundtrack classic Audi. A flap in the sound branch exhaust amplifies the noise further. The flap is controlled via the standard Sport button that varies the engine response.
Powerful five-cylinder has a long tradition at Audi. In the 1980's, race cars and production cars used to exclude competition. Even the first Audi RS, the RS 1994 2, had a five-cylinder engine. The 2.5-liter unit, now part of the specification TT RS, today redefines the concept of art, which has recently been voted "International Engine of the Year" by a panel of senior journalists of the car.
The 2.5 TFSI offers 250 kW (340 hp) and a displacement of 2,480 cc: a specific output of 100.8 kW (137.1 hp) per liter. The maximum torque of 450 Nm (331.90 lb ft) is available at the bottom of the rev range, around 1600 rpm and remains constant up to 5,300 rpm. These general parameters of performance and excellent acceleration values elasticity.
Only 49 cm (19.29 inches) long, five-cylinder engine is extremely compact, tipped the scales at only 183 kilograms (403.45 pounds). The crankshaft is made of compacted graphite cast iron, high strength but lightweight material. Audi is the first automaker to use this material in a gasoline engine. A perfect location for further reinforcement of load blocks. Lightweight design concept for the Audi RS 3 Sportback weight under control and pay great in terms of axle load distribution and, ultimately, treatment.
The large turbocharger generates up to 1.2 bar boost pressure. The downstream intercooler achieves an efficiency of over 80 percent. Like all turbo gasoline TFSI technology combines Audi 2.5 Turbo with FSI direct injection. The marriage of these two technologies allows a high compression ratio (10,0:1) with a similar ratio of high performance. The flaps in the intake duct mixing the air flowing in. The two camshafts, each of which can be adjusted through 42 degrees of crankshaft rotation, also increase the effectiveness of the mixture formation.
Speed and grip: the transmission.
The compact seven-speed S tronic transmits power five-cylinder engine through three axes: one axis and two output shafts. Like all dual-clutch transmissions, which has two transmission structures. The process of change is very soft, to be held in hundredths of seconds that the grip change without noticeable interruption of tractive power. Seventh speed is great - a measure that reduces fuel consumption.
The driver can operate the S tronic seven-speed automatic and a manual two. Gears are transferred using the paddles behind the wheel or lever selection. Launch of the inspection system operated by Sprint in a dead-stop, explosive inside a tire with a small turbo slide.
Provide power to the road with effortless ease, the quattro permanent four-wheel drive traction provides RS 3 Sportback, dynamism and stability. Its central element is an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch mounted at the end of the screw shaft to achieve a favorable distribution of axle loads. Located inside a package tray bathed in oil.
Thanks to quattro, the propulsive power can be distributed to each axle as needed. When slippage occurs in one of the axes, an electric pump operates at lightning speed to increase oil pressure. The pump presses the clutch disc and continuously, allowing the couple to be redirected accordingly. Thanks to a powerful battery, the process takes only a few milliseconds.
Dynamics and safety: the chassis.
Defines the cornerstone of rigid precise management of RS 3 Sportback structure makes it happen. Four-link rear suspension - with the track measuring 1,528 millimeters (60.16 cm) - is anchored to the frame and features high-strength steel for arms control, which means it handles longitudinal and lateral forces separately.
Expanded to 1564 mm (61.57 inch) monitor, McPherson front suspension is a construction, also with a separate base. The main components are aluminum construction. Thanks to the electromechanical unit, the rack and pinion steering is very effective, with a 16.2:1 gear ratio and live sport.
Coil springs and dampers provide vertical support renewed. Sport Body Suspension calculates RS 3 Sportback 25 mm (0.98 inches) than the A3. The new top of the range A3 model series offers 19-inch aluminum wheels with 235/35 series tires front and 225/35 rear. Standard wheels are mechanically polished titanium-look design, but is optionally available in black with a red edge of the circle.
The ventilated discs measure 370 millimeters (14.57 inches) in diameter at the front and 310 millimeters (12.20 inches) at the rear. The friction rings are perforated for maximum heat dissipation before. They are connected by hollow aluminum disk brake covers, which are surrounded by four-piston fixed calipers painted a glossy black and bears the logo RS. The electronic stabilization program (ESP) has a sport mode and can be switched off completely.
Just carry on its steering response, the RS 3 Sportback takes curves with enthusiasm and leaves them with agility, stability and peace. The threshold of stability is very high, rounded mastery of effort that the nature of this powerful compact car.
Inside and outside: dynamic design.
The new series high-A3 model suggests the explosive potential of the first taste. Together as xenon headlights, the front apron, a picture of the charcoal grill diamond design with a distinctive air intakes look good.
Side view is dominated by flared front fenders with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), a threshold of visible panels, exterior mirror housings and a matte aluminum roof spoiler large. Shiny black diffuser insert and two tailpipes on the left behind an elliptical stress design. RS 3 characters adorn the image of a grill and tailgate.
The dynamic style is suitable for the interior, all in black and wearing a series of logos RS 3. The sports seats are covered in fine nappa leather with contrast stitching for cash, in the light of the scale or piano black finish aluminum look new race, multifunction leather steering wheel, sport steering wheel is flat. The selector lever is specially designed instruments. The driver information system can display boost pressure and oil temperature and a timer.
The RS 3 Sportback comes with a wide range of standard equipment, including the sport button on the back of the parking assistance system, air conditioning, radio system and chorus Xenon Plus headlights with LED daytime running lights. Audi offers customers a range of optional features: front bucket seats, roof rails in aluminum look dull, style and package aluminum or matte black. Five exterior colors are available, plus an unlimited choice of custom paint jobs.
The new series high-A3 model was the fourth model in the Audi built the Audi Hungaria Gyor, where he is rolling off the assembly line next to the TT Coupe, TT Roadster and the A3 Cabriolet.
Deliveries of the RS 3 Sportback will be launched in early 2011. The base price in Germany will be € 49 900.
