With the Audi RS 3 competition limited, Audi Sport pays tribute to this powertrain, which has a characteristic sound and power delivery due to its specific firing order (1-2-4-5-3). <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advanced undercarriage technology<\/h2>\n<p>The main technical change from the standard RS 3 is the installation of a specifically developed coilover kit. This system with three-way adjustable shock absorbers allows the driver to fine-tune handling: <\/p>\n<p><strong>Compression (Low and High Speed):<\/strong> Compression damping is adjustable in 12 and 15 steps, respectively. This affects cornering stability and response to uneven road surfaces. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Rebound<\/strong>: The rebound damping is adjustable in 16 steps, which determines the degree of connection between the body and the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stability<\/strong>: A stiffer tubular stabilizer bar is mounted at the rear with a stiffness of 85 N\/mm, combined with modified springs (80 N\/mm).<\/p>\n<p>For track use, the car comes standard with ceramic brakes and optionally available with Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo R semi-slicks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/audi-rs3-competition-limited-2026-foto6-1280x720.jpg\" alt=\"Audi RS 3 Sportback competition limited\" class=\"wp-image-217525\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Audi RS 3 Sportback competition limited<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Motorization and performance<\/h2>\n<p>Under the hood is the 2.5 TFSI engine, which in this version delivers 294 kW (400 hp) and maximum torque of 500 Nm. The RS 3 competition limited accelerates from 0 to 100 km\/h in 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 290 km\/h. To enhance the engine experience in the interior, the insulation at the bulkhead has been reduced. The RS sports exhaust system features fully variable valve actuation, which opens earlier in RS Performance and RS Torque Rear driving modes for more direct sound transmission.   <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/audi-rs3-competition-limited-2026-foto18-1280x720.jpg\" alt=\"Interior Audi RS 3 Sportback competition limited\" class=\"wp-image-217537\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Interior Audi RS 3 Sportback competition limited<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exterior and aerodynamics<\/h2>\n<p>The exterior design focuses on aerodynamic balance. New front carbon canards and a split front spoiler increase pressure on the front axle. On the Sportback, a specific roof spoiler adds stability, while the Limousine features a modified trunk spoiler.  <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exclusive styling details include:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Carbon package<\/strong>: Matte carbon finish for the mirror caps, side skirts and diffuser.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rims<\/strong>: 10-spoke 19-inch rims in Neodymium gold matte.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lighting<\/strong>: Matrix LED headlights with a unique start-up scenario that visualizes the engine&#8217;s ignition sequence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Colors<\/strong>: Available in Daytona gray, Glacier white matte and the historic color Malachite green.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interior with historical nod<\/h2>\n<p>In the cabin, exclusivity is emphasized by a combination of black leather and Neodymium gold Dinamica microfiber. The RS bucket seats feature a diamond pattern with Ginger white contrast stitching and back scales of matte carbon. <\/p>\n<p>A striking detail can be found in the Audi virtual cockpit plus: the digital instruments have a white background, a direct reference to the white dials of the 1994 Audi RS 2 Avant. In the center console is a badge with the unique serial number of the 750 examples. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market launch<\/h2>\n<p>The Audi RS 3 competition limited will be offered in Germany starting at \u20ac 108,365 for the Sportback and \u20ac 110,005 for the Limousine. Delivery in Europe starts in mid-2026. Count on much more pennies in the Netherlands, since the Dutch government applies a hefty BPM penalty.  <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Audi RS 3 competition limited The history of the Audi five-cylinder began in 1976 with the second generation of the&hellip;","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":161639,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-165944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-car-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Audi RS 3 competition limited: with blissful five-pitter! - All cars news<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/all-car-news.com\/en\/audi-rs-3-competition-limited-with-blissful-five-pitter\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Audi RS 3 competition limited: with blissful five-pitter! - All cars news\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Audi RS 3 competition limited The history of the Audi five-cylinder began in 1976 with the second generation of the Audi 100.
