The 2022 Audi RS 3 is a blast to drive around the track with its distinctive exhaust note and advanced all-wheel-drive system, but it's by no means a perfect car. Review --
With electric cars beginning to arrive in greater numbers, the number of vehicles that can achieve high speeds with great quickness only continues to grow. However, there is a shortage of fun cars, cars that delight the driver and stir the soul. Thetries to fill that role. Everything that’s changed about it, from the expressive styling, to the unique 5-cylinder exhaust note, to its mechanical changes, seems to be in the name of fun.
Audi quotes a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds and that definitely feels achievable with launch control, but where the engine shines most is between 20 mph and 50 mph. The turbo-5 is a bit old-school in its power delivery. There’s definite lag but once the engine starts to wind out it kicks very hard with engaging suddenness. The transmission sometimes works as an impediment to power. If left to its own devices, it doesn’t kick down early enough under braking.
The differential shines most on the track in RS Performance mode. In this mode, the all-wheel drive system is set up to minimize both understeer and oversteer for faster and more stable cornering. That almost sounds too good to be true, but it’s amazing to experience. The solution to feeling the car step out in either direction is just to stay on the throttle and let the RS 3 figure things out.
This wouldn’t happen in a purely RWD vehicle as getting on the throttle like that with the car unbalanced would cause a spin. There’s an argument that AWD dilutes the purity of the driving experience, especially in the track environment, but this is better to me. I’ll take the RS 3’s mostly rear-drive feel, but it adds the security blanket of AWD to cover up faults and provide maximum grip.The new suspension also helps the RS 3 to put its power down cleanly in those situations.
