About the RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift

The 2025 Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,650 kg with 396 bhp, which works out at 240 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.76 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 402nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 29th quickest of the 261 Audis here. It leaves better than it pulls: 117.1 mph at the lights is only the 655th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
