Now apparently the Audi RS 3 is being touted as a "Grand finale" car like the BMW 1M and according to industry rumours we should see it very soon.
Of course it has fallen into the Audi Trap because in the segment the Audi is noted for it's terrible steering and mediocre handling , putting in a TT RS engine might give it power but the aged chassis might have other things to say. Again it is down to the Rules of BMW M that the standard car has to be really,really good before it is transformed into an M car, the 1er fits that
criteria, Audi A3 less so.
I am interested to see how they will market it and if they do follow the pattern with a personal introduction like the 1M , if they do we can now see how desperately Audi wants to be perceived as BMW.
