*** dimitri wtf have you done to the photo of the red car......yiv bent it.....lolI agree that Audi done goofed with the production RS3. As others in this thread already mentioned, they had it all there with the A3 Clubsport Quattro and they just had to make the North American RS3 (sedan) different from the European RS3 (hatchback).
But lets take a look again at front fascia downgrade from the RS3 Concept (A3 Clubsport) and the RS3.

It's not a Rs4 saloon either mate,maybe it's been dabbled with lolFrom an Aussie Audi forum in response to the original photo in this thread.
Not so sure that photo is the RS3 sedan.

Oh boy, this have me a good laugh first thing this morning! !
Looks like something Noddy would drive!! lol
Photo taken from the audience of an artist impression on a screen. None of the body lines match anything, inaccurate grill background, mismatch of panels.
Edit - no I'm not sure but neither is anyone else
You're right Warwick. If you look at the original photo the front end dimensions are all wrong. The right light cluster is closer to the 'camera' than the left and yet the front right of the car looks smaller!
Case closed, it's a botched artists impression. Will await some accurate info
Does this mean there's still hope on the RS3 sedan actually coming out looking like the A3 Clubsport?
& if this is just an artist impression, hopefully Audi seen this and seen the backlash that this ugly mock up caused and thus we won't get that car.
That
That's just so wrong in so many ways
Well if that gets released in say 2 year's,l think it's gonna come too late to the partyGuess we'll just have to wait and see.
Release isn't due for about 2 years so plenty of time for us to mull over more noddymobile pics!! lol
Yeah the rims for a startLooks a helluva lot more like it to me.............I'm guessing the rims are wronging you though mate??!!
.....emmm, just looked at a close up and I think I see what you mean!!
Yeah the rims for a start
The wheel arches are far acute nothing gradual about them as is the body panel gaps around the wing/bumper a great waste of a stunning colored saloon mate
Go get it done mate but properly lolYeah agreed, there's some continuity problems in the seams, also round the front end of the bonnet but the overall shape is stunning in my opinion. Wheel arches do need smoothing out too.
Much better. They're all handsome boys!Probably a true'er representation of the 2016 facelift model
(Bottom right pic)

Really to be honest you don't have to be Einstein to visualise how it's going to look ye just have to look at the new A4 and TT ir will be the exact sameMuch better. They're all handsome boys!

It IS the new RS3 sedan:
"When we reached out to Audi spokeswoman Amelia Fine-Morrison, she confirmed it is indeed the upcoming RS3." - Car and Driver
Ergo, we've seen the new front end on the facelifted cars. For me, it was always about what they'll bring to the interior - the lovely TT steering wheel and virtual cockpit are surely a given.
even happier with my 65 SB now hah that looks fugly!
despite it being superior in every way to the old car.
Has since been discounted
C&D followed up
VC is an abomination - adds nothing.
Audi need to focus on the steering, suspension and dynamics
A TT wheel, lol, seriously not important
And it's not a zero-sum game. They can change those elements I've suggested without any effort, while spending years tweaking those things you mentioned.
No I'm stating what is important to a car in this category
As everyone has noted, perhaps except yourself, it has glaring gaps in those critical areas
I suffer them because we don't drive the car to the degree that those issues cause concern.
