2022 Audi RS3 Engine, Transmission and Power
Unparalleled maximum speed and acceleration-2.5 TFSI:
The Audi RS3 equipped with a powerful five-cylinder engine is one of the most famous models in its market segment. 2.5 The TFSI engine has been awarded the International Engine of the Year for nine consecutive times. The latest generation of compact sports cars are now equipped with engines. The new RS3 model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. Their top speed is limited to 250 km/h, but 280 km/h can also be selected. Dynamic components and ceramic brakes can achieve a top speed of 290 km/h, which makes the Audi RS3 a leader in its class in terms of acceleration from 2250 to 5600 rpm.This is 20 Nm more than its predecessor. Therefore, the Audi RS3 accelerates even faster at low engine speeds.
The maximum engine output of 294 kW (400 PS) is available at 5,600 rpm earlier than before, and is expanded to 7,000 rpm on a broad platform. The new ECM also increases the speed at which all transmission components interact with each other. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission brings the power of the five-cylinder engine to the asphalt road with shorter shift times and a sportier transmission ratio. The unique ignition sequence of the 12453 engine and the unparalleled sound that follow make driving more exciting. For the first time, the exhaust system is equipped with a fully adjustable flap control device that can maintain the middle position, thereby further enhancing the sound performance. It can be set up using the Audi driving selection dynamic processing system. For example, Dynamic and RS Performance opened Finns earlier, and the emotional elements of the sound are more obvious. In addition, the optional RS sports exhaust system enhances the clear sound of the IVF cylinder engine.
The new Audi RS3 is the first Audi model with a torque splitter as standard. Replace the rear axle differential and the old multi-disc clutch assembly on the rear axle. Instead, each engine uses an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. This ensures that the correct torque is optimally distributed to the rear axle. For a more dynamic driving style, the torque divider can increase the traction of the external rear wheels under maximum wheel load, thereby significantly reducing the tendency of understeer. When turning left, it transmits torque to the right rear wheel, when turning right to the left rear wheel, and when going straight to the two wheels. In this case, the torque divider only distributes the full force to one rear wheel, and the output of each wheel may be as high as 1,750 Newton meters. Audi even developed the RS3 drive mode "RS Torque Rear" as the characteristic curve of the drift mode torque divider. The RS performance mode designed specifically for the track is another new innovation. It uses a special engine and gearbox configuration and is designed for the semi-smooth tires originally offered as a factory option on the RS3.The torque divider ensures particularly dynamic and sporty driving along the longitudinal axis, while minimizing understeer and oversteer. These modes can be selected through Audi's driving selection dynamic processing system, which also provides comfort, automatic, dynamic, RS personalization and efficiency profiles.
The standard RS sports suspension has a newly developed RS3 dedicated damper and valve system. As part of the rebound and compression stage characteristics, the valve provides particularly sensitive damping behavior. This allows the suspension to respond appropriately. RS plus sports suspension with adaptive shock absorber control is optional. It can continuously and individually adjust each shock absorber according to road conditions, driving conditions and the mode selected by Audi. ... The three comfort, balance and sports characteristics ensure a clearly visible impact distribution. Large camber angles, that is, the wheels are more inclined to the road, which leads to more precise steering behavior and greater turning dynamics. In the Audi A3, the wheels on the front axle of the new RS3 have only added a negative degree. To this end, the pivot bearing was modified, and the chainstay was equipped with harder bearings, subframes and stabilizers.The rear axle adopts a four-bar linkage structure with independent springs and shock absorbers, a subframe and a tubular stabilizer. The wheel bearings that are harder than those on the Audi A3 and S3 absorb the increased lateral force generated by the torque divider . The camber angle is almost half a degree higher than the progressive steering of the A3 RS. The ratio changes with the steering angle. As the steering angle increases, the ratio becomes smaller and the steering is easier. Depending on the speed, it also helps. The spring and damper configuration is obviously stiff, and the body is 10 mm lower than the S3 and 25 mm lower than the A3. Modular Vehicle Dynamics Controller (mVDC) is also a new feature in RS3. The system collects data from all horizontal dynamic components, enabling more precise and faster interactions. ■ Torque divider, adaptive damper and selective wheel torque adjustment for precise steering and control. In general, this will increase the flexibility of the vehicle, especially on winding roads.
Powerful deceleration: six-piston steel and ceramic brakes:
The Audi RS3 comes standard with a larger newly developed six-piston steel brake to control the power of the five-cylinder; a 380 x 38 mm ceramic brake system can be installed on the front axle. special. The pedal is particularly suitable for braking. Compared with steel brakes, the weight of the high-performance brake system has increased by 10 kg. The perforated ventilation panel has a front size of 375 x 36 mm and a rear size of 310 x 22 mm, making it larger and more stable than previous models. Air control reduces the cooling time of the brakes by 20%. This means that when the brakes are hard and the pedal feels the same, the peak temperature can be lowered more quickly. In addition, it also reduces the wear of copper-free brake pads, an increase of 15%. Those who choose ceramic brakes can choose gray, red or blue brake calipers, and those who prefer the steel version can order red brake calipers instead of black.
Expressive and Unmistakable: Exterior and Lighting:
The design of the new Audi RS3 is more dynamic and powerful than its predecessor. At the front, the wide RS bumper, newly designed bicycle frame, unique honeycomb grille and large air intakes give this compact sports car a distinctive appearance. RS3 comes standard with flat wedge-shaped LED headlights and LED taillights with dynamic flashing lights; matrix LED headlights with color frames are optional, with side digital daytime running lights on the outer corners. As an LED pixel field, it ensures an unmistakable view. A checkered flag appears in the left headlight as a back and forth dynamic scene, and the word RS3 appears on the driver's side. When driving from both sides, the checkered flag will be lit. There is also a new design element behind the front wheel arch cover: eye-catching additional air ducts, the threshold with black trim has also been redesigned, combined with the wheel arch cover on display, giving the expressive appearance of the new RS3 Made a contribution. The wheelbase of the front axle is 33 mm longer than the previous model. In Sportback, the rear axle track has been expanded by 10 mm.RS3 is equipped with 19-inch light alloy wheels and 10Y spokes as standard. The real racing look comes with optional 5Y spokes with the RS brand logo. Upon request, Audi can also install semi-liquid Pirelli P Zero "Trofeo R" tires for the first time. The finishing touch to the motorsport style is the redesigned RS rear bumper with integrated diffuser and the RS exhaust system with two large exhaust pipes. Oval exhaust. The new Audi RS3 models can be ordered in two exclusive RS colors: kyalami green and kemora gray. It also offers a contrasting color for the first time-bright black. Selected exterior elements such as honeycomb grille on Singleframe are standard in matte or high-gloss black. The AluOptic Trim package is optional. And highlight the front bumper, diffuser plug-in and around the window. Rocker inserts made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer can also provide a more sporty appearance. The same applies to the rearview mirror cover, the tailgate spoiler of a sedan and the roof spoiler of the Sportback.
Interior, Comfort and Cargo:
Inside, the RS3 sedan will be very similar to the A3 and S3 variants, with similar passenger and luggage space. Audi does not equip every instrument panel gorgeously. We hope to be able to put some digital indicators on it. The air conditioner with physical buttons is located below the center touch screen and includes a container built into the center console. Unfortunately, it seems that the driver has to select a gear through a strange gear. There is also a circular control panel with stereo controls nearby, but we have to wait to see if it is intuitive or annoying.
The Interior - Genuine Racing feeling:
In the interior, many RS-specific elements also highlight its sports characteristics: the display screen appears in the standard 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit plus, which displays the engine speed as a bar graph, and displays power and performance. The speed display is optional in the new "RS Runway" design. In this case, the values are displayed in the opposite direction, visually similar to an airstrip, with the highest speed in the foreground and the lowest speed in the foreground. In addition, the Audi virtual cockpit plus includes a gforces display. , The lap speed and acceleration are 0100 km/h, 0200 km/h, quarter mile and eight miles respectively. The color of the speed indicator changes from green to yellow and red, flashing like a racing car to indicate the ideal time to change gears. The 10.1-inch touch screen contains a so-called "RS monitor", which displays the temperature of the coolant, engine and transmission oil, and tire pressure.Also for the first time in the Audi RS3, in addition to the gear shift indicator on the windshield, a head-up display is also displayed in the driver's field of vision. The carbon fiber dashboard and RS sports seats with RS embossing and anthracite contrast stitching enhance the real racing feel. The seat cover can be made of high-quality Nappa leather, with RS honeycomb quilting and high-gloss black, red or green contrast stitching for the first time. The red and green RS design bag includes special foot pads with contrast stitching and RS embroidery, and a seat belt with colored edges. The design plus package includes red or green seating areas and colored decorations on the air nozzles.
2022 Audi RS3 Entertainment System (Infotainment) and Connectivity:
Based on the infotainment system used in A3 and S3, we expect RS3 to have a 10.1-inch touch screen in the middle of the dashboard, which can be controlled by touch input, steering wheel buttons, and voice commands. It also includes standard compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphones. Integrated navigation, subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspots and wireless charging are also standard or optional.
Everything under control:
Steering wheel with 12 o'clock direction bar and RS mode button
The Audi RS3 comes standard with a three-spoke leather RS sports multifunctional steering wheel with a flat floor. Equipped with a built-in steering column switch made of high-quality die-cast zinc. Faster display of the steering wheel position bar during dynamic driving. Alternatively, the RS circular steering wheel can be used for manual identification, that is, capacitive coupling for power steering functions. Both have a new RS mode button on the right radio. You can use the buttons to select Audi RS Performance, RS Individual driving mode or the last driving mode used. In the two RS modes, the instrument display and the front display with flashing shift indicators are more sporty.
