Why was the RS3 discontinued?
According to Autoblog, Audi will indeed discontinue the RS3 in 2027, citing stricter Euro 7 emissions regulations in Europe. These are the same regulations that helped bring about the end of the Honda Civic Type R on the Continent. The RS3 is a really good car on the right kind of road, and it’s usable for much more of the year than more exotic options. It’s not as visceral as something like the A45 S – despite being the same power and also AWD – but the fact that it feels like it’s more on your side makes it just as quick.The RS 3, with its supercar performance and its Group B rally heritage is a modern interpretation of the sleeper sedan, while the RS 4 stands as a testament to the golden age of naturally aspirated V8s.While the Audi S3 is considered an entry-level performance A3, the RS3 is considered top-of-the-line for the A3 models.Engine, Transmission and 0-60mph time Where the RS3 has had the edge, however, is in terms of power, with a 27bhp advantage.

What is better, RS3 or RS6?
Verdict. To me at least, the RS6 is pretty much the ultimate fast and practical car. One which is just as comfortable plodding around town as it is tearing it up on the track. Keep in mind, too, this may be one of your last chances to have a car which looks like this, equipped with a V8 engine. Both the RS6 and RS7 offer remarkable parity in terms of performance.
