Audi only recently unveiled its stunning new TT-RS model, but as the company stated earlier this month it has no plans of cutting down on development of new models. This is good news for the legions of Audi fans who have long been waiting for the company to stick its ‘RS’ performance badge to the back of an A3 hatch, and today new spy shots of a test mule on the Nurburgring give even more hope that the uber-hatch is really on its way.
Speaking with Dutch website Autovisie, Audi development boss Michael Dick said a new RS3 fitted with the five-cylinder turbocharged engine from the TT-RS was under serious consideration.
