Audi RS3 GT hot-hatch could be christened ‘RS3 Competition Limited’

Audi is working on a new limited-edition RS3 hatchback, which will also be the last time we see the brand’s turbocharged 5-cylinder petrol engine in a production car.

We’ve been referring to the new special edition as ‘RS3 GT’. However, the latest rumours suggest that it might be called ‘RS3 Competition Limited’.

We’ve already seen prototypes of the RS3 GT testing at the Nurburgring, sporting an aggressive body kit. The car is expected to feature a revised front bumper with canards, wider fenders, a diffuser with dual exhaust tips and a roof spoiler.

In its current form, the 2.5-liter TFSI engine delivers 394 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. This inline 5-cylinder unit is expected to be tweaked and upgraded further.
