Audi has officially unveiled the latest addition to its RS series in Geneva, the RS3 Sportback.

Officially presented in November last year, the 2012 edition of the Audi RS3 Sportsback is powered by the same engine as the Audi TT-RS. The 2.5-litre turbocharged 5-cylinder engine provides 250 kW and 450 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the road via a seven-speed S tronic and quattro permanent all-wheel drive. The RS3 accelerates from 0 – 100km/h in 4.6 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h.

The base price of the smallest member of the RS family is EUR49 900 in Germany. Audi SA has not yet indicated availability or pricing.
