sbgwz Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 A few years back my brother was working for a friend of the family selling prestige cars you know the expensiv stuf that is OTT but one day i saw a red audi parked on the drive and it had audi rs4 alloys and an RS bodykit and porsche brakes after a slight puzzling look from me by brother kindly informed me it was an RS3 and there were only 2 in the country and they were both at his work. So i was wondering does anyone know of an existence of these 2 cars but please dont tell me its an Ebay special this car was clearly something different.

Daz Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 The RS3 doesn't exist. It would have been an modified S3 or A3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgwz Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 thats the thing though it didnt seem 2 be eiva of them as it would have bin silly for someone 2 go 2 such extent on an A3 or an S3 just to make it a RS3 but then when two of them have been done in the same colours same parts same detail just a different colour leather i thought this could b a rarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 They are dreaming, as Daz said there was never an official RS3, few people have done body work changes to make their A3/S3 look like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ENVY Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 That's all it is my friend, a fable! Believe me, if the RS3 did exist....someone on here would own one or at least have knowledge of one. I've seen a few cars S3's around that have been modified to look like an RS model, with badges, bumpers, brakes, etc. In reality for me personally, it's just ruining what is an already tasty motor as everyone know's they don't actually exist. It's like taking a Focus ST, ripping the badge off and sticking "RS Cosworth" on the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 The closest thing to a real RS3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgwz Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 fair enough i just thought it was higly odd that anyone would go to such lengths twice but i have 2 hand it to whoeva did it they did a hell of a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I don't think you need to ask your brother as I'm fairly sure we all know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
