You can’t argue with the package proposed by the Audi RS3 Sportback. It offers a great engine note, 362 hp and more space than the hatchback while retaining its performance figures.

And these figures border on supercar territory, with 100 km/h coming up in 4.3 seconds and going on to (what we assume is) a limited top speed of 250 km/h or 155 mph. It also doesn’t weight an excessive amount, for what is almost an estate car with a 2.5-liter engine and all-wheel drive – it tips the scales at 1,520 kg or 3,351 lbs; that’s 55 kg or 121 lbs lighter than its predecessor.

It’s also pretty good in the snow and Audi is keen to emphasize this with a batch of fresh photos showing the RS3 Sportback playing in the powder. There are some artistic shots of it in the gallery below, but also some as it was driven by touring car legend Mattias Eckström, who, mind you, is pretty good on a loose surface too.
