With a new crop of super hatches appearing, Audi's hardcore RS3 is looking to stand among them with this new second generation model. I'd love it if this new hot hatch was included in a future GT along with more faster EU hot hatches.

This looks great and the performance should be immense. I wish they did a 3dr though as they always look better.

Voted but never been a big fan of "Audi Photocopier Syndrome". Couldn't tell if this was a RS4 or RS3 from a short distance...Performance should be immense, but will it be better than A45 AMG?? I feel a comparison test coming!!

Edit: Oops @BJahalt88 there seems to be a thread for this car already:
