New 2025 Audi RS3 8Y Sportback Facelift Revealed

The Audi RS3 is making a bold return, now boasting a refreshed look after setting a lap record for the fastest compact car around the Nürburgring. While this update is technically a mid-cycle facelift, Audi has made significant changes to this five-cylinder powerhouse. The front grille has been redesigned, flanked by sharper-looking matrix LED headlights with selectable daytime running light patterns. The diamond pattern on the grille is mirrored in the updated air intakes, now featuring vertical black blades.

Audi has also added three openings above the front splitter, creating a more aggressive stance that echoes the 1987 Quattro S1 Pikes Peak, though the resemblance might be a bit of a stretch. At the rear, new taillight graphics and additional reflectors on the bumper give the car a fresh look.

Inside, the RS3 now offers optional carbon bucket front seats with Nappa leather and microfiber, providing a sportier feel, especially for those who plan to take this car to the track. A redesigned steering wheel and shifter, along with some bold red accents, add to the cabin's sporty vibe.

With 395 horsepower under the hood, the RS3 remains a thrilling ride, now with improved adaptive dampers and brake torque vectoring for enhanced performance on the road.
