No More Audisteer?! New Audi RS3 (8Y) on the Nürburgring

Thank you Achim for letting me have a go in your new RS3! The car was really nice to drive. There was of course still some understeer, but that had more to do with the tyres that were on the car. And the emergency systems switching back on on heavy braking was a bit inconvenient. For the rest it's nice that the car does not upshift by itself like the predecessors (or the current Golf GTI/Cupra/S3).

If you don't know if turned off assists will still kick in, the fuse is the answer.
Dangerous if a driver like Mischa knows what he's doing, assist kicking in could be very counterproductive on the limit.

[omedonnie]

A sport of an owner, and a good sporty drive Misha, well done. You made the owner proud of his car.

The Audi Pre Sense needs to calm down. 😂

The rev counter goes the wrong way too IMO.

Sitting in my bed in hospital loving the laps and glad to see you enjoy the stock version of the new RS3. Awesome color too!

[Christian-kguk]

I hope that you get another chance in an RS3 8Y with the Pirelli Trofeo R's, carbon ceramics and maybe in the dynamic mode to let the rear break out a little more, to extract all the potential. Loved this video.

Nice. Mad how the car goes mad a couple of times. Even putting the radio on for you too. Good lap.✌

[randyragy]

you guys had the adaptive cruise control and lane centering on lol 😂

[mnoovurvi]

I hate that the rev counter goes backwards.

Who makes these decisions ?

[hamzasherazi]

Not too much of a fan of the latest Audi's at the minute but I quite like the spec on this one. Apart from the annoying interruptions from the car, it was a pretty good lap. The owner seemed to be enjoying the lap too.

[quantum_coach]

The owner looks very happy and excited, smiley and happy... :). Very good drive Misha!

[furkangunal]

That car definetly need an aftermarket exhaust, speaker sound is boring.

[brightbluesmurf]

With regards to the neutral handling there's "RS Torque Rear" which will give you more rear bias and oversteer

[johnjerrehian]

Nice to "hear" of the improvements on a great car.

[stoneeh]

I really should get my car 100% so I can maybe also convince Misha to do a lap with me once. He's got a lot better choices, but who knows :) I really put him way up there, as far as driving is concerned - very rarely, only with well known pro drivers like Walter or Marc (Basseng), do I get the impression of someone driving as smoothly while also insanely fast.

[crowntug]

You know what, I actually really liked how you recorded the intro after you already went for a lap and therefore gave a bit of your thoughts on it before we get to see the lap!

[fullsendsimracing]

It's so unfortunate that they managed to kill the 5 cylinder sound. It sounds completely fake inside the cabin

[Alex-dzxw]

Misha which one did you like more ? This or the a45s ? Great video as usual🙌🙌

[MitchTube]

Made it look easy. Seems like a well balanced car

[rereg]

Amazing how capable a stock RS3 is these days.

It seems like after 413 activations of the Audi pre sense, the car starts scolding you in German -- or whatever was going on at 5:10. Likely the radio.
