The Audi R3 is a replacement for the stillborn R4. It will be co-developed with a Volkswagen sports car; we’ll see a concept of VW's version in just a few months' time, before development starts in full for launch in 2013.
The R3 will replace the current TT and will be exclusively powered by four-cylinder engines in order to keep "the Audi a safe distance from the Boxster and Cayman." Price will be kept in the €25,000 to €45,000 range.The interiors of the car are well designed and provide complete comfort to the occupants. The car has automatic climate control, remote central locking and power windows along with electric adjustment feature for the seats. The steering also has rake and reach adjustment feature. The car has a top grade dash integrated music system.The car is loaded with several safety features. These include as many as 6 airbags, fog lamp, traction control and parking sensors. The car also has antilock brake system, electronic brake force distribution feature and electronic stability program.Under the hood, Audi would install the 180bhp 1.8-liter TFSI motor, a 2.0-liter version rated at 220bhp and a brawny S-line model good for some 280bhp. Diesel TDI engines would also likely be an option at least in Europe. Versions could include a frugal 125bhp variant of the latest 1.6-liter common-rail as well as 170 and 204bhp versions of the 2.0-liter.
