Earlier this month we showed you a nice gallery of the Audi RS3 in Monaco, which was followed by a group of automotive journalists driving the RS3 near the principaute. We are not completely sure, but it looks like they made a video while chasing each other. Result is a RS3 being chased by a second RS3.
To refresh your mind we can tell you that the RS3 comes with a 2.5 liter turbocharged five cylinder engine that provides 340hp and 450Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the road via a seven-speed S tronic and quattro permanent all-wheel drive. The RS3 accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 4.6 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h.
soo nice!! don´t be gentle it´s a rental! =D
Electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h…Why the hell bother than with all the power , a big engine and a clever gearbox when it is no faster than every other car, because of stupid german oder even EU regulations?
It’s ridiculous.
Great to see such fast hatchbacks driving around.

The 250km/h rule is made by the German car manufacturers not the state or the EU government! They made this decission a over 20 years ago.
.. and the interesting stuff happens below 200km/h anyway!
Topspeed is not that interesting in real life anyways. Acceleration is far more important..
I think the grey one is in these videos, made by option auto, a french magazine.
