Video of the Day: Audi RS 3 vs Audi RS 3 vs Audi RS 3

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="80828"] words: Bill, photo: carwow No, my fingers didn't stutter while typing out the title.

They all have the 2.5L 5-cylinder but the MK I has 340 hp/354 lb-ft and weighs 3,472 lbs, the MK ...
