Presented here is a highly desirable example of Audi’s much celebrated five cylinder hot hatch, combining the practicality of the Sportback body style with the formidable performance of the marque’s RS division. With its distinctive turbocharged engine, quattro all wheel drive system and muscular styling, the model quickly established itself as one of the most capable performance hatchbacks of its era.
Finished in striking red with contrasting dark alloy wheels, this example displays the purposeful design cues that define the RS range, including aggressive front styling, flared wheel arches and subtle RS badging. The wide stance and understated yet athletic appearance give the car a presence that clearly distinguishes it from standard models. The car is further enhanced by desirable OZ alloy wheels which complement its sporting character.
Power is provided by Audi’s renowned turbocharged 2.5 litre five cylinder engine, celebrated for both its distinctive sound and strong performance characteristics. Driving through Audi’s proven quattro all wheel drive system, the car delivers impressive traction and rapid acceleration. The driving experience is further enhanced by F1 style paddle shift controls allowing rapid gear changes when desired.
Inside, the cabin reflects Audi’s reputation for quality and driver focused ergonomics, featuring supportive heated sports seats, a multifunction steering wheel and a well laid out dashboard. The car is equipped with satellite navigation with live updates, and is accompanied by its book pack and service record, with documentation present within the history file.
The odometer currently displays just 42,955 miles, representing notably low mileage for a performance vehicle of this type. The vendor informs us the car remains a standard, unmodified example, a particularly desirable attribute for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
