2020 Audi RS3 Nardo Edition gets a higher top speed and visual upgrades

Only 200 people will be able to travel to America.

Audi unveiled the fourth generation A3 Sportback in the last month. We have spy photos of both the RS3 and HTML3 higher-performance models, as well as the sedan variant. However, this is still months away and customers will need to settle for the current-generation RS3. Audi will be releasing the 2020 Audi RS3 Nardo Edition with a lot of fanfare.

The Nardo Gray exterior paint is the most striking addition to the limited edition model. Audi will only offer 200 examples to the U.S. The RS Singleframe grille is located in the front. The oval exhaust outlets, which are RS-designed, can be found at the rear. The cool gray color is offset by black trim. This includes a gloss-black rear lip spoiler and exterior mirror housings. Black Audi rings and badges complete the look. The sleek package is completed by 19-inch, bi-color wheels.

The RS3 Nardo Edition’s turbocharged 2.5-liter five cylinder engine produces 394 horsepower (294 kilowatts), and 354 pound feet (480 kilowatts). Audi’s Quattro all wheel-drive system routes power through the seven-speed Stronic dual-clutch manual gearbox to all four wheels.

The performance of the RS3 remains unchanged. However, Nardo Edition RS3s can reach speeds up to 174 mph (280 km/h) faster than their non-Nardo peers. This is 19 mph (30 kph faster than a standard RS3. Audi’s Sport exhaust system comes standard with black tips.

You will find red-edged seatbelts and red accent rings, Alcantara kneepads with red stitching, red air vents, accent rings, and red air vents on the Audi Sport Carbon floor mats. Standard features include the 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Audi has announced that the RS3 Nardo Edition will soon be available at Audi dealerships. The 2020 Audi RS3 Nardo Edition starts at $59,900. Add $995 for destination charges, and the price will rise to $60,895.
