To get sub 4 seconds 0-100 in a hot hatch for potentially less than the A45 AMG is completely nuts.
The only issue I can foresee is that VW and Audi are not known for giving us cars with great emotion, steering feel and dynamics...
I hope this changes because I like this R400...

I know three, including me, that would order immediately. In reality I don't think it will happen, not least for Aus.

Simplistic view I know, but why not use the TTRS gearbox? If that's their only issue, c'mon VAG!

Love the fanfare, out it comes and looks.........just like a Golf :D

0-100 in 3.9 well there goes the exclusivity of that benchmark.

Since I can't justify the $105000+ for an RS3 I'm going to get on the list for this, assuming it's not going to be in the same territory. It's going to be a bit ridiculous.

the rs3 will easily be able to be tuned to 350kw. And I'm sure with a bit of extra tweaking, maybe 400kw.
Will be a weapon!

RS3 should start around low $80k's.
