04 Oct 2016|1,964 views
Audi Sport customer racing will extend its offering in customer sport starting in the 2017 season with a racing version of the new Audi RS3 that made its world debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. The Audi RS3 LMS is being developed by Audi Sport customer racing for the TCR category, which is still relatively new.
The Audi RS3 LMS accelerates from 0-100km/h in about 4.5 seconds and achieves a top speed of about 240km/h. In TCR trim, the proven four-cylinder 2.0-litre TFSI engine delivers 330bhp.
In terms of safety, Audi Sport customer racing is not making any compromises. The extensive safety package includes a Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)-conformant safety fuel tank, a racing safety cell, the PS3 safety seat, FIA safety nets on both sides of the seat, and a rescue hatch in the roof like the one used in the Audi R8 LMS.
Audi Sport customer racing will start delivering the first Audi RS3 LMS cars to customers this December, in time for the major TCR racing series, which opens in 2017.
