Audi RS 3 Sportback

The Audi RS 3 Sportback is the high-performance version of the Audi A3.
== Description ==
The Audi RS 3 Sportback is the hot hatch version of the Audi A3 compact luxury hatchback. It had a limited production between 2011 and 2012 and was available exclusively in 5 door hatchback form. In fact, the Audi RS 3 Sportback is one of the few 5 door hot hatches in the Asphalt series, not just Asphalt 8: Airborne.
The RS 3's turbocharged 2.5L inline-five engine was sourced from the Audi TT RS Coupé, which was priced higher than the RS 3. Unlike the TT RS Coupé, no manual option was provided with a 7-speed S-tronic twin-clutch automatic transmission being standard across the board. A total of 750 units were produced.

The RS 3 Sportback can be considered a Tier 2 equivalent of the Shelby GT500 Eleanor, with strong top speed, good launch and acceleration, average nitro speed, above average nitro efficiency, and wide drifting radius. Both cars additionally has very easy unlock requirements. The performance appears to be tailored for beginners who want a step up from the BMW 1 Series M Coupe, the standard-issue starter car for Tier 2, with balanced performance, good nitro efficiency, along with a higher total speed tier. Those performance characteristics allow the RS 3 to hit its total speed relatively easily for a Tier 2 car, and also adept in maintaining it.
Regarding usage, as with the GT500 Eleanor, the RS 3 works best in Career Mode, as it unlocks early, has similar performance, and can hit superior total speeds over the 1M Coupe it rivals. It can serve the player well during and even after the Chevrolet Camaro GS, a faster Tier 2 car, is unlocked in Career Cup 7. However, it is not useful in other modes as its tier placement as a low-mid end Tier 2 car doesn't give favorable matchups, in that it is matched up with the likes of the Chevrolet Camaro GS or Dodge Charger SRT8, of which it cannot compete with.
