Discover The World Of RS, I Did

Discover The World Of RS, I Did

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2016-04-22
There was a brackling roar from the exhausts as I pressed the ignition button, a shiver went through my nervous system and the Audi RS3 I had just started settled into a throaty purr that begged for pressure on the accelerator.

Driving the Audi RS3 was thrilling for want of a better word. It climbed the revs as freely in first gear as it did in second or even sometimes third. With the RS badge comes a whole world of difference, in the RS3 you get 270 kW of highly enthusiastic power 465 Newton meters of muscular torque. I t was almost like flying. The standstill to a hundred kilometres per hour is upon you in just 4.3 seconds. Lightening fast.

The custodians of RS in Audi Durban are Novi Naidoo and Jacques Schutte, and they now have seven RS models available on the market, built by quattro GmbH, Audi's high-performance division.

The RS3 is empowered by the legendary 5 cylinder Audi engine that has won International Engine of the Year award in its category, for six years in a row. Even though it is electronically governed at two hundred and fifty kilometres per hour, Novi and Jacques can assist you with getting it moved up to two hundred and eighty, but you will have to go down to Dezzi's to drive at that speed.

I had mixed feelings when I had to give the Audi back, very sad that I had to let her go and very glad that I had avoided the traffic authorities for the time I had with her.

Contact Novi and Jacques for a test drive in this phenomenal sporty Audi RS3, call them on 031 - 314 5000 or visit their World-Class showroom at 200 Stalwart Simelane Street in Durban. You will be altered forever.
