World premiere of the new Audi RS 3 LMS in Paris

Presented as part of the Audi press conference at the Paris Motor Show on Thursday was the new Audi RS 3 LMS with which Audi Sport is extending its involvement in customer racing. The TRC race car was unveiled simultaneously with the Audi RS 3 sedan making its world debut. “Our motto is: from the race track to the road,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Managing Director at Audi Sport. “These two new models are perfect proof of it.” On the subsequent days, at the finale of the ADAC TCR Germany at the Hockenheimring, the new entry-level model for customer racing was an eye-catcher sparking the curiosity of many teams and visitors. The first teams have already expressed an interest in purchasing the car.

The indicated consumption and emissions values were determined according to the legally specified measuring methods. The WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC on January 1, 2022, which means that no NEDC figures are available for vehicles with new type approvals from after this date.

The figures do not refer to a single, specific vehicle and are not part of the offering but are instead provided solely to allow comparisons of the different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (add-on parts, different tire formats, etc.) may change relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO₂ emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

Due to the more realistic test conditions, the consumption and CO₂ emission values measured are in many cases higher than the values measured according to the NEDC. This may result in corresponding changes in vehicle taxation since September 1, 2018. Additional information about the differences between WLTP and NEDC is available at www.audi.de/wltp

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO₂ emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO₂ emissions and power consumption of all new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern, Germany (www.dat.de).
