If the latest rumours are to be referred to, the RS3 that is based on the latest generation A3 is not coming at all. This is because of the dieselgate scandal that has forced Audi to rethink their market strategy. The rumours are claiming that Audi will keep on launching their flagship cars and skip the performance trim to fund research for energy saving models.
If the rumours are right, then there won’t be a new RS3 coming out in the near future. Then again, there is still a chance for the RS3 to make a last minute appearance, just like how it is with the Ford Focus RS.
