The 2023 Audi RS3's exterior takes on a more aggressive look than the older-gen models, thanks to some added vents, black exterior elements, and a set of mean-looking 19-inch wheels wrapped in performance summer tires. The 2023 RS3 also features dual oval exhaust tips, electrically-adjustable power-folding, heated exterior mirrors, and a high-gloss black front spoiler. Matrix-design LED headlights are standard, as is a panoramic roof. Audi offers the RS3 with an optional Black Optic Plus package which adds a set of matte black wheels, black Audi rings and badges, and a black roof. The Carbon Package is also a cool option and adds carbon mirror housings, a carbon rear spoiler, and side sill inlays. The exhaust setup can also be upgraded to a Sport Exhaust System with black tips for an even meaner look.
This subcompact executive sports sedan measures a total length of 178.8 inches, a total width of 78.1 inches including the side mirrors, and a height of 55.6 inches. The wider front track measures 62.7 inches, while the rear track comes in at 60 inches. The car rolls on a 103.6-inch wheelbase and weighs in at 3,649 pounds - quite a bit more than other models in the A3 range.

The cheeky RS3 can be had in eight different color options. The more subtle hues include Glacier White, Kemora Gray, Mythos Black, and Daytona Grey Pearl - all of which cost $595. You get Tango Red, Python Yellow, Turbo Blue, and the wild and wonderful Kyalami Green on the other end of the spectrum, with only the latter two being no-cost options. The $595 surcharge applies to the rest. Audi also offers new buyers an Audi exclusive special paint color option, which opens up the door to numerous different colors at the steep price of $5,900. Black exterior accents can be added on by means of the available exterior packages.
We think the Audi RS3 looks best in Kemora Gray for the true stealth bomber look, but it's hard to ignore the allure of the striking Kyalami Green.
Audi's exclusive paint color option will set you back $5,900, but it means you can have your RS3 in almost any color you want.
The 2023 RS3 comes with dual oval exhaust tips.
19-inch 5-Y-spoke wheels in a black finish with graphic print are standard, and the only other option is the same wheel in matte black finish.
