Next-gen Audi RS3 spied rolling along the North Loop

The latest bunch of spy photos shows the performance-packed Audi RS3 sedan showing off its racing chops on the famed Nürburgring Circuit in Germany.

The car looks slightly less camouflaged than before and boasts large-diameter rims clad in low-profile tires, with massive brake discs seen behind the spokes. The front bumper appears similar in style to the RS6 Avant and the latest RS4 Avant. Dual oval tailpipes crown the rear end.

It is speculated that the car draws its power from the same 400hp / 300kW turbocharged engine as the RS Q3.

The new RS3 should celebrate its premiere next year.
