How much horsepower can you cram into a family hatchback? The original Audi RS 3 launched in 2011 with a punchy 335bhp, only to be trumped by the current car four years later, when it upped the ante with a whopping 362bhp.

However, at the same time Mercedes’ engineers were busy readying a more powerful Merc-AMG A45, which launched in the same year with an absurd 376bhp. Not to be outdone, Audi has responded with this: a lighter, faster and more powerful RS 3 for 2017.
