Love how Hamza's flooring it, but the transit behind is keeping up.

[@ahyaan2552]

Dot think he fully floored it

[@TRHamza]

Transit > RS3

[@Zorororonoav1]

No matter how fast you’re going down the motorway, there will always be a transit that will come flying past

[@James__bond007]

Saw this comment before watching the video and I couldn’t stop looking at the van

[@ARDEN440i]

It's well known that Transits and DPD vans are the FASTEST vehicles on planet Earth. Do 250 mph on the autobahn and I can promise you a DPD van will be up your arse.

[@yantso1144]

From the smile on Hamza's face I can see that he is enjoying the 8y. Thank you.

[@alexedward01]

After having owned a few high end cars including C63s amg, and test driven many, RS3 2022, ticks most boxes. Beautiful car at a good price. For the People commenting about buying a BMW M3 instead at this price point... Base BMW M3 xdrive is 78, 500 and the base AUDI RS3 is around 55k. These 2 are different cars and can't be compared!

[@StevoPvP]

Man said at a good price yano

[@luciussander8217]

@Adam7890 A45s - just as good as the new RS3 with better interior. But, I prefer the looks and tech in the RS3 ... I have one on order to replace my A45s.

[@marveysingh9592]

M3 worth the money due to the amount of car. RS3 just an overpriced A3 saloon with a bigger engine

[@marveysingh9592]

@Adam7890 * shuncle

[@alexedward01]

@@marveysingh9592with your logic "M3 an overpriced 3 series" with bigger engine and better driving dynamics.

[@leowang8008]

Awesome update, man! So awesome to hear the thoughts from someone who knows the outgoing RS cars to compare with the newer version one! Best of all, new mods for the new RS3!! Can't wait to see more videos on the moded 2022 RS3!! Please keep it up!!

[@dreamcrusher112]

The 265s on the front are a game changer. Older MQB track cars get as high as 265s and the turn in is immense, good to see Audi tackling understeer. Drove a Cupra 290 on 265 AR1s and it was mad

[@TRHamza]

Agreed, I definitely want to try them out on mine, along with a set of lightweight wheels.

[@drivenbyboost]

The 8Y next to the 8V definitely makes it appear outdated. The both look absolutely beautiful but Audi did an amazing job on this newer generation 💯

[@royalstevep68]

I prefer the 8v

[@hiltonhedley4138]

Still love previous gen RS3. Love the content and am looking forward to seeing the mods on your RS3.

It’s crazy that I was following you at less than 1000 subscribers and used to see you locally around great Barr ... to see how your channel has blown up is inspiring 🙏🏽

[@THEDOPEYDAISY]

I used to own a VOLVO 850 T5R in 2008 and I loved it. I’m eagerly awaiting what you gonna do with the 850 T5, if anything at all. Put us out our misery yay or nay.

[@KainSwiss]

I knew you was going to love this set up! But you also made the right decision waiting for mods to gain momentum for the 8Y

[@Birmingham_racing]

I Prefer the looks of the old one so I'm glad it drives better at least

[@robbobkirk]

Great video. Love the genuine enthusiasm that you show. That van looked like he was on the wrong side of the road at one point.

[@JamieS1874]

The carbon engine cover is so sick. So gutted you cant get one for the PFL. Would look great with my eventuri intake

[@ajhd95]

Love it, still waiting on the GTi tuning video!

[@DisInfoWars]

Respect to the White Van Man for keeping pace 👍

[@Zed_Zone]

So what I have learnt is if you cannot get hold of the new RS3 then a transit van will be just as quick 😉

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

White Van Man is always close by, country lane, or motorway he is always there :-)

[@luciussander8217]

I had a white van man 'trying' to keep up with my A45s last winter... I lost sight of it quite quickly... a little time later, I was on my way back down the same road, there it was, in a field😂driver was standing by it on his mobile, didn't look happy when he saw me 😁

[@nas.a95]

It's so stupid of them not to add the alcantara on the steering wheel. That was one of the little things that seperated itself from the standard A3 & S3 🤦‍♂️

[@TRHamza]

From an interior perspective Audi RS have progressively been getting lazier over the years. Back in 2006 we had Recaros buckets and a Lamborghini steering wheel in the B7 RS4. Now the interiors practically look the same as an S model just with an ‘RS’ badge stuck on the trim pieces. Oh well atleast they’re working on the engine and chassis!

[@gianlucatuzi1498]

Their is something called an rs design package that really transforms the interior of the rs3 mostly german spec which comes with alcantara steering wheel red stitching at 12 o clock position seats come with red intern stitching really looks good over the basic interior. colour stitched seat belts and coloured air vents

[@BLX187]

Saving all that for the facelift

[@ColinDyckes]

I loathe alcantara and much prefer nappa leather as on my S3. Sadly I'd want the 'red design pack' to match my existing car and I don't think I can get a non-alcantara spec full spec car 😢

[@moza7826]

You can spec it to have alcantara in the rest of Europe but audi UK decided that we cant spec it

[@davesingh3772]

I think think the previous gen looks nicer and tbh for 70k it’s crazy money for a rs3 Not convinced on the interior either. You could buy a year old m3 for probably the same money. Controversial grill aside on the m3 it is a lot more for your money.

[@capsikseason]

70k for a hatchback no thanks would rather get a g80 m3 at this point

[@evildiesel7850]

@Adam7890 Got a 2018 RS3 saloon - not interested at all in this one. No music from the back end - mine still makes me smile to this day.

[@i.s.3458]

Yeah rather get a nice E63S for that kinda money. Sounds better, looks better, way faster etc. RS3' are heavily overpriced. Pathetic tbh.

[@capsikseason]

@@i.s.3458 e63s are bit pricey about 90k but it's a v8 and the rs3 is a 5 cylinder for 70k it's a rip off should be selling for 40k max

[@hulkrs3738]

They are not £70k lmao - they are £60k for a top end Vorsprung with just about everything ticked other than ceramics which is same league as A45s money.

[@williamnock8500]

Wow what a beautiful motor 🙏🏻

[@kaybe3044]

11:23 That was pretty fun. I can feel it through the screen.

[@e46m54nissansr20937]

Man it aged the outgoing RS3 design immediately but the old one still looks modern

''Slightly'' behind on your content TR Hamza. However, great video as always! Amazing the difference between the looks of the old model and new. The new RS3 makes the previous gen look so dated! Keep up the great content! 👍

Love seeing the verfified, love seeing the channel grow

[@andrewsuliteanu773]

great content. what did you mean when you said you couldn't tune the 8Y?

[@X19scavenger91X]

I wonder if the lower diffuser with the built-in exhaust tips would be transferable to the 8V platform

[@tdoteva4973]

VW should of really put that engine in the mk8 golf r that would of been epic owel guess that where conversion come in😁

[@The_journeyy]

Look at that thing looks like a spaceship 😍

[@MoeZainal]

How does it sound from the inside? Are they over amplifying the exhaust system sound via speakers?

[@olliejackson762]

Your genuine laugh at acceleration makes this video.

[@ad_2211]

In Australia seems like they are offering the alcantara flat bottom steering with the RS design package.

[@dionfountas3128]

Where did you get this info? Apparently there is no flat bottom steering wheel coming to Australia with the new RS3’s

[@alexedward01]

We don't get flat bottom on 2022 RS3 in Australia! Alcantara with RS Design Pack YES.

[@Singh-qy4ps]

“HEH HEH” That’s how you know the car is good.

[@ekpf]

That red M5 at the beginning of the vid though 😍😍

[@RobHTech]

transversely mounted, so I suppose it does not use a Torsen system?

[@DxCBuG]

Men i always think i does not really make sense to buy another high performance ICE car. But when i look at peak ICE like the current RS3 i get really tempted :P

Smile on your face is priceless 😆 with that intake it will have more then 425 +- s stock its 417 i believe should dyno it with the eventuri

[@cpandsooz]

Enjoyed that tanks. For all the money comments and £60k £70k!! These start from about £4K £440 month. That’s 2015 M2 money when I had that. Gotta seek out a decent lease. Cracking car and overall package in Sportback form for me.

[@davidcupra4913]

New one is miles ahead in handling. It’s what the rs3 needed.

[@MikelDog]

Personally id wait until they bring out the exclusive interiors for the rs3 to the UK. They just seem too close to an a3

[@andylau4079]

so theres no such thing is "engine break in" then ? only hundred odd miles on the clock, high rev? launch control? race mode? should you not go easy with it before it reaches 1000 miles? sorry so many questions.... 😄

[@donaldbruce4564]

How in the right mind puts budget Rotalla tyres on a brand new rs3?

[@25barkey]

They've add 10 /15mm along the chassis, or wider at wheels or seen it on another channel,makes it more comfortable to drive,less over/under steer, 👍🤞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Get your car to ecotune they'll make your car 8 sec on 1/4 mile,

[@cornedenecker1636]

Hey Hamza, I heard something about Audi locking the ecu so you can't tune it. Is that bs? Or can you still tune it

[@cornedenecker1636]

Ah I heard at the end there. Hopefully it's open

[@TRHamza]

Hey - Locked for now unfortunately, will be tuneable at some point I’m sure though. Just takes time

[@leevonchinnock994]

I had seen a video where they claimed a 2022 was already stage 1 tuned

[@tilidie5272]

not a fan of most of the new model cars to be honest, im going for an m140i because of you always been an audi fanboy but bmw slowly growing on me because of yours haha

[@DjNikGnashers]

Great choice ! Had mine a couple of years and love it. Very easy to tune (mines 455bhp/634nm), and the most fun you can have for the money. Yes you will struggle for traction, yes you will be sideways at every roundabout if you have a heavy right foot, but man it's such great fun. Much better than racing every other AWD hot hatch/suv from one set of traffic lights to the next !!

[@tilidie5272]

@@DjNikGnashers ive never had a sporty car or anything so the sideways part is what im abit worried about fastest thing ive driven is my a3 quattro 184bhp well 220 now. ive already made a shopping list of all mods im gonna be doing to it haha

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@tilidie5272 It's like anything my friend, it's all just practice and getting used to a new car. The A3 is a good car, but anything AWD will feel planted, safe, and ... well just a bit dull and boring, compared to a RWD car. The M140i has a very good traction control system, and if you drive it at 7/10ths it will feel just as grippy and safe as anything else. It's when you turn the traction control fully off, and push it to 9/10th that you start to understand why a RWD car is such good fun, because you control it not only with the steering wheel, but also the throttle pedal too. Unless you can afford a Porsche, or even a real M car (M2C would be my choice if I had the money), then the M140i is really the best option for a modern, sensible, practical, yet fast and (when you push it hard) wild beast. Yes there are older RWD cars which you can tune which will give you the same feeling, but you will be forever fixing them, and they won't feel as modern. I won't be getting rid of mine anytime soon, it's the perfect car imo.

[@ARDEN440i]

M140i doesn't come with an LSD from factory so stepping out on the twisties won't be much of an issue, just putting the power down you'll struggle with the one wheel burnouts. But as Nik said, great choice. No hot hatch comes close imo.

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@ARDEN440i Yes good comment. Fitting a Limited Slip Diff is probably the best mod you can do to the M140i, Quaife, Wavetrac, BMW M diff, or others. It will still slide around when pushed, but it will be much more predictable, and you can also do massive drifts ! Who wouldn't want to do that :-))

[@slats1987]

Got myself a carbon saloon on order, watched you since early days and I trust your opinion, seeing this says I made the right decision, keep up the good work mate🥳
