Audi RS3 LMS

For 2021, Audi has introduced a new generation of RS3 LMS. Compared to its predecessor, it differs in top design, mechanical and technological upgrades.

The new RS3 LMS has a large radiator grille, a centrally placed exhaust pipe at the rear and a larger fixed rear wing. Audi says that “no other TCR touring car offers as many optional safety components”.

Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing, said: “Our new Audi RS 3 LMS thus takes on a great and responsible legacy. The focus of our development goals for our latest model was on the customers. Whether it’s about running times or setup options, safety or cockpit ergonomics: we want to offer the teams a car that’s even more of a race car than before, that has many practical advantages in everyday use and that can be operated economically thanks to long- running times. ”

The RS3 LMS is powered by 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 340 hp (250 kW) and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque (at 2,500 rpm). It reaches 62 mph in about 4.5 seconds. The engine is paired with a six-speed transmission through which power is transmitted to the front axle with a limited slip differential.

Driver safety is at a high level. There is a protective cage made of steel pipes, six-point seat belts, large racing seats, a fire protection system and more. Optionally it is possible to get safety nets right and left, and the McPherson suspension has also been significantly changed.
