This is the ultimate version of the current RS3 generation—and unfortunately, it may also mark the end of an era. Once this car is gone, Audi’s iconic five-cylinder in its current form could disappear with it; stricter emissions regulations and the rapid shift toward electrification mean the days of the 2.5-liter TFSI are likely numbered.

Before the curtain falls, though, Audi is giving the engine one final send-off. Audi will build just 750 units of the RS3 Competition Limited worldwide: 585 Sportbacks and 165 sedans. Germany will receive 187 of those cars, including 158 Sportbacks. Sadly, the Sportback almost certainly won't make it to the US.
