First‑Generation Launch
The RS3 made its grand entrance in 2011, establishing the 8P as the inaugural generation of Audi's compact performance RS3 series. It was positioned as a high‑performance variant of the standard A3 model.
Limited Production Run
Built between March 2011 and December 2012, the 8P RS3 saw only a few thousand units produced, as precise figures have not been published. This relatively low volume adds a degree of exclusivity to the model.
Foundation for Future Generations
The 8P chassis set the template for later RS3 generations (8V, 8Y, etc.), establishing the performance and design language that subsequent models would evolve from.
