We know that the Audi RS3 sedan is real and a leaked roadmap showed that it could be coming in 2017. Now Car and Driver has learned some details about the hot sedan. Speaking with a source, Car and Driver says the RS3 sedan will be powered by an all-new, turbocharged 2.5L five-cylinder with 400 horsepower. This engine will debut in the new TT RS at the Beijing auto show later this month. A new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission will route power to all four wheels. Depending on how the car is optioned, top speed will either be 155 or 174 mph. It is expected that Audi will show the RS3 sedan sometime later this year, with sales beginning in the U.S. in 2017.

This has not been a good week for Audi in terms of leaks. Earlier this week, we reported on a video that showed Audi introducing the RS3 sedan to employees. Now a product roadmap has come to light showing what's in store for next two years. Dutch site Autobahn.eu got their hands on a picture showing the timeline for Audi products in 2017 and 2018. Let's start with 2017. The roadmap shows the RS3 sedan, the Q7 e-tron (a plug-in hybrid that will either come with a gas or diesel engine), and the SQ7 (performance version much like the SQ5 that could offer a tweaked supercharged V6 or a V8). We also spy the A5 and S5 coming in 2017 - makes sense as the new A4 has been launched and the A5 is basically an A4 coupe. 2017 will also a second-generation of the TT RS. 2018 is where some big news comes in. This will be the year where Audi will introduce two new crossovers, an electric one and the Q8 (we believe to be a coupe-like crossover). There's a new RS5 and what most people have been going crazy about, a V6 version of the R8 supercar. Autoblog speculates this could be due to Chinese market taxing high displacement engines. Nevertheless, we'll be seeing if this leaked roadmap pans out in the future or not. Source: Autobahn.eu, Autoblog -

Last week, we brought you a report that Audi executives confirmed the existence of the RS3 sedan and said it would be going into production. We also learned some possible details about the new RS such as a new turbocharged five-cylinder engine capable of producing over 400 horsepower and a new front end. This week, a YouTube user called 'Ron Bolton' uploaded a video that was supposedly recorded at this meeting and shows the reveal of the RS3 sedan. The video also confirms some of the details in our previous report such as the turbocharged five-cylinder engine (producing up to 400 horsepower the person in the video says), larger brakes, and new suspension tuning. The video also reveals that there will be successors to the RS5 and TT RS, and the introduction of seven new RS models between now and 2019. The new models will include different body styles and an SUV. Source: Quattro World https://youtu.be/CYqkZbGXRlc -

Rumors have been flying around for a couple of years of Audi doing an RS3 sedan for North America. But there hasn't been any concrete evidence for it, just hints and speculation. Continuing this trend, Quattro World has learned from sources that the RS3 sedan is a go. Audi of America executives told employees at a recent summit that the RS3 sedan has been given the green light. Sources say the model will look slightly different from the current RS3 Sportback sold in Europe with new front end and headlights. A new turbocharged 2.5L five-cylinder with over 400 horsepower will be paired with a seven-speed S-Tronic gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive. The RS3 sedan is expected to arrive in late 2017 as a 2018 model year vehicle. We'll be keeping an eye out. Source: Quattro World -
