In the glamorous surroundings of the Paris Motor Show,
Audi presented its RS 3 LMS sedan, which will bring the
brand’s legendary four rings into TCR and will make Audi
Sport racing cars available to an even broader audience.
Audi Sport Customer Racing, which builds and markets
Audi R and RS models for competition, plans to start
deliveries of the new car to customers this December
ahead of the 2017 season. No fewer than 70 units will
be produced in the initial run.
Stephan Winkelmann, Audi Sport Managing Director
commented: “Audi has been active in motorsport at the
highest level for generations. The Audi R8 LMS has since
become the market leader in its segment. We have the
same plans for the Audi RS 3 LMS, which offers
customers an attractive opportunity to get started in
Audi racing.”
