Watch The New Audi RS3 Sedan Fly To 176mph Or 284km/h

Unless you've taken the new Audi RS3 sedan out for a test drive, or even better, purchased one, one can only imagine how a 400PS (394hp) compact saloon performs on the road.

Happily, the internet is filled with all kinds of videos that demonstrate the sheer power of the new Audi RS3 Sedan, including the one below from AutomannTV, which shows the car going from 0 to 284km/h (176mph) using launch control.

But where would you possibly achieve this top speed on a public road? Well, Germany's Autobahn is one of the few places on the planet that allows enthusiasts to legally reach the top speed in their cars.

Before checking out the video, we'll remind you that it has 400PS (394hp) and 480Nm (354lb-ft) of torque, coming from an improved version of the 2.5-liter TFSI engine, which makes it 33PS (33hp) 15Nm (11lb-ft) more powerful than the pre-facelifted hatch.
