Audi RS3

Often underestimated until it appears in your rearview mirror, snarling like a mini-lambo with its 2.5L, 5-cylinder, 401HP engine, the RS3 is a force to be reckoned with. As a track car, we cannot recommend it enough for a beginning driver who wants all the power in as safe a package as possible, which is delivered in a way that only Audi can deliver it. Some minor mods will correct whatever understeer issues exist, including a reverse staggered tire set-up that comes stock. The latest model has addressed the Audi understeer curse more directly by including a torque vectoring differential in the rear to loosen it up a bit and actually allow for drifts, in an Audi!
