The Audi RS 3 Sedan broke the record for the fastest compact production car at the Nürburgring lap, with driver Frank Stippler recording a time of 7:40.748. This is an impressive 4.64 seconds faster than the previous record-holder, the Renault Megane RS Trophy-R (7:45.38) although the latter is front-wheel-drive and less powerful.
The Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S which is a direct rival to the Audi RS 3 sedan hasn’t recorded an official time yet but the A 45 S was slower in an unofficial hot lap.
As a reminder, the five-cylinder turbocharged 2.5-liter engine produces 394 hp (294 kW / 400 PS) and 500 Nm (368 lb-ft) of torque in European specification, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch S-tronic transmission sending power to all four wheels. Thanks to all that, it can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in a class-leading 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of up to 290 km/h (180 mph).
