The new MQB platform Audi RS3 sheds 55kg over the previous model, combined with a reworked version of Audi’s 2.5 L five cylinder engine – (the EA855 as it’s known internally) putting out 368ps it’s currently the most powerful hot hatch you can buy, and is a car the press are raving about. Reading phrase such as ‘Savage on road performance’ and ‘supercar baiting performance’ we were excited to get our hands on one…

…unfortunately back when we first drove the RS3 we were a little disappointed; yes, in terms of a standard car it’s pretty fast but it just didn’t excite us like we were expecting. That’s where Revo stage 1 comes into its own, the additional power and torque doesn’t just increase the already ‘savage performance’; it brings to car to life giving it that extra edge it was begging for. Not only does the Stage 1 car eat up the road in a way you wouldn’t expect, it’s just as comfortable popping to the shops and driving around town.
