Audi RS3 8V DAZA Sportback Nardo Grey - TTU Stage 2: 520PS | Walkaround Video

The Audi RS3 DAZA engine has achieved near-mythical status among RS enthusiasts — and for good reason. As Audi RS specialists and proud members of the Audi RS Owners Club, having supplied over 700 RS cars since 2015, we know what makes the RS3 truly special. This DAZA-powered RS3 8V stands apart as a raw, visceral machine that channels the pure, aggressive spirit of Audi’s rally heritage before GPF filters muted the exhaust roar.

Under the bonnet is Audi’s legendary 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder turbocharged DAZA engine, a direct descendant of the iconic Group B Quattro’s 5-pot. Known for its unique warble and broad torque band with almost no turbo lag, the DAZA delivers an addictive driving experience that newer models can’t match. Why? It’s pre-GPF, meaning it’s free from the sound-dampening petrol particulate filters introduced in 2019. Paired with the RS Sports Exhaust, this RS3 sings with authentic RS character.

Built tough with forged internals and a cast-iron block, the DAZA engine is highly respected for its strength and reliability, making it a favourite for tuning—from Stage 1 upgrades to hybrid turbo builds. Matched with Audi’s S-tronic gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive, the car excels on B-roads, the autobahn, and the track alike.

This particular RS3 is a rare gem — with just 33,990 verified miles, zero launches recorded on the launch counter, and a flawless ownership history exclusively within our Automotive Addiction network. Serviced by Audi specialists following strict manufacturer guidelines, it comes complete with two keys and total peace of mind.

Factory options worth £9,200 enhance this RS3’s appeal, including the RS Interior Design Package with Alcantara and red contrast stitching, Driver Assistance Pack, Audi Magnetic Ride Control with three suspension modes, RS Sports Exhaust, and a premium Comfort & Sound Pack featuring Bang & Olufsen audio.

On top of that, it boasts over £11,600 in tasteful modifications: a TTU Stage 2 ECU & TCU tune pushing 520PS, Revo Carbon Series Intake, Milltek V2 Downpipe, Forge Motorsport Intercooler, KW HAS suspension, OZ Leggera wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, and Xpel Self-Healing PPF for flawless paint protection. Inside, a retrimmed Alcantara steering wheel with functional RS buttons completes the race-inspired package.

Before sale, it received our signature £1,200 preparation, including expert detailing to ensure showroom freshness from every angle.

If you’re hunting for a DAZA RS3—whether as a collector’s piece, a thrilling daily driver, or a future investment—this is your chance.
