About the 2017 Audi RS 3 Sportback in Forza Horizon
Hot hatch culture rewards a specific cocktail: front-drive grip, a willing engine, and a chassis that turns into corners flatter than its grocery-runner sibling. 2017 Audi RS 3 Sportback embodies that recipe. In Forza Horizon, hot hatches dominate the B and A brackets, where light weight and torque availability matter more than peak horsepower.
2010s saw turbocharging, hybridization, and active aero arrive at every tier. Audi adopted these on the RS 3 Sportback platform with results visible in lap times.
