Audi RS3 Avant Renderings Make Us Regret The A3 Lineup Doesn’t Include An Estate

The simple fact that Audi doesn’t have an A3 Avant in its lineup and has no plans to build one makes these renderings of an RS3 Avant pure fantasy.

But that’s what renderings are for, right? To stir the imagination, in this case to help us visualize what an Audi RS3 Avant would look like. After all, the first Audi RS model was the RS2 Avant and for many years the RS designation was only given to high-performance estates.

We can therefore see this RS3 Avant as a spiritual successor to the RS2 Avant, which was based on the Audi 80 Avant.

But we have to wake up to reality and admit that the only other Audi RS3 body style likely to happen is the sedan, which customers in the highly lucrative US market want badly. Don’t be sad, though: the next-generation Audi A4 is just around the corner and it will definitely spawn an RS4 Avant.
