The Audi RS 3 LMS TCR is a racing car built according to the TCR rule system.[1] It is based on the Audi RS 3 sedan. It has also undergone significant widening, as well as racing spoilers have been fitted to the car, as well as the appropriate roll-over tube inside the vehicle for the necessary safety. Its engine is a two-liter, four-cylinder, turbo engine. With 330 horsepower, it accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. It is somewhat similar in design to a modern DTM car, but the TCR series and the company's goal is customer-based racing with the model, i.e. series production with the models, so they were available at a favorable price compared to a racing car for 129,000 euros.[2] In addition to the model with sequential transmission, Audi also sells to customers a race car with a DSG transmission, which is mostly used in long-distance endurance races.
After the release of 4th generation of Audi A3; the model of RS 3 LMS TCR is also changed, and it firstly started to race in 2021 WTCR season.[3] Then, it also started to race in other TCR series.
The first and second generation RS 3 LMS TCR won the TCR Model of the Year award in 2017[4] and 2021 respectively.[5]
