Oh, come on. Go, go. Do you remember the BMW 1A? The 2011 1A? Yeah. The car that we dubbed as a moment in time car.

Yes, for sure. I think that's what the RS3 is. Okay, all right. We're in the 2022 RS3, Audi's very special 5-cylinder engine.

Yes. In the US, you can't buy 5 cylinders anymore. Just think of it as half of a V10, because it kind of makes those sounds.

Yeah, any odd number or unexpected number of cylinders, always sounds really cool.

as is the RS3. Those have the same 5-cylinder engine, but this is a unique little beast.

It is. So unique that it's in such high demand, if you want one, from this recording,

but you gained about 30 plus percent more horsepower and torque, which is huge.

And you gained this engine that has this interesting voice and personality.

That's the best part of the car. I love the power on this. You put your foot in it,

and it thinks for a minute, and then I don't think anybody near you will have the same kind of

rocket ship acceleration. It just takes off. It's very unexpected. It's so endearing.

Yeah, it is. I love the power in this car. But then when you start to get into the steering
