The ignition sequence of the five cylinders pulsing at the front was irregular and always was.
1-2-4-5-3 He plays his unique sound.
He has been doing this since the 80's until today, without stopping.
Basically with a stop, because probably this top five cylinders, in front of the Audi RS3 is last in the chain.
The world is moving to electricity you know.
And who cares about this era, that it's the rescue and arson order that put Audi in the top three at the 1984 Monte Carlo Rally?
Not many people.

Given the perfect Audi RS3 driver's seat with a precise driving position, there is no time to dwell on these reflections.
The road in front of me is idle at one corner of the country.
He is as desolate as he is exciting.
Certainly when flying through such a machine.
We have 2.5 liter turbocharged superchargers here that produce 400 hp and 50.8 kg.
An arrangement that is enough to launch it from standstill to 100 km / h in 3.8 seconds on the way to 290 km / h is closer than ever.
But speed in a straight line is definitely not the story here.
The most exciting news concerns the Quattro propulsion.
Depending on the driving mode chosen, this hot compact delivers, for the first time at Audi in this segment, up to one hundred percent of the torque to the rear axle.
The new rear differential contributes to the turning ability also managing the torque delivered to the outer and inner wheel.
You can also mention the wider tires at the front to understand that Audi is tired of being the one to be pointed at and whispering "understeer".
The result is as clear as the cold sweat that washes the driver's face on the same road mentioned.
At a speed that silence is good for them, a fairly tight right approaches.
The Audi RS3 responds with a measured tightening of the buttocks under the braking that lasts until the peak of the turn, and here it is also possible to return very quickly and very strongly to the right pedal.
There is no widening of a line from the front wheels, on the contrary, the rear wheels tighten, as if guessing the line to the exit - strong stock on the way to devour the next line.
The name of the engine reappears, pushes hard and exciting up to 7,000 rpm and returns, God forbid.
But RS3 is not just waiting for these secret corners to reveal its secrets to its user.
Already on the paddle growls and wakes up to a meaningless idle.
For a moment you can decide to hear the hoarse sound of this engine in all its glory and feel this push worthy of a car bearing these battle decorations.
And of course this car also knows how to play it hidden to the tools and perform more earthly tasks in an efficient and exemplary manner.
Well packaged, full of armor and safety, even moderately comfortable.
A long drive or a short urban arrangement are a trivial matter.
And all of course, with the same feeling of security and quality.
No noises, just fine mechanics work, well-crafted electronics and a borderline psychotic ability hidden under a cloak of usefulness.
The latest version of the RS3 is the best of all the dynasty.
A car that understands the mind of the driver.
A shell very worthy of Audi's iconic engine configuration.
