Currently reading: Is Audi's new RS3 Competition Limited worth £80k more than a Mk1?

They may be separated by 15 years, but these two hot hatches share the same magic under the bonnet

Some have called the new Audi RS3 Competition Limited a £100,000 hot hatch. That's not quite fair: it’s only £93,000. Meanwhile, a leggy Mk1 RS3 can be scooped up from the classifieds for around £11,000 to £13,000.

But the fundamental point remains. There is an £80,000 gulf here, despite both cars offering essentially the same recipe: five-cylinder thrills stuffed into a posh German hatchback.
