The RS3 already has the nicest interior of any Audi A3 model - that's part of the reason why you pay so much for it. But because it's a cult hyper hatch, some people want to have a unique version that wows the crowds.
Neidfaktor is one of our favorite companies when it comes to interior customization. They don't do muscle cars, pickup trucks or Korean imports. All their work takes time to complete and usually revolves around Porsche and Audi quattro. That's a sweet combination.
The Essen Motor Show is coming up later this month, and Neidfaktor stepped up to the plate with the RS3 hatchback, a car that's taken an underserved slice of criticism.
Still brutally fast, this 5-door needed an exotic touch in the interior department. The theme that was chosen by Neidfaktor kind of reminds us of the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, with its combination of Alcantara and neon yellow accents.
The dash has been pulled out the car and re-upholstered, now featuring yellow stitching, yellow air vents, black trim and pinstriping.
The steering wheel, meanwhile, has carbon fiber all over, another Neidfaktor trademark. The TDC spot has been marked out and LED shift lights have been added. Oh, and this could be the only RS3 in the world that has the exhaust, drive mode and starter button from the R8 supercar. That's an interesting touch!
So what else do we have? How about new door cards with Alcantara and lemon-colored leather everywhere. That's such overkill in a little hatchback like this that it deserves a medal. Some crazy seats are on their way, but for now, we can only give you a sneak peak.
Hardware changes appear to be minimal and include semigloss black tailpipes and lowering suspension from H&R. We wouldn't be surprised if they wrap the whole car in neon yellow, but we won't know until Essen starts. We're not saying there's a direct connection, but we added the gloss lemon RS3 wrap by Schwaben Folia at the end of this gallery. What do you think?
