Audi Bakersfield - RS Torque Splitter Confidence — 2026 Audi RS 3 Dynamic plus Package for Drives around Porterville, CA
There’s a special kind of composure that arrives when engineering and intent align. Configure the 2026 Audi RS 3 with the available Dynamic plus package, and you’ll feel it within a few corners—when the ceramic front brakes pick up speed management with resolve, when the chassis settles over uneven pavement, and when the RS torque splitter pours available power to the rear wheel that can use it most. It’s the decisive, track-honed character that turns a small indulgence into a routine you anticipate, whether your route skirts scenic stretches around Porterville, CA or flows through your daily commute.
Pairing the 2.5-liter, 5-cylinder turbocharged engine’s 394 HP with quattro® all-wheel drive is only the beginning. The magic appears in how quickly the platform responds to your inputs. Audi drive select brings RS performance and RS torque rear modes to the forefront, setting personality in moments. Adaptive suspension with damper control knits together the ride-height advantage and suspension geometry that prioritizes connection—confidence in attack, composure in retreat. The result is a car that grips, pivots, and communicates in equal measure. When you lift your gaze, Matrix-design LED headlights with customizable DRL signatures bring nighttime clarity, while a standard head-up display keeps shift timing and vital metrics where you naturally look. And when the day is less about lap times and more about soundtracks, the standard Sonos® Premium sound system with 3D sound steps confidently into the spotlight.
- Dynamic plus essentials: Ceramic front brakes with red calipers, ultra-high-performance summer tires, and a carbon engine cover sharpen capability and presence.
- Power delivery: The RS torque splitter actively vectors available torque between the rear wheels for rotation you can feel and control.
- Driver focus: Audi virtual cockpit plus with RS runway design highlights power and torque percentages at a glance.
- Everyday ease: Park assist plus and Top view camera simplify tight parking, while the wireless Audi smartphone interface keeps your apps close.
Beyond the headline upgrades, living with this RS 3 spec is refreshingly straightforward. The steering wheel—flat at the top and bottom—pairs with shift paddles and RS satellite buttons for quick adjustments to powertrain and chassis settings. Adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance supports longer stretches, and Audi pre sense® front adds a layer of confidence when traffic compresses. It’s that blend of unwavering purpose and quiet accommodation that makes this configuration such a smart pick for drivers who want connection on spirited mornings and calm on the return trip.
