For those who don't know, the RS3 is already one of the fastest hot hatch in the world with 362bhp developed from its five-cylinder turbocharged 2.5-litre unit.

Torque produced now stands at 605Nm and the upgraded RS3 will now do the century sprint from a stop in 3.9 seconds, shaving 0.4 of a second off the stock car. 0-200km/h takes just 14.1 seconds.

Hmmm... a hatchback that does 300km/h? And guess what, the company is currently working on even faster versions of the RS3, saying that a 500hp package is already undergoing shakedown trials. Now that's pretty mad!

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
