Gameloft has announced a partnership with the folks at Audi to launch an iOS racing game called Asphalt Audi RS 3. Those who download and play the free app have the chance to win a high-end Audi A3 Sportback, the French game development studio said.

A demo with exclusive content featuring the unreleased new car, Asphalt Audi RS 3 has players driving on two tracks (Tokyo and the Bahamas) from Asphalt 6: Adrenaline - another Gameloft title available in Apple’s iTunes App Store.

According to its makers, Asphalt Audi RS 3 offers a short career mode with three events, two normal races and an elimination round.

Between March 3rd and March 16th, players will be able to enroll in a competition to race three laps on the Bahamas track.

Those who score high will have their names posted on Gameloft Live. From there, one will be selected to win an Audi A3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI quattro, Gameloft said.

Only some countries are qualified for the contest, according to the developer’s announcement.

Those are The United States, Canada (excluding Quebec), United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Russian Federation, Spain, Austria, Mexico, Belgium, Netherlands, China and South Korea.

Gameloft took this opportunity to announce an update to its Asphalt 6: Adrenaline game with real time reflections on cars and more precise controls. Version 1.1.6 of the 5 dollar app can be found here.

"What better way to celebrate our partnership with Gameloft then to premiere the Audi RS 3 in one of the most iconic racing video game franchises on the market," said Lothar Korn, head of marketing communications, AUDI AG.

"From the detailed graphics to the high performance, the Audi RS 3 is perfectly represented in the demo version of Asphalt 6: Adrenaline."
