Here’s a few pictures of the new Audi S3 in all its glory.
Audi’s top-of-the-range version of the A3 boasts 265 bhp and quattro permanent four-wheel drive.
The sprint to 62 mph is accomplished in 5.7 seconds while top speed is governed by the mean Germans to 155 mph. Aggressively hard-hitting, free-revving and with a sonorous acoustic profile, the powerful two-litre, turbocharged four-cylinder unit with FSI petrol direct injection proves to be a smooth, high-performance engine.
This power is transmitted by the six-speed gearbox and quattro permanent four-wheel drive to large alloy wheels with an 18-inch diameter. The new S sports suspension system on the S3 enables an extremely drops the car 25 mm closer to the autobahn.
The single-frame grille sports chrome trim, the front skirt has a spoiler with large air-intakes and the side sills have been restyled. There is a contrasting platinum grey diffuser built into the rear skirt, along with two S-style oval chrome tailpipes. Aluminium-look door mirrors and a body-colour roof spoiler give added impact to the visual statement.
They could have heated it up a bit more.

I agree about a possible RS3. There is talk of a turbocharged 3.2 v6 RS3 producing 350 bhp. Might be quite nippy.

i ordered a white a3 s-line before i left audi…not as a leaving present, but as a nice car for stock, it is coming back! we had a white cab in the showroom, looked lovely!
anyway…yeah…white! grrrrrr!!
yeah, looks “ok”, but still agree, needed more power…surely this means an rs3 is on its way?
