The new S3 is official...
- Thread starter dbm
- Start date
Any pics or other info?
Saw this on Audi UK's homepage, not sure if it's anything or not - too small to make out:

Isn't the S3 going to be Sportback only? So that photo cannot be it. Although it looks pretty good.
The spy pics we saw before were of the 3 door, not the sportback. http://www.worldcarfans.com/spyphotos.cfm/spyphotoid/6060126.002
I just hope the final version looks A LOT better than the pics on the link above.

"I couldn't imagine a sportsback S3... that's like having an S3 Avante!"
What, nothing like the original RS4 then?

I thought the original rumour from way back was that the S3 would be a 2.0FSi 3 door, and the RS3 (if only) would be a 3.2 Sportback.
you only have to look at the new S6 to see which way Audi will go with the S3, as normal I suspect it will be : 14ish mm wider wheel arch flares, different front/rear bumper, different wheels-19inch? slightly lower than an S line, 280bhp and more sporty seats, thats what they have ALWAYS done with "S" cars, what makes anyone think this one will be any different?

No they don't I have one they come standard with RS6 style wheels or for no cost you can change then to 14 spoke BBS wheels, the 20 spoke BBS split rims are still a £400 option.

Maybe so but you stated they were standard fitment on the Special Edition. I was only pointing out that they are not.
Yep, I'm told spy pics look exactly like the car a dealership friend of mine saw at a dealer pre-launch in Tenerife, with the Q7 etc.
As Ryan says S3 2.0FSi turbo.
Price, around the 26-27K mark. Maybe more, with options etc.

So do you rekon it will have a different Lader than the A3 FSI T or just upped boost???
the real question is, is it chippable to over and above what the A3 FSI T is? If its the same turbo etc then what a farce!

It can't be it'll have to be a new turbo and better cooling etc in my opinion as per the old one or it's just a pure marketing /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/swear.gif take!
what will happen to the 3.2, surely there isn't room for an S3 AND a 3.2?
as an ex S3 owner and current 3.2 owner I am completely let down by how audi have handled the whole thing - a 260 hp turbo after all this wait - wtf?!
On the upside i am seriously glad i didnt wait two years for the S3 and am quite happy with the 3.2 for now.

Well to look at the old TT there is room, the 1.8T 240BHP is the fastest with the 3.2V6 being more comfortable, I think it depends on what the changes are over the normal model.

Question is with the imminent 260ps s3 ,how will this fit in with the new tt and it's current top of the line 250ps 3.2?

I guess that was from Preston Audi Dan?
They've not sent me anything lately apart from service reminders /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif (and it's a giggle to think I need a reminder, I'll NEVER forget that last one!)
Regards,
Rob.

i thought the new s3 would be NA somehow like s4, s6, s8 , rs4 , rs6 are going, like suggested in earlier threads a 3.6 , bit of a let down i guess you need the 4 cyl for handling and could only push a v6 so far without turbo's, i'm with you guys i think its a marketing scam /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
do better audi , then make a serious rs3 get back in the game

I keep getting these magazines from Audi, the latest one has Anthony Worrell Thompson on the front (WFT??) theres a small artical about 3 new model ranges one of which is "a new Audi S3 - a three door model with a sporty engine - will be the first of the new models to hit showrooms, later this year.."
