As per title, checked it this morning and the A3 Sportback is not showing, Cabriolet S3 Sportback, S3 saloon and RS only.
Must be due to a couple of changes to MY19.
 
The websites a mess. It’s still showing the 310ps unit in the S3, which can’t be ordered as it’s now 300ps. There’s a disclaimer which pops up stating there will be changes due to MY19.(emissions and possible spec)

This is what happened to me, my car went from 115ps to....wait for it....116ps!!

It's showing the A3 again but the engine PS is only showing 150 for petrol and 116 for diesel :wtf:.

Audi Sound standard on the s-line so basically the BE gets black bits, privacy and wheels. About £975 more than the S-line when spec'd for spec.
Sounds like a bit of a rip off for some black bits :blink:

The same for the saloon , those are the only engines they can get to pass the new emissions tests

I've noticed the configuration now includes the numbers on the tailgate which confirms your BHP region. That will be coming off quick style!

Audi have stated the badge number change 25/30/35 and so on is due to the introduction of the e-tron models and simplify power outputs.
The new number system will make it easier for customers the ability to compare power outputs regardless of derivative ie diesel/petrol/electric. (So it will easier for light finger toe rags to identify and lift your powerful motor).
So the new e-tron SUV will be badged as a 50, same power output as the petrol/diesel/hybrid albeit an all electric motor. Hope that makes sense.
EDIT: This has been stated in another thread,,,DOH !:haudrauf:
