At first, the new Audi S3 appears a little old-fashioned if you're in the know about what lies under its sheep's clothes. It seems to become an everyday family fivedoor hatch but the wider wheels, lower-profile and subtle aerodynamic additions suggest in the wolf supporting the disguise.

In Addition, a leatherwrapped, multifunction flatbottom steering-wheel enhances the S3 driving enjoyment.

Speaking about driving enjoyment; on the highway the S3 is something different. Functionality is super strong through the entire engine revs. The vehicle is 70 kg lighter compared to the outgoing Audi S3, along with the blend of balance and clasp is amazing. Functionality from the 2.0 TFSI engine can deliver this hothatch from 0-100 km/h in across the five-second mark. Enable the automobile to run on, plus a small top speed of more than 240 km/h is exactly what this small speedster is really capable of. Remarkably, Audi have managed to maintain the fresh S3's gas consumption to typical below 7 litres/100 km. It's accurate then; you may have thrilling performance but still get great market within the one bundle.

Torque for the powerful S3 2.0litre Turbo is really in Porsche-911 Carrera territory (380 Nm), while energy is about the 220 kW mark. You'll discover it is, actually, as fast as the current Porsche-911 Carrera design. The S - tronic Audi S3, normally, costs a bit more compared to the alternative.

Audi have set a great deal of new technologies into the S3, and a few of the very intriguing bits used in the allnew performance motor. The 2.0 TFSI motor pioneers some new technologies. You'll also discover the new Audi S3 powerplant includes a cylinder head which is created from the fresh lightweight aluminiumsilicon alloy providing high durability and exceptional temperature resistance within this state-of-theart fourcylinder engine.

Hanging out within the new Audi S3 is a delight; not only may be the auto thrilling to drive however the inside is quite comfortable and fashionable. Take a minute to take within the scene, and also you'll understand the instrument panel seems to float around the center console. Read the finish around the beautiful leather seats.

Something about any Audi vehicle is the fact that the quality of workmanship is constantly going to be second to none. Baggage carrying capability is really a good 365 litres, which may be improved to 1100 litres if the back seats are folded down to floor-level. Obviously, there's way more attributes onboard the automobile, but I reckon that's sufficient to catch one to delve in the Audi S3 world on your own.

I could understand the feeling of possessing an enjoyable car such as this. Top notch management and operation, exceptional construction and complete, and as always the comfort and ride is first-class.
