Remarkable energy and groundbreaking efficiency: The methodical lightweight building and chassis underscore the dynamic nature of the version.

Its peak production of 221 kW (300 hp) is available between 6 and 5, 500, 200 rpm.

The 2.0 TFSI is an amazing activity motor and its resonant sound creates a rigorous experience. If the standard Audi drive select dynamics system is in dynamic manner, it responds much more immediately to accelerator commands, with short doubleclutching underscoring the reversal of equipment from the optional S tronic. The flaps within the exhaust system open at rpm and higher load. Two balance shafts ensure enormous smoothness.

The upgraded turbocharger further raises output; it develops up to 1.2 bar of cost stress and may defy exhaust temperatures of up to 1000 degrees Celsius. The electronically-controlled wastegate valve functions exactly and very promptly. At part-load, it lessens the back pressure and hence the exhaust pressure leading to decreased chargecycles.

The four-cylinders are consistently well-filled with the ideal combination of air and gas. "Swumble" flaps (swirl and tumble) cause a targeted charge movement within the inflowing air - that is the basis for an ideal mixture preparation.

Additional technical characteristics from Audi's modular efficiency system lead to the reduced fuel consumption of the 2.0 TFSI. An example is the extra indirect injection for a supplement to FSI direct-injection. Under component load, this minimises particulate emissions and fuel consumption. FSI fuel-injection is necessary when starting and at higher load.

Rotary valves are used two by the innovative thermal management system joined within a module to modulate temperature and coolant flow. These valves guarantee the motor oil heats up-to its optimum working temperature when possible. The exhaust manifold is incorporated into the cylinder-head, a remedy that accelerates engine warmup following a cold-start and lowers the exhaust temperature.

Lightning-quick: The S tronic

A sixspeed manual-transmission and also the sixspeed S tronic are accessible. The gears of both transmissions are closely spaced for sporty performance. The ratio of the top-gear lowers fuel consumption rpm and consequently. The driver can control the lightning - quick and almost imperceptibly smooth - changing S tronic in both the D and S automatic modes or manually using the paddles on the steering-wheel.

For standing starts, Launch-control (just with S tronic) produces the engine's power to the route with described tire slip. Another attribute of the transmission is the fuel - economy coasting mode. It's activated when Audi drive select is set to effectiveness and also the driver takes their foot from the accelerator.

In regards to dynamics, grip and equilibrium the conventional quattro permanent allwheel drive gives the critical additional to the Audi S3 Sedan. Its centerpiece is a hydraulically actuated, electronically-controlled and newly developed multiplate clutch; so as to disperse weight more economically, it's put facing the differential. The compact and fairly light-weight clutch distributes the electricity. Most of it is transmitted to the front wheels. Torsion is redirected steplessly to the rear wheels, if grip decreases there.

Extremely enhanced: The chassis

The chassis harmonizes exceptionally well with the strong motor.

A crucial variable is the well-balanced axle load distribution of 59 percent to 41 percent between the front and rear axles. The 12degree rearward inclination of the motor along with the front axle found far to the front lead to this. Both options are part of the Modular Transverse Matrix. The pivot and sub-frame bearings of the front suspension are made from aluminium. The rear-axle is really a layout.

Its steering rack was created so the steering ratio becomes progressively immediate when turning. The end result is reduced steering effort when and when parking in town traffic. Directing is exceptionally accurate during quick, sporty driving. Steering boost varies as a function of velocity to make certain exceptional steering features for each scenario.

The steering works closely together with numerous aid systems on-board the new S3 Sedan, like the discretionary Audi busy lane and also the normal remainder recommendation assist and park assist systems.

Flow forming technology makes them extremely light-weight. The material is strengthened by this process, hence allowing thinner wall thicknesses. 18inch wheels in a myriad of designs are offered as alternatives. 19inch wheels are also available in conjunction with the discretionary Audi magnetic ride damper control system. 225/40 R18 tires are conventional.

The most recent development of the ESC electronic stabilization control program intercedes just as sportily as sensitively.

The driver can change between the automobile, relaxation, dynamic, efficacy and individual in the push of the button. The individual style enables the driver to define their own account of favorite configurations.

The optional audi magnetic ride damper control system is also influenced by audi drive select. Circulating within the shock-absorber pistons is really a synthetic hydrocarbon oil including miniature magnetic particles.

The machine's control always assesses the driver's fashion and also the state of the route and adjusts the damping forces within milliseconds. The driver can select between three modes. In car mode, the dynamic fourdoor design is quite balanced; in relaxation mode, comparatively soft. In dynamic manner, but, it assumes a position on your way. The support of the wheels offers more accurate steering response and more neutral selfsteering behaviour.

Aluminium and ultra highstrength steel: The human body

The excellent dynamics of the Audi S3 Sedan may also be attributable to the light-weight construction, one of Audi's great strengths. Equipped with the manual-transmission, the fourdoor version has a curb weight (without driver) of merely 1,430 kilograms (3,152.61 pound). Ultra highstrength steels are utilized in several regions of the occupant cell; the engine hood is constructed from aluminum.

Its dynamic nature is also expressed by the Audi S3 Sedan visually, with a appearance plus the athletic design. The just drawn lines, the flat motor hood, the tautly curved surfaces and also the flat roof arch stretch your body visually. The long-wheelbase of 2,631 millimeters (8.63 feet) offers up a generously broad inside.

Particular details underscore the nature of the Audi S3 Sedan. The S-special Single-frame grille has aluminum-appearance, double horizontal bars. The grille is surrounded by a chrome frame; the insert is completed in matt platinum grey. Aluminium-look double ribs and honeycomb inserts fill the air inlets within the fender, that are framed with firmly flared edges. Audi offers elective LED headlights for excellent brightness of the route and an unmistakable appearance.

Aluminium - look exterior mirror housings and also the strips get the eye in the flanks of the sedan. The rear fender was redesigned, along with a subtle spoiler lip offers an aesthetic design feature near the peak of the trunk-lid. The rear lights mainly apply LED technology. The platinum grey diffuser has an aluminium-look double bar and four ribs. Among the twelve paint finishes will be the unique crystaleffect colours Panther Sepang blue and black. S3 badges adorn the front along with the back.

Completely in black: The inside

The Audi S3 Sedan features a inside, like the, conventional inlays in matt brushed aluminium. A lot of the controls glow within an aluminium-look finish. As in most Audi, procedure is easy and also the characteristic uncompromising.

Excellent attention to detail files the sedan's dynamic nature. The dials of the devices come in a S - specific dark grey metallic finish; the needles and figures are white. The tachometer includes a threedimensional S3 symbol plus a boost pressure gauge. The powerretractable monitor (standard using the MMI radio and over) powers up-to exhibit an unique S3 display.

A leathercovered sport steering-wheel with the S3 badge is, in addition, normal in the Audi S3 Sedan. Audi also provides a leathercovered, multifunction sport steering-wheel with all the rim flattened at the end, and shift paddles with aluminum details are offered as an alternative in conjunction with all the S tronic. Other S - special attributes are the pedals and foot rest of brushed metal and also the red rings around the button as well as around the specially-designed gear selector lever.

The front sport seats provide help and optimum maintain. The seat cushions could be prolonged, and S3 logos are embossed within the back-rests. The side bolsters come as conventional whilst the seat centre sections are covered in fabric covered in Pearl Nappa leather. Contrast stitching supplies accents. The twocolour Audi design collection in black / parade red is a choice.

The listing of standard gear in the S3 Sedan includes deluxe automatic air-conditioning, an antitheft alarm system, xenon plus headlights and also the luggage compartment package and storage. Topping the variety of infotainment alternatives is MMI navigation plus with MMI touch. The complementary Audi join module supports the LTE standard to create Audi's customized Web solutions for the auto. The variety of innovative driver support systems is, in addition, groundbreaking. Delivery of the brand-new top-of-theline version in Germany starts in February 2014 at a base cost of EUR40,400.
