After the version with two doors, the Audi S3 now is also available as a Sportback. Four doors are more practical to step aboard for passengers, after which they will be driven completely queasy. The two cylinder TFSI-engine still has 300 bhp and 380 Nm like the two-door version. This makes a sprint to hundred kilometers per hour in five seconds to one of the possibilities. Is this fast enough to keep up with its rivals? Who knows, who cares, but it’s a fact that this car will be a serious player with its Quattro-drivetrain.
The S3 Sportback has become 70 kilograms lighter than the previous S3 Sportback, this thanks to Audi ultra lightweight built, so now the standard version will weigh 1445 kilograms. The torque increased to 380 Newtonmeters due clever technologies like double injection, Audi valvelift and an manifold integrated in the cylinder heads. The direct effect of this is a very eager reaction of the throttle’s moves. In the dymanic mode an valve in the exhaust will be opened for an extra cool soundtrack. At the outside we see all the typical Audi S-elements under which finishing in aluminium at the grill and rearview mirrors. Also big air intakes, four exhausts, a diffuser and a rear spoiler underline the sporty character of the Sportback.
