Announced in autocar this week, the S3 is now available as a sportback model as part of a mid-life facelift for the A3 range.
The S3 sportback reaches 62mph in 5.8secs, just 0.1sec slower than the its smaller brother. It uses the same 261bhp 2litre engine and quattro four-wheel drive.
On sale this summer. |

should be a good seller... but I recon the B5 rs4 engine would be ace in a car of this size... see how long it is before Kim Collins does an example... he did it with the last S3 with RS4 B5 running mechs. |

They are rapid little cars even with a remap, an RS4 lump would be insane (in a good way) |

£35k for a S3!
There are several RS6 (C5) for less than £20k, and loads of RS4 (B7) for less than £30k!
Definitely not for me.....especially in the current climate
Stunning car no doubt. |
