New Audi S3...
« on: 19 August 2006, 17:25 »
Has anyone seen it ?
Looks pretty good to me, no V6 just a 2 litre turbo charged motor pushing out around 265 bhp
I dont think you can have paddle shift DSG as an option though, I think its around the £26,500 mark.

Anyone have any more info on my rubbish little effort ??

They are also making a RS3 apparently! :drool: :drool: :drool:

looks pretty mean doesnt it, i like it.

maybe it'll be a V6 turbo in the RS3  :evil:

I hear that they are putting that V10 TDI from the tourag in the RS6 aswell 303bhp i think with about 500 ft IB's of torque ( i think)

I thought it was the V10 petrol engine from the Lambo???

That S3 looks cool - the wheels dont look much though  :sad:

All depends on how it drives?  Old S3 was just OK.  Latest 3.2 is dull. Third time lucky for the Audi?

Will look forward to a test drive in the new year.

I love that S3 my mates dad used to have the old one and that was a gorgeous car. my dad is thinking about getting an S4 2.7 twin turbo lovely car.

I thought it was the V10 petrol engine from the Lambo???

That S3 looks cool - the wheels dont look much though :sad:

i always thought the RS6 was a 4.2 V8 bi turbo but i maybe wrong are they bringing out a new one then??

both V10's I think, or it may just be an idea with the diesel one at the moment not sure. I was skim reading!  :laugh:
