No M for the 1er YET, the A class.. that's a no brainer, no one would buy an AMG version of that car. However I think there would be a market out there for an RS3, but since there are for sure no plans for this car, lets continue w/ the S3... maybe they'll use aluminum for some upgraded performance enhancements.

Well no matter if it's true or not we have to thank Iceman for posting the information he got here.

There is no point shooting the messanger.

You are right that an RS3 would be nice but perhaps Audi doesn't want to make a more powerful version of the A3 since the competition (1 series) is not offering anything above 260 hp.

Agreed. You're a moderator, you're suppose to set the tone for the forum, not rupture it.

As I have said before, w/ the 300 hp R36 there may be no reason for an S3 here in the states, but at the same time the euro MKV R32 puts out about 247 hp, so I dont know that 260hp will be enough afterall, wouldn't sell a whole lot for Audi.

I 'm not a moderator but this is only a car forum. We shouldn't take all things said too seriously.

No no, not you, Audiholic.

Though we always say not to take things seriously and what not, fact is, we do, we're humans. If forums weren't to be taken seriously and what people say, then there wouldn't be auch a thing as forum rules.

Thanks for the top two new pics Just_me, the info sheet has already been posted. Am I color blind or do I see red brake calipers on the blue A3? I'd take this car over a Golf R36 if they bought it here, looks uber sweet.

Is that supposed to be the finished S3 in blue because I don't see the chrome side mirrors.

its supposed to be the upcoming S3 but if its the final version, I dont know yet.
