Its !!! When have we ever seen a test car with hood pins and a carbon front splitter. the car isnt even covered and the wheel arches are the standard size. They just look bigger because of the offset. And since when does Audi use a single wiper, and there isnt any chromed out mirrors....

Sorry to spoil the fun!

Party Pooper!

But actually, could this car be tetsing the RS3 engine, whatever it is, or has autoexpress really stuffed up?

It looks awesome and mean.... and 350 hp is plenty to drive a car like that!

I don't think the "RS3" is gonna happen, an April fools that's gone too far...

I agree with you all, the RS3 is BS! 350bhp in a car of this size would be stupid, and those of you who think they could fit a V8 in that car, it just won't happen!

The S3 will happen though, and I expect it will have the same power and engine as the R36!

No, the S3 will have a 2.0 litre FSI K04 turbo engine with 191 kW/260 hp.

w/ DSG the S3 should hit 60 in the high to mid fives. A nice package that won't make it state side. - I'm not really all that upset though, we still and will always have the MIni.

I believe there will not be a S-Tronic (DSG) option for the S3 Quattro.
There is not yet (so far i know) a Quattro S-Tronic (DSG) gearbox for the 4 cylinder engine, only a FWD version.
The VR6 Quattro S-Tronic don't fit on to the 4 cylinder engine.

I knew that, just wasn't thinking!

I hope it will be as good as the last S3, that used to be one of my favourite cars, mainly because it looked so understated, but I knew underneath it was an awesome machine!

there is a chance they could modify S tronic to be compatable w/ the drivetrain and engine, no?
