 | "New Audi S3" big mistake engine wise. The new Audi S3 will have a 2.0T FSI engine with 191 Kw/260 hp. In mine opinion is this a big mistake by Audi. Audi had shown "Vorsprung Durch Technik" by re-introducing a transeverse mounted 2.6 litre FSI Tubo or TSI "Twincharger" 5 cylinder engine in the new S3. This 5 cylinder engine is easely produced from a half Audi S8 5.2 V10 FSI engine. wfg, Hans. Last edited by Iceman; 12-24-2005 at 09:53 PM. |

| Re: "New Audi S3" big mistake engine wise. Well keep in mind it's an S3 and not an RS3. It would be nice if they made an RS3, but I don't think they will. Where did you get the info? |

 | Re: "New Audi S3" big mistake engine wise. It seems a shame to me as well, this car should have a V6 IMO and be more R32 like than GTI! To me an S3 is a fast refined car, not a car which needs to rev a lot to get its power! |

| Re: "New Audi S3" big mistake engine wise. I 'm not certain if it's true or not but maybe they did it in order for the S3 to have a better weight distribution than the 3.2 lt one.
