2015 Audi A3/S3 Revealed (Sedan)

[schocker]

I had forgotten about this and no one seems to be that excited here....

Lets start with the S3.
Quattro, 2.0FSI, 6-spd S-tronic (Only... BOOOOOO ), 0-60 4.7s, ~300hp for about $39k US (roughly $50k)
Sounds like a great combo. Engine based on the TTS I believe and should compete nicely with the CLA. Doesn't come out until next summer though!

A3 Sedan, blah blah who cares
It was really the european model revealed, FWD or quattro, engines will TDI, 2.0T, 1.8T, maybe manual , s-tronic, cloth or fake leather or leather or alcantara, option it more than an S3, sure go ahead. Also comes out in 2014 as 2015 MY, typical VW tricks to make us wait that long!

Looks fantastic. Audi really does have some of the nicest designers... for both in and out of their vehicles.

I actually perfer the look of the S3 over the CLA45...

Too bad no DCT tho...

Well I was surprised the A3 got s-tronic instead of the 8spd zf like the A4
I noticed now that the exhaust tips are attached to the bumper ehhhhh

I thought the Audi designer left for KIA, not so much me thinks. Nice enough in the S3 version, has the interior been revised as well? Answer... yes:

Europe can keep it.

Bring over the RS3 (avant) with the 6 speed manual hooked to the 2.5L 5banger.

Reminds me of Acura ilx.

Basically the same size as the B5 A4!

I thought the old S3's were hatchback or estate models?

[Mitsu3000gt]

FINALLY. The S3/RS3 sedan is my #1 most wanted car haha.

Booo to no DSG though - that would have seemed like a no-brainer to me, especially since the regular A3 gets it. Perhaps the RS3 will make it here yet .

Loving the looks of that interior as well.

Looks exactly like a jetta to me lol They should at least change a little more you would think.

Edit: The front and side view only.

Yes but they didn't really sell well here. I think europe still gets the hatch, but NA gets the sedan instead.


S-TRONIC IS DSG YOU GOOFS!!

I was literally just reading that on Audi's website. I had it in my head that S-tronic was single clutch like the R8 uses. It should in fact have DSG

What a great looking car... when do you guys think it'll be available in Canada?

Wonder when they'll announce the RS3...

[Disoblige]

Fuck you S3... Making me wait even longer for a new car.
Summer 2014 wtf...

Car looks great. I like the fact it's smaller than the CLA too.
