Audi S3 - an intermediate option between the comfortable golf class from the Audi A3 and the uncontested sport from the "charged" modification of the RS3. Already by default, the Audi S3 has a permanent all-wheel drive system and lowered suspension. Under the hood of a three-door, a two-liter turbocharged gasoline engine is installed. Maximum 265 hp it produces at 6,000 rpm, and peak 350 Nm of torque in the range of 2,500-5,000 rpm. Paired with a six-band S Tronic robotic box, the hatchback accelerates to a hundred kilometers per hour in 5.5 seconds.
Outwardly, the sports orientation in the car is given out by chrome-plated mirror housings, dynamic bumpers and skirts, as well as 18-inch rims, which are standard for the model.
Inside, in addition to a pair of stylized nameplates with the model designation, the interior of the Audi S3 is decorated with seats with developed lateral support, a steering wheel beveled at the base, and aluminum pedals.
In the near future, the second generation of the Audi S3 will be replaced by the third generation of the model, built on the basis of the new A3 and presented in the fall of 2012 at the international motor show in Paris. The previous generation Audi S3 was produced, the remains of which are sold on the Ukrainian market, at the company's plant in Hungary.
