This is the new Audi S3 Saloon and Sportback. Power comes from a 2.0 TFSI engine with 310 PS and 400 Nm of torque. 0-62 mph takes 4.8 seconds and its top speed is restricted to 155 mph.

Prices for the S3 Sportback start at £37,900 on the road and £38,465 on the road for the S3 Saloon.

“The S3 has always presented a very strong case for customers keen to make the transition to a higher-performance Audi since it first debuted over 20 years ago, and I firmly believe that these latest incarnations couldn’t communicate the advantages much more powerfully.

The exacting attention to detail, the everyday usability and the slickly integrated technology that stand out in the A3 range are present and correct here, but they are combined with performance and handling capability that are nothing short of phenomenal – these are truly enthralling new models, and will be even more so when combined with the virtually all-encompassing Vorsprung specification which will become available for the first time at this level later this year.”

Said Director of Audi UK Andrew Doyle.
