Audi South Africa <\/strong>has announced the availability of the updated S3<\/strong> models. Both the sedan and Sportback versions have gone on sale in Mzansi<\/strong>, each costing just over R1 million<\/strong>. For that you also get more power<\/strong>; Audi has gifted the pair some more Golf R power<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Audi S3 has stood as the stoic in-betweener<\/strong>, straddling the area between the regular A3 range and the hard core RS 3<\/strong>. Yes it began as a rang-topper itself, but was since surpassed by the 5-cylinder RS model. So with this update, S3 buyers get 245kW<\/strong> and 420Nm<\/strong> of torque, available between 2 100 and 5 500 rpm. Such power comes from the upgraded 2.0-litre TFSI<\/strong> petrol engine, as well as the 7-speed<\/strong> S tronic transmission. Thanks in no small part to the quattro<\/strong> AWD system, the S3 will attain a 4.7 second<\/strong> 0 \u2013 100km\/h sprint time, and a 250km\/h top end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the features included in the cars are a redesigned hexagonal frameless Singleframe<\/strong> grille, Matrix LED<\/strong> headlights, 19-inch alloy<\/strong> wheels, red brake calipers, sports leather<\/strong> seats, stainless steel foot pedals, a flat-bottomed<\/strong> multi-function steering wheel and illuminated door seals. The MMI<\/strong> infotainment system comes via a 25.6cm touch screen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
