Audi will launch the sports version of the A3 in autumn this year. It will be equipped with a 2.0 TFSi engine, which is said to deliver 260 HP.
The new S3 has all wheel drive and can be distinguished from the A3 by its different and sportier front end, large alloy wheels and double exhaust pipes.
The photos are showing a prototype without any disguise.
