New Audi A3/S3 Facelift In Depth

New video footage

Audi news has been coming in thick and fast the past few days with the extravagant A3 TDI Clubsport quattro concept and that Audi will indeed put the TT Clubsport quattro Concept into production too. The A3 TDI Clubsport quattro will make its debut at the upcoming Wörthersee Tour in Austria, the place where the TT Clubsport quattro made a shock entrance last year.

The facelifted Audi A3 and S3 fit into the crowd (or should we say traffic jam) a bit better. In conjunction with the in depth press release in the following pages Audi released the first driving footage of their freshened A3.

The A3 comes with a nice array of engine choice ranging from 102 hp 1.6 liter petrol engine and a 105 hp 1.9 liter TDI to the range topping 265 hp 2.0 liter TFSI petrol engine in the S3. New to the range is the S3 Sportback with its 1,100 liter trunk and three doors in addition to the 5-door S3 hatchback.

Audi offers a five-speed manual transmission in its entry level models, a six-speed manual for the remainder of the model range while the 3.2 liter quattro six-cylinder is hooked up to a (semi)-automatic S tronic dual clutch transmission.

Still looks boring... needs more agressive design, hope next generation in 2010 would be...

It almost seems as if Audi had went back a little, on the exterior of the 2dr A3, rather than fwd. It still looks good though.
