Audi S3 Sportback will arrive next year!

The three-door version of the sharper Audi S3 will go on sale in early 2013, but there was still the question of when the more practical five-door variant would appear. And it really looks like we've been waiting. The new Audi S3 Sportback will arrive sometime next year.

Although a new generation will enter, the 2.0 -liter turbocharged four-cylinder TFSI with direct injection will remain under the hood, which will offer increased power by 35 hp and torque by 30 Nm compared to its predecessor. This means that 296 hp and 380 Nm are transmitted to the driven all four wheels through a six-speed manual or dual-clutch S-Tronic .

In the aging Audi S3 , the acceleration to 100 was done in 5.8 seconds, while the new model can do it in 5.1 seconds. The maximum speed does not change, it remains at 250 km/h. According to data from the Ingolstadt automaker, the 2013 Audi S3 with a manual transmission will achieve an average consumption of 6.9 l/100 km. For that, with the S-Tronic transmission, the consumption is equal to 7 l/100 km.
