Sheefa Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi all Check out the new Audi RS3 due mid year. Unbelievable. 340bhp and through 4wd achieving 0-62 in around 4.5 secs with 400nm + torque. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/firstdrives/261757/audi_rs3.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp3HjfYvk84&feature=related I thought that was amazing, until I saw this ridiculous modified S3!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Id2O0vC7Lk&feature=related I see a new opportunity to change my company car!!!!!

Ian W Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Surely that S3 has had a transplant? Weren't they 2L Turbos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 1.8T I think for the early ones, the later ones were 3.2 V6 I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 1.8L turbo for that generation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 that S2 was as beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Says in the title of the video that it's 3.2 turbo. That generation came standard with 1.8T then the generation after was 2.0T. The S3's never came standard with a 3.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 1.8L turbo for that generation! Ah yeah, that's what I meant (my mate had one ffs....just my shite memory ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ah yeah, that's what I meant (my mate had one ffs....just my shite memory ) I remembered because I always wanted an Ibiza Cupra R and they had almost the same engine. Ended up with a Supra TT, can't complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Immense hey. This gen was likely the 1.8 Turbo 225ps version as stock with 280nm torque. Turbo has certainly been changed. Audi never made a 3.2 S3 though, so is it a 3.2 quattro or an S3 with a 3.2 engine as its a Mk.1 there is a chassis difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 £40k + I bet! Got Autoexpress last week. £45,000 quoted in mag I think but £40k as you said and on their website: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/259804/audis_rs3_storms_in.html It is STUNNING, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 I would love to see this round the track against one of the 500bhp+ Supra's on here ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
