AUDI S3 FACELIFT 2024 THE S3 STEPS UP ITS GAME WITH 333 HP

The Compact A3 benefits from a good update and the S3 benefits from it with new aesthetic, technological, chassis and mechanical refinements with an engine that now gets 333 hp.

Available in sporty Sportback and Sedan guises, the redesigned S3 looks sharper than its predecessor with its enlarged Sigle Frame grille, as well as a striking rear diffuser. Under the hood, the 4-cylinder 2-liter turbo engine gains 23 hp and now reaches a peak of 333 hp with a torque of 420 Nm (+20 Nm). This unit is mated to a 7-speed S tronic robotic gearbox with improved gear shifting. The transmission is of the essential Quattro type, but Audi has modified the rear differential with a torque converter that allows transmission to only one of the rear wheels, ensuring a more playful and less locked rear axle. For those who want a more pronounced sound, Audi called on Akrapovic who worked on an (optional) muffler with titanium bars. Audi S3 goes from 0-100 km / h in 4.7 seconds. Maximum torque is available in the range of 2,100 to 5,500 rpm. The maximum speed is limited to 250 km / h. Audi has also added a new Dynamic Plus driving mode that includes the previous 5 modes (automatic, comfort, power, individual and efficiency).

The Audi S3 will be available in France in the coming weeks from €63,000 for the Audi S3 Sportback and €63,565 for the Audi S3 Sedan.
