Audi S3

The Audi S3 is a performance version of the Audi A3 small family car, built by the German automaker Audi since 1999. S3 variants have been made from the first generation through the fourth generation of the A3, and like all Audi S models it is sold only with quattro four-wheel drive. The second generation, Typ 8P, is powered by a modified and uprated Volkswagen Group 2.0 litre turbocharged FSI petrol engine with a maximum output of 195 kW. Body variants have changed through the generations: the S3 Cabriolet has a fabric top that opens in less than 18 seconds, and in a later generation only the hatchback and the sedan are offered, with deliveries of the sedan starting at the beginning of 2014.
