mmmm yes please! i'm imagining it'll have decent wheels on the production model though

Looks identical to the current A3 Sports to me. Although that's not a bad thing... at all

From my first look its got a totally different bumper design and I would imagine it will have different wheels as they are available here and stanard in the states on the 3.2.

The grill has crome on it and the rear bumper is also different from whats available now too.

The new audi S3 will be out this November

Yup Yup it will and will be different from that, knew its the yellow one with the haha wheels!

Apparently they couldnt get a V6 in it so its not as powerful as it could be.....strange because they could fit it in the A3 and the size is similar?

Strange, as the A3 and S3 are virtually the same car, except for a couple of changes. Might have something to do with the 2.0 TFSi engine is more tunable, and as its 1.2L and 2 cylinders lighter than the 2.0L lump its going to be a fair bit lighter.

Very nice looking car, although i hope, as others have said, a decent set of alloys are used on the production models as those are horrible.

Looks like a Focus ST, nothing wrong with that though. V nice.

I like it. As well as the wheels I hope the colour code the front splitter for the production model... not that I care as I'll never be able to afford one

Word on the grapevine is 260PS based around the 2.0T with an uprated turbo. 4x4 obviously, and DSG will show up at some point so should be a nice motor.

Might cause a stir with potential 3.2 buyers as it will be faster and probably more economical too. Although I guess better throttle response and engine noise might still sell the 3.2.
