The usually well-informed Carscoop writes that this week Audi will officialy announce the S3.
The public debut will take place next september at the Paris auto show.
The engine should be another variant of the 2.
0-liter Turbo-FSI, even more more powerful than the version mounted on the Seat Leon Cupra: it is expected to output about 260 ps, with an acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 5.
7 seconds.
The frame should be completed by the Haldex 4WD system and by a six-speed manual gearbox (or the double-clutch S-Tronic automatic gearbox).
The S3 should be on european markets by december 2006.
