"New Audi S3" big mistake engine wise.

Iceman · 12-24-2005, 09:42 PM

The new Audi S3 will have a 2.0T FSI engine with 191 Kw/260 hp.
In mine opinion is this a big mistake by Audi.
Audi had shown "Vorsprung Durch Technik" by re-introducing a transeverse mounted 2.6 litre FSI Tubo or TSI "Twincharger" 5 cylinder engine in the new S3.
This 5 cylinder engine is easely produced from a half Audi S8 5.2 V10 FSI engine.

Well keep in mind it's an S3 and not an RS3. It would be nice if they made an RS3, but I don't think they will.

Where did you get the info?

Too bad this car WON'T come to the states. Darn Americans!

It seems a shame to me as well, this car should have a V6 IMO and be more R32 like than GTI! To me an S3 is a fast refined car, not a car which needs to rev a lot to get its power!

I guess its a competitior to BMW 130i and VW R32

And I defenitely doubt this. You'll see.

I 'm not certain if it's true or not but maybe they did it in order for the S3 to have a better weight distribution than the 3.2 lt one.
