This is a representative of the famous S-Series, only this time a small hatchback is produced on a platform used by Audi A3, VW Golf Mk4, Audi TT, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia. Like all Audi S models, this S3 has a quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. This is the first car in the S-Series to feature a 4-cylinder engine. The 20V 1.8 L turbo engine has 210 hp or 225 hp and a maximum torque of 280 Nm achievable in the 2200 to 5500 rpm speed range. Although the car has a quattro system, it is usually a front-wheel drive car that delivers power to the rear only when the front wheel grip is lost.
