    Audi S3 spied

    Powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with around 270bhp like all performance Audi’s it’ll feature quattro four-wheel-drive. The rather discreet styling is typical of the S models - only the more prominent grille and blistered wheelarches highlighting its potential. It’s unlikely that the performance A3 line-up will end with the S3 though as there are rumours of a hotter model with turbocharged version of VAG’s 3.2-litre V6 engine. It’d produce in excess of 300bhp and will wear Audi’s RS badge.

    This reeks of informed 'accidental' unveiling.

    Painting their car BRIGHT YELLOW to do snow testing? puhlease, they were hoping someone would find it.

    Yea, but there were a few other cars also in the shots with the 3. I remember the S6 was there too, and the Avant model.

    If they ever made it is there even the slightest possibility it might make it to the US since the A3 was finally released here?

    I thought only the 4 door wagon A3 made it to the US, not the 2 door wagon. Not sure if I'm right though.

    They're normal Audi A3 wheels that have been sprayed darker.

    Meh im not convinced the S4 had much greater differences than the A4 so the S3 should be more sporty looking.......
