Product Overview

Audi S3 (Typ 8P1) facelift is the performance variant of the facelifted A3 compact hatchback in production from 2008 to 2012. It was powered by an inline-4 petrol engine that displaced 2.0 liters.

Compared to the pre-facelift model, Audi expanded the lineup and introduced a model with DCT alongside the manual offering. Unfortunately, in some markets where emission regulations went insane, Audi had to reduce the vehicle's output.

Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Audi S3 uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
