Audi S3 (8V) Cabriolet Convertible (2014-2020)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Audi S3 Cabriolet (Type 8V) is a compact convertible in production from 2014 to 2020. It was powered by a turbocharged inline-4 engines that displaced 2.0 liters. Both manual and DCT transmissions were available.
Compared to the base A3 Cabriolet, the S3 has some "athletic" design elements and a markedly higher engine output in excess of 300 PS. While this is still below that of the RS 3, the S3 is already a weapon for its compact chassis.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Audi S3 Cabriolet uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
