Tested for a long time, the Audi S3 Sportback will be available to customers soon. Although the German company shared camouflage images of the vehicle until now, the design of the new model was kept secret. Finally, a video appeared in which the design was again camouflaged. Although the design of the vehicle does not appear in the published video, we can see the engine sound and performance. The test drive on Portugal’s São Miguel Island is said to be part of the “First Drive” event that the German company had made for the press for the S3 Sportback prototype. According to the news of Motor1, the vehicle in the video, which has a 2.0 TFSI engine, can produce 310 horsepower and 400 Nm torque in the four-cylinder turbo engine. The Audi S3 Sportback has 4 exhaust outlets in total:
At this point, the reason for the vehicle’s power to remain the same as before WLTP shows the new emission rules that came into force in Europe. In fact, Volkswagen Golf R and Seat Leon Cupra were also forced to cut their power by about 10 hp to reach 310 hp in order not to go beyond WLTP restrictions. In the video released, the vehicle’s 19-inch wheels, fake front and rear air vents and matrix LED headlights stand out. However, unlike the SQ5 and facelifted S6, the S3 Sportback has 4 exhaust outlets in total. This reveals once again that the vehicle will come in a remarkable view. The new S3 Sportback, which has been abandoned from the three-door hatchback body type due to low demand, will also appeal to customers’ wishes. In addition, after the hatckback A3 and S3 Sportback, which will no longer use the three-door body type, this design will not be included in the sedan versions.
