Available with the same 265 hp 2.0
TFSI engine as the new
Audi S3 hatchback, the slightly larger
2009 Audi S3 Sportback is only 0.1 second slower accelerating from zero to 100 km/h speed in stunning 5.8 seconds.
Posted by: nektotigra on 25/04/08 Unfortunately, the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox is not available with this model. Instead, the
Sportback's engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with the standard
Quattro driveline.
Staying at the top of the
A3/S3 range, the
2009 Audi S3 Sportback comes equipped with such standard features as 18-inch wheels, black brake calipers on 17-inch disk brakes, 25mm lower suspension setup, xenon plus headlamps with LED daytime running lights, new grille, bumpers and roof spoiler.
Inside the car, you'll also find such amenities as new sport seats available in cloth, Alcantara/leather and full leather trim, aluminum pedals, black or silver headlining and three different styles of inlay.
The car will come to dealerships this summer. Still no info on pricing, though.
