A3/S3/RS3 "New Audi S3" big mistake engine wise.

[Iceman]

The new Audi S3 will have a 2.0T FSI engine with 191 Kw/260 hp.
In mine opinion is this a big mistake by Audi.
Audi had shown "Vorsprung Durch Technik" by re-introducing a transeverse mounted 2.6 litre FSI Tubo or TSI "Twincharger" 5 cylinder engine in the new S3.
This 5 cylinder engine is easely produced from a half Audi S8 5.2 V10 FSI engine.

Well keep in mind it's an S3 and not an RS3. It would be nice if they made an RS3, but I don't think they will.

Where did you get the info?

Too bad this car WON'T come to the states. Darn Americans!

 

[wltsm]

It seems a shame to me as well, this car should have a V6 IMO and be more R32 like than GTI! To me an S3 is a fast refined car, not a car which needs to rev a lot to get its power!

 

[Zafiro]

I guess its a competitior to BMW 130i and VW R32

Oh for gods sake!! Can you please stop saying WILL when you don't know!!!

And I defenitely doubt this. You'll see.

 

[Yperion]

I 'm not certain if it's true or not but maybe they did it in order for the S3 to have a better weight distribution than the 3.2 lt one.

I agree....we still are not certain it will have that engine....

What ever you both like.
I say the S3 WILL have a 2.0T FSI engine with 191 Kw/260 hp.

still speculation, but thanks anyway.

*Also, the U.S. is suppose to get a N/A market specific R36 w/ the 2.8 liter V6 w/ a total of about 306 hp. Good stuff! Especially as I might be in line for one.

I was always hoping for more than 300 hp in the S3. Shame.

They make V5s?

Inline 5 cyl..

Inline 5 cyl..

That doesn't make sense. How do you get an inline 5 by splitting a V10 in half?

 

[Yperion]

If you think about it a V10 is two I5 joint together. So a 5.2 lt V10 can be theoratically split into two 2.6 lt I5 , but theory from reality is very far away sometimes.

BTW VW Jetta uses a 2.5 lt I5 engine in it's base version for US.

Not anymore, production stoped a while ago.
VW have a new (distribution chain on flywheel side) inline 2.5 liter 150 hp 5 cylinder for US Jetta.

exactly!

I remember his saying that the S8 will have a 500 hp + engine...etc etc...

 

[Yperion]

It's more than a speculation since we have the Audi document.It's like there are evidence.

Yeah, and don't you think that these "document" would be available on audi.com or audi.de or any other Audi-site?

It's FAKE!!

Why on earth would Audi give the S3 only 260hp while 3.2 Q has 250...Think... It's unreal!!
