Audi S3 2024 Unveiled: Where Performance and Innovation Converge
Discover the Audi S3 2024, featuring enhanced torque, agile handling, and a bold design. Experience sportiness redefined with advanced technology and dynamic performance.
The Audi S3 debuts an array of advanced features, making it much more than a mere update. Its enhanced power output, innovative torque splitter, and cutting-edge tech advancements deliver robust performance and nimble maneuverability. Its exterior showcases this dynamism with a bold front design, athletic diffuser, and a striking four-pipe exhaust system, embodying the essence of sportiness. The S3 will hit dealerships in both Sportback and sedan forms in Q2 2024, starting at 55,600 euros.
The S3 now boasts a 2.0 TFSI engine, ramping up to 333 PS, providing an impressive 245 kW and 420 Nm of torque, a boost of 23 PS and 20 Nm. This upgrade ensures vigorous acceleration and a formidable pull. The S3 sprints from 0-100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds, with torque peaking across a broad spectrum from 2,100 to 5,500 rpm, capping off at a max speed of 250 km/h. Engine and transmission enhancements include a preloaded turbocharger for consistent performance and a more responsive seven-speed S tronic transmission.
The S3 now features a quattro drive with a torque splitter, enhancing both agility and stability by dynamically distributing torque between the rear wheels based on the driving mode and situation.
The new dynamic plus mode in the Audi drive select intensifies the driving experience, pushing more torque to the rear axle and favoring the outer rear wheel in turns, encouraging a sportier, oversteer-prone handling.
The S3’s suspension sees significant refinements for more responsive steering and better cornering grip, supported by the standard S sports suspension which lowers the car for a more grounded feel.
The standard offering includes 18-inch tires, with an option for two new 19-inch tires, including high-performance sports tires from Falken for exceptional dry road handling.
Upgraded with larger front ventilated brake disks and new two-piston calipers, the S3 ensures better braking performance under dynamic driving conditions.
The S3 sports a more aggressive look with a flatter, wider grille, L-shaped design elements, and a motorsport-inspired front spoiler, emphasizing its sporty demeanor.
Redesigned daytime running lights and the option to switch between four digital signatures add a personalized touch to the S3’s appearance.
The interior reflects the car’s exterior dynamism, with enhancements from shifter design to ambient lighting, all emphasizing a sleek, technical aesthetic.
The S3 is fully digital and connected, offering a wide array of services, apps, and functions on demand for a seamless and flexible driving experience.
