The Audi S3 has received a major upgrade, with an increase in output to 329bhp and the addition of a torque splitter system, which has been taken from the latest RS3 mega-hatch.
Both the four-door saloon and five-door hatchback versions of the performance model also receive a number of minor styling changes, in line with the recent facelift of the regular A3. The revisions are intended to boost the performance and handling of the S3 to help it keep pace with the BMW M135i and Mercedes-AMG A35.
