New S3 & RS3

See the article on the new S3 and RS3 last week ?



Wow.



S3 due in UK early 2005 at approx £26,000 (UKP). RS3 due in UK in 2006 at £35,000 (UKP)



S3 will have 3.2 V6 delivering 280 BHP. RS3 will have 3.2 V6 with turbo delivering 350 BHP with 0 to 60 mph in under 5 secs.



Just got to convince the wife now.

If you go to

, youcan still read the article with pictures. Ray

In the related link, they claim the new RS3 will be a good rival to Evos and Imprezas, but I don't think this will be possible unless they fit Quattro with Active Diffs, at least a rear one to transfer torque from either one of the rear wheels to the other. Hofefully, we might then see this in our new A4s, too.

Cheers,
