Woow! I really didnt expect there to be a S3 Cab!
Somthings telling me that this will be a HUGE seller...:cool2:

[ZeroCool]

as you can also see it's S-Tronic! :)

p.s. looks GREAT :)

[The Pretender]

But the big question is: will it have "Quattro".
Because with the A3 Cabrio introduction Audi info say Quattro is not possible on the A3 Cabrio construction wise.
If truth, the S3 Cabrio will be the first "NON Quattro Audi S car".

Looks cool Man!

[ZeroCool]

that's a good question :)

let's wait and see...that would be good - because i'm planning to get an S3 Engine in my A3 .. but i also have only front wheel drive :)

Audi S / RS without Quattro = FAIL...bigtime.

[Mockenrue]

I don't believe for one second that Audi would produce an 'S' car without quattro - it just goes against their entire ethos.

Some people here in the UK are claiming that this car is just a fake, i.e. an A3 Cab with all the S3 bits stuck on. If it is then it's a very convincing one as the dials, brakes, interior touches etc. all look genuine.

I know very well where the pictures were taken. This is the parking area under the Audi museum. I really really doubt such a prototype will be there in the public area.

When you drive in the parking lot in the 1st level underground, you make a right, drive until you have to make a left. In front of you at the very end, there is a big door. This is a very specially area for Audi VIP, prototypes and so one.

But definitely not there. Not such a prototype. It would have been so easy to take picture of the rear wheels and check if it was quattro or not.

Very nice car! I wish to have a hardtop coupe version from this! Like BMW 135i, similar to old Audi 80 coupe. That car would be a looker!

[Leadfoot]

I take it the roof mechanism has something to do with the reason for no Quattro because I can't see any other possible reason not to include it.

[Mockenrue]

But the TT Roadster is available with quattro, and doesn't that have a similar mechanism?

[tvrfan]

will be there a S3 cabrio for real, and when will it release??? i hope soo! thats such a cool car.
