how cool is that boost gauge? the little S3 sedan is going to be a hoot here in the states. wonder what "big premiere" or concept Audi has in store for Paris. they've now rounded out the new A3 variants for the euro market. A4/A5/A6/A8/Q5 have been updated. maybe a new Q7or A9 concept.

Nice that it got the 300 hp and not the 280. Looks like the hi po version of the new 225 hp 2.0T from the Q5.

Very cool! A3 should come standard with LED headlights. It gives the otherwise very boring car so much presence...

Besides the 4 exhaust tips it looks great. Love the seats.

Makes you wonder what they'll do with the RS3.
My wish list, if you're reading this Stephen R, is: 400 bhp. Improved fuel consumption, a softer ride, twin oval exhausts and nicer alloy wheels. Oh, and can it arrive by 2014, instead of 2018 please.

I wonder what happened with the VAG Haldex 5 special development.
Back in the days there was a high profile very costly contract signed between VAG and Haldex to develop a all new Haldex 5 system for the new MQB floorplan.
There are no big announcements about the 4WD system used under this S3, so what's used here, still Haldex 4.
Very disappointing driving dynamics can be expected again with a mostly 90% frontwheel drive layout.
It would be something when they introduced a rear bias Haldex 5 system for this car.
