AudiPassion and GermanCarBlog are reporting an interesting siting. Check out the A3 shown. Outwardly, it's a black A3 with S-line package. Inside, you'll spot what looks to be a special interior from quattro GmbH. All of that may not be so special, but consider the background. The spot this A3 sits in is typically used for Audi board member parking at the company's HQ in Ingolstadt. Remember the RS 4 spotted a few weeks ago with ceramic brakes and reported on here a few weeks ago? Same spot.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this A3 is the small sign affixed to the steering wheel. It instructs the driver not to rev past a lofty 7500 rpm. Does that mean it's the next S3, or even RS 3 given what we know of the high-revving RS 4?
Well, that's possible I guess, but unlikely. Cars driven by board members are sometimes special build or prototype cars that may or may not get built. We'd heard months ago that a prototype twin-turbocharged A3 existed, but that the engine was too costly for series production. Just because a prototype exists doesn't mean a car will be built.

I don't know what i should think of it, because in the original text at audipassion (in french) you can read something about a v6 biturbo.
Maybe someone who can speak french can translate it a little bit.
