Just had confirmation that the new A3 3.2 litre power will definately be 250bhp. The car will be available only in the 3 door version initially and with a 6 speed manual box. twin clutch version not until next year.

I should be able to take firm orders on the new A3 in about 2-3 months from now.

Shame about the wait for the twin-clutch 'box. Juding by the initial reviews on the A3, would DEFINITELY be interested in one of those.

One assumes that, while the V6's 250bhp is less than many people's (mine included) modded 260bhp, the extra cylinders and torque will make it a close match?

I definately think there is room for a S3 but its going to have to be alot better than the 3.2 V6 A3!

A3 3.2 V6 250bhp quattro=

0-62mph around 6.7seconds

top speed of 152mph

S3 3.2 V6 280bhp quattro= (non-official)

0-62mph should be 6seconds or alittle below

top speed of 155mph electronically resticted

RS3 3.2 V6 Bi-turbo 350bhp quattro= (non-official)

0-62mph should be sub 5seconds

top speed of 160-170ish unofficially (155mph on paper like RS4)

I think that its too early to tell if they will make a S3 or RS3! sekret.gif
