Audi plans a major performance boost for the S3 with the car's upcoming refresh.
Audi is close to launching an updated version of the current A3 compact sedan and hatchback, and updates are also planned for the performance-oriented models in the range, the S3 and RS 3., which will bring a major step up in performance for the car.
A 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission carries over, but engineers have optimized it to deliver higher starting torque and as a result more rapid acceleration. Shift times have also been cut in half under full load.. This is a Haldex differential with multi-disc clutches on each rear axle shaft that allows the updated S3 to not only direct torque between the front and rear axles, but now also between the rear wheels. This will help improve handling through corners.
To further aid the handling, the S3's McPherson strut front suspension features a new pivot bearing that enables more negative wheel camber. Together with stiffer wishbones, the updated S3 delivers more grip and as a result improved control during cornering, according to Audi. The updated A3 range is expected to debut shortly. The cars should arrive as 2025 models in the U.S., and once again only the sedan body style should be sold here.
