In-game description[]
"An A3-based sports model in which you can enjoy dynamic driving performance."
Created as the sporty version of Audi's popular A3 hatchback, the S3 extended Audi's range of its sporty "S" series to the compact-vehicle class. Because it shared the same platform of Volkswagen's[1] sporty Golf GTI, the S3's handling character was already ensured when it made its debut in 1999.[2]
It was what Audi put under the hood that intrigued many. Under the hood was a transversely-mounted 1.8-liter DOHC inline-4 which is turbocharged and twin intercooled. The output of this powerplant was daunting, with 221 HP and 206.6 lb-ft[3] of torque peaking[4] at a low 2200 rpm. It came mated only to a 6-speed manual gearbox that transferred power to all four tires via Audi's excellent quattro[5] all-wheel-drive system.
The combination of the engine and chassis was flawless as the S3 ripped through straight sections of road like a hot rod, and cornered like a sports car on the twisty stuff. Ride quality was surprisingly smooth for such a small car. Its main characteristic was its quick reflexes, borne[6] from the car's low curb weight of 1420 kg.
Audi designers kept the car's visual enhancements to a minimum, retaining the A3's stately overall appearance, with only subtle hints that it was not your typical A3. But it was when the car was on the road that people really noticed the prowess of Audi's version of the hot hatchback.
