Detailed analysis of the Audi S3 2.0 TFSI 228 kW (310 CV) quattro S tronic 7 vel. · 310 CV (2016-2017)
General description
The 2016 Audi S3 is not just a more powerful A3; it is the embodiment of an elite sports car in a compact and discreet package. With 310 horsepower of pure emotion flowing from its 2.0 TFSI engine, quattro all-wheel drive, and the lightning-fast S tronic gearbox, this car promises and delivers an experience that gives you goosebumps from the very first moment.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the S3 is an adrenaline rush. The acceleration is brutal, catapulting you from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds with a force that pins you to the seat. The engine sound, deep and with backfires on downshifts, is an addictive melody. The 7-speed S tronic gearbox changes gears with telepathic precision and speed, while the quattro all-wheel drive gives you absolute confidence to devour corners, feeling how the car clings to the asphalt without the slightest hesitation.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is an exercise in sporty elegance. It maintains the sobriety of the A3 but spices it up with details that betray its nature. The specific Singleframe grille, more aggressive bumpers, satin aluminum mirror caps, and above all, the quad exhaust tips, are a statement of intent. The 3-door body accentuates its athletic and compact profile. Inside, Audi's quality is palpable in every material, with sport seats that hug you and a flat-bottomed steering wheel that invites you to drive.
Technology and features
Under its skin lies a top-tier technological arsenal. The 2.0 TFSI engine with dual injection is a work of engineering capable of delivering 310 HP and 400 Nm of torque in an explosive yet controllable manner. The dual-clutch S tronic transmission and the quattro all-wheel drive with variable torque distribution are the brain and muscles that transmit that power to the ground with astonishing efficiency. Elements like the sport suspension and progressive steering complete a technological package designed for maximum performance.
Competition
In the pantheon of 2016 sport compacts, the Audi S3 competed with titans like the BMW M140i, with its exotic six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive, and the radical Mercedes-AMG A 45. It also found a rival in-house, the Volkswagen Golf R, with which it shared much of its mechanical DNA. Against them, the S3 always stood out for its incredible balance between pure performance, daily usability, and a finish quality that bordered on perfection.
Conclusion
The Audi S3 is the perfect duality. It is a car capable of taking you to work with the smoothness and comfort of a premium vehicle, only to then transform into an asphalt beast on your favorite mountain road. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing, an elite athlete that doesn't need to shout about its capabilities. It represents the smart purchase for those seeking strong emotions without giving up the elegance, technology, and versatility of an all-purpose car.
