Fifth Gear  Monday 29 September 2008

The Audi S3 is now available with seven speed S tonic twin-clutch transmission for the first time. Available in three and five-door versions, the twin-clutch arrangement helps to speed up shifts whilst also slowing down fuel consumption. The S3 offers 265bhp and a 0-62mph time of just 5.5 seconds with fuel consumption of 33.2mpg on the combined cycle. The S3 with S tronic transmission is available on the new S3 from the 1st October priced from £28,920 for the three-door and £29,420 for the five-door sportback model.
