Major update is intended to boost the fun side of Audi hot hatch’s all-rounder appeal
Audi describes this latest S3 Sportback as “more than a mere product upgrade”, which has the distinct whiff of marketing hype – until you run through the list of the changes that the firm has wrought beneath the fetching camouflage wrap of our prototype test car.
Stopping power now comes from bigger front brakes, which feature 357mm steel discs. The progressive steering system has been tweaked too. Full performance details aren’t public yet, but the 0-62mph sprint now passes 0.1sec quicker, at 4.7sec. But the litany of changes and adjustments mentioned above aren’t really about improving the times: it’s about better meeting that all-rounder brief.
