If you want an RS3 look in this months Audi driver. Kim Collins and his friends have put an RS4 engine, gearbox rolling gear into an S3 and chipped it to 475bhp. WHAT AN ANIMAL and its for sale!!! :rocker:

PS Move it brakes, H&R suspension and some fancy bumper.

Apparrently the engine bay of the S3 is larger than the A4 owing to the transverse engine :shock:

Todays Autocar edition says, no RS3 but the S3 due early 2006 will be a V6 turbo (same as Colin M is saying from Sport Import, although he says next year)

An RS3 with 400bhp and twin turbo from a V6 3.2L had been awesome..but ok, Audi just want to put RS marks in A4 and A6 and let the A3 with just!! the S version....don´t get it, but ok!!..

Regards,
