Dear Audi

I hope you are well.

Please dont modify the V8.. just whack it in just as it is, thanks.

There will not be an RS3 forum until Audi officially advise of it being a production vehicle. IMHO Auto Express look like they have taken a pic of some boy racer's Halfords wet dream.

I have seen the new S3 in the flesh, looked like that but with the xtreme front spoiler.

Audi finalise the UK models by running the new models out of Bentley, Crewe. Mainly to tune suspension setup for UK market.

I chanced upon the new S3 and TT going past my house a couple of weeks ago. S3 looked nice, TT yuk (IMHO) just looked like lots of other cars, lost its uniqueness.

The elongation of the body does lend it that Porsche feel.

They've done a great job of the interior. I just don't think they'll ever top the impact the Mk 1 had as it was so unique at the time.

It didn't look like that, that grill is off an S6 or S8.

Got better look at the rear. Overall the car looked line the current S-Line with a lower stance and def had a wider track and hence wheel arches.

tbo they both went past me I was trying to take both in so didn't get hard look.

That grille was actually seen on the S3 spy pics that were released at the beginning of the year.

The shape of the front spoiler seems to fit in with spy pics too, and the red car above.

Did it have dual exhausts? the spy car didnt.

It appears auto express have made a major balls up.

What exactly does this kind of journalism entail? find a pic of a car, then make up the specs and price?
