that is exactly what the S3 is supposed to look like, customers who want even more sportyness go for the RS3, Audi doesn't want the S3 to look as good because then it would cannibalize its bigger brother.

@@milinddixit6583 Wrong. You could walk past an 8V RS3 and not even notice it. The stupid pop up screen inside and dated interior did it no favours, as well as the flawed driving position. It handled like a bar of soap and the brakes weren't that great when you leant on them I owned one for two year. I now have the 8Y RS3 and wow, just wow. Looks wise, in another league, it gets so many heads turning, never had that with the last car. It's way better to drive and at last, you can get comfortable in it. Tech wise it's a big step up and no more stupid pop up screen. I've ceramics on mine and the full carbon exterior pack, it's awesome. Anyone who thinks the previous generation was better is either dumb or trying to kid themselves, usually because they can't afford the new car. Probably haven't driven one as well.

@@mrmorrisniceguy987 I understand what you mean and you're right. However, the predecessors were already much more different from each other. It's just my opinion that I think the S3 should stand out a bit more visually from a base model. That's how it was in the past.

The rear bumper is hideous to me. It looked better before the restyling in general, but it's great that it features mechanical upgrades! 😃

wie immer geiles Video😁 sehr gute Zeit 100-200 für stock. Ich denke er hat locker real 350Ps und 450Nm. Könnte ich anhand der Gps Intervalle und des Fahrzeug und Fahrergewichts berechnen.

Somethings up? My NON tuned 2023 S3 does 0-60 typical 4.4-4.2? However the intercooler does heat up a lot on stops. I was at Mosport this weekend, with data logging, and was surprised just how much. BTW, a 23 S3 with just rear bar added, is very sweet on track, even without the new / Golf R diff. I really don't understand why people say it understeer's really bad, mine is very neutral now and would likely oversteer if I chambered front. Maybe cause I don't have the active suspension where all press cars do?

Sounds X100 times better than my F40 M135i

I'll hang on to my Cupra Leon 300, Great Car.

I reckon (and I have no fact to base this on) that Audi have to nerf the S3 a bit because of the RS3 - especially 0 to 60 which is what most people look at. Where the Golf R doesn't have that constraint.

⁠@@dominikarpas7558 it’s just fake vents everywhere like all audi’s. I don’t call that a good design

The rear diffuser just looks so nasty and cheap, a very poor facelift indeed, and a complete mistake of losing premium B&O sound system in favour of Sonos, the Alcantara door trim with added slashes and back light has just sent this car into cheap and tacky, although with a hefty price tag

Audi back at it again with the over-styling 😮‍💨 The 8V was the best looking imo, I'd even argue that the 8V pre-facelift looks better than this face-lift.

very heavy

It was .3 0f a second quicker than the Golf R20 years but that was on winter tyres so I'd guess the R20 would have been quicker than the S3 if it was running summer tyres . Also the S3 hit 60 in 4.7 where the R20 hit 60 in 4.4

The standard Golf R will have 333hp but the peeformance version definitely will have more i suggest 350. Lets see. Because Golf R actualy existed in two wariants in latest time after 333 version. One was standard with 320hp and peeformance with 333hp just like 20th edition and 333edition. Now they say standard Golf R facelift will get 333hp and nobody say anything about performance version. 100% it will have more power because they want to separate it from standard one and offcourse from S3. Bear in mind its 50th anvrs. So something like 350 is i thing for performance Golf R. ​@@Automann-TV
