Audi launched its first generation S3 Sportback model in 2008.
This car was introduced to the large public at the same time with the S3 facelift and features a 5-door body configuration and plenty of new exterior changes as compared to the initial S3. Front and rear fascias were slightly redeveloped - as this model was practically a 5-door version of the new S3 - while the car was equipped with a 2.0 TFSI unit delivering a massive 265 hp and a new 6-speed S tronic transmission. Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system is also a standard feature for this model, as also the sport seats, anti-theft alarm or deluxe automatic air conditioning.
