Audi S3 Sedan 2013

Impressive power and groundbreaking efficiency: The Audi S3 Sedan sets new standards. Its 2.0 TFSI is a high-output engine, producing 221 kW (300 hp) and 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft) of torque, yet consumes on average with S tronic just 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (34.09 US mpg). The uncompromising chassis and systematic lightweight construction underscore the dynamic character of the four-door model.

The heart of the Audi S3 Sedan is the engine, the 2.0 TFSI with turbocharging and direct injection. Its predecessor was named "International Engine of the Year" in its class five times in a row, and the new 2.0 TFSI boasts even more impressive figures. Its peak output of 221 kW (300 hp) is available between 5,500 and 6,200 rpm. It delivers a 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft) of torque to the crankshaft between 1,800 and 5,500 rpm.

Paired with the S tronic, the two-liter engine accelerates the S3 Sedan from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 4.9 seconds on its way to an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph). In the NEDC, the four-door sedan with S tronic consumes just 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (34.09 US mpg) on average - a CO2 equivalent of 159 grams per kilometer (255.89 g/mile).

The 2.0 TFSI is a fascinating sport engine and its resonant sound makes for an intensive experience. When the standard Audi drive select dynamics system is in dynamic mode, it responds even more directly to accelerator commands, with brief double-clutching underscoring the change of gears by the optional S tronic. The sound flaps in the exhaust system open at higher load and rpm. Two balance shafts ensure tremendous smoothness.
