In August 2006, Audi introduced the second generation S3. Offered in three- and five-door body styles, the second generation\u2014Typ 8P\u2014S3 is powered by a modified and uprated Volkswagen Group-sourced 2.0-litre turbocharged FSI petrol engine, with a maximum output of 195 kW (265 PS; 261 bhp). As with all Audi S models, the design was done in-house by quattro GmbH. The engine features uprated high-performance pistons, revised boost\/fuel mapping, increased turbocharger size (KKK K04) and larger intercooler. The most powerful form of this engine, and quattro four-wheel drive, makes for a 0\u2013100 km\/h (0\u201362 mph) time of 5.5 seconds, and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km\/h (155 mph). Audi offers both six-speed manual and six-speed S-Tronic automatic transmissions with the S3.<\/p>\n
The spring ratings and dampers were revised, along with the body kit. Like its predecessor, although badged a “Quattro” model, the S3 does not employ a Torsen centre differential (as in other common Quattro models), but instead uses the Swedish Haldex Traction system in its on-demand four-wheel drive transmission, due to the transverse engine layout.<\/p>\n
2008 facelift
\nAudi introduced a number of changes to the A3 and S3 in 2008. These include revised nose and tail styling, with a modified grille and daytime running lights, common rail 2.0 TDI engines, seven-speed S tronic dual clutch transmission availability for the smaller non-U.S. engines, and optional “magnetic ride” adaptive shock absorbers. In addition, the range now includes an S3 Sportback model.<\/p>\n
Also, a cabriolet version was introduced. It was similar in dimensions to the 3-door version, with a two-box design.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26315,"template":"","vehica_23442":[2480],"vehica_6659":[2502],"vehica_6660":[2619],"vehica_6655":[2344],"vehica_23443":[2504],"vehica_23545":[2507],"vehica_6670":[2483,2484],"vehica_23445":[2556],"vehica_23531":[2497],"class_list":["post-26314","vehica_car","type-vehica_car","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","vehica_23442-assetto-corsa","vehica_6659-audi","vehica_6660-s3","vehica_6655-hatchback","vehica_23443-integral-awd","vehica_23545-automatico","vehica_6670-abs","vehica_6670-controle-de-tracao","vehica_23445-101creative","vehica_23531-street"],"acf":[],"vehica_14696":"2008","vehica_23444":"261","vehica_23446":"350","vehica_23447":"1575","vehica_23448":"6.03","vehica_23449":"4.5","vehica_23534":"1.0","vehica_23455":"6","vehica_23456":["https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/preview-59.jpg"],"vehica_28233":"","vehica_28602":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cars\/26314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cars"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vehica_car"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"vehica_23442","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23442?post=26314"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6659","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6659?post=26314"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6660","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6660?post=26314"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6655","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6655?post=26314"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23443","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23443?post=26314"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23545","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23545?post=26314"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6670","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6670?post=26314"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23445","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23445?post=26314"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23531","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23531?post=26314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
