Well our S3 8V sedan was a 2016 MY, so that’s 8 years ago with totally different regulations. But I agree, that sounded sweet😍🥹

Yes, if you drive in comfort mode;)

in this engine - gen 4 if you change intercooler -1k + downpipe 800 + turbo garret powermax - 2k - you get 500+ hp :)

wtf bro of course that it wasnt going to be faster than a rs3....

don't worry, people will find a way to upgrade hp with modified software

I m not worry/ sad, because i dont have it 😂 i have older version and i now modding it 😎 RS version Will be sad 😂

Yeah, agree this probably is the case. The S3 still runs very well 100-200 km/h😁💪

Ice engines are ending. They could buff the rs3 to 450hp and the s3 to 350

Solange die Klappen gesetzlich bis ~ 3000 RPM geschlossen sein müssen, kann man sonst was darunter bauen, kein Unterschied!

Nothing official yet🤔

probably in late summer / autumn

@@misterx6529 I do hope so

Wtf what is the point of this comment??

@@Bat02051 More like what's the point of YOURS? Many people ask about fitment of tow bar to RS3. I have an 8Y RS3 and did look into it, handy I could use it for towing the fishing boat, instead of using the truck. Get it? Now off you go.

I think 266 km/h is the max…..should be limited there. The Golf with the same engine runs 290 km/h on speedo, so there’s more in it, you’re right👍

@@Automann-TV oh, nice :) So my next car could be Golf R mk8 (in next 4-5 years from bazaar. Now I have fun with Megane IV GT (light tweaked on 232 HP and 330 Nm), but it can go ride quicker than 240 kph on autobahn 😞

Honestly I don’t know😅

Yep, you have faster shifting and response when you are on the go. In launch control mode you never feel that but in dynamic plus mode it’s definitely there👌

The I30N is just annoyingly loud, which you people compare to "sportiness". VW cars will never scream and shout from factory. I think the S3 has a nice, mature sound. The I30N is a good car for young people. The S3 costs almost twice as much.

Do not forget that this is a MY2025 car and they will stop building the i30N this year, no successor. So again, those are different regulations they are coping with….and as @t3chn0m0 said, two different customer target groups😉

It's not an Audi, so who cares.

I guess this new facelifted S3 isn’t in the configurator yet!? If it comes up this should be an factory option from Audi.

@@Automann-TV It is indeed.

@@Automann-TV It is configurably in germany. "Performance-Abgasanlage, Endschalldämpfer Titan ", Code "0P9", 4.180,00 EUR

Moin😁. Noch nichts offizielles aber ich gehe davon aus, dass der Golf R Facelift ebenfalls bei den 333 PS landet.

@@Automann-TV hmm schade , er hat ja normalerweise immer so ein wenig mehr PS als der s3 gehabt , vll kommt ja noch ne Performance Variante oder ein Sondermodell. Danke dir Lg

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
