2020 Audi S3: hot hatch and saloon spotted undisguised

Trouble is as well, with all these opf filters all sports cars coming out from now on will sound like a 1.0 micra. Completely ruins the experience of owning one for me.

It was the best looking out of the 3 variants.

The saloon was missing the fake vent at the side of the front bumper which always baffled me - personally I think its a nice touch and looks less "ultra" or "SE" which is why the saloon never appealed to me

Nope,well ok maybe but the rear arches totally ruin it imo .

Haha you’re 100% right

Your m4 is crap anyway ,I just never had the heart to tell you .

If they had of sorted out the arches and give it a more aggressive look it would have been perfect, I think the car proportionally was spot on, much better than the S4.

I really like the S4, looking at buying one as the next car (pre-facelift petrol)

Was that not the same for all s3 facelift? They got a revised front bumper?

First video I could find but have a listen to it in the first 60s - not bad for a car with a GPF...

Not 100% sure about the saloon but in general the main exterior changes for the FL where:

• Front lights
• Front Bumper and Grill
• Wheels
• Rear Lights
• Rear Diffuser

S3 saloon has slightly wider front arches also than hatch & sportback? So not even a case sticking a hatch front bumper on a saloon

More I look at the saloons more I think they have potential apart from the stupid inset arches why o why did audi do it
