....221 kW (300 PS) lassen den S3 in Verbindung mit dem Doppelkupplungsgetriebe S tronic und dem permanenten Allradantrieb quattro® in nur 5,1 Sekunden von 0 auf 100 km/h sprinten. Das Drehmoment von 380 Nm sorgt dabei für eine spontane Kraftentfaltung, der quattro Antrieb verteilt die Kraft des S3 auf alle vier Räder und bringt Ihnen so eine hohe Spurtreue sowie verbesserte Traktion.
Das 2.0 TFSI-Aggregat arbeitet mit dem Audi valvelift system, was Sie am unmittelbaren, agileren Ansprechen spüren. Der integrierte Abgaskrümmer spart Platz und hilft zudem, den Verbrauch zu reduzieren. So erfüllt der 2.0 TFSI-Motor im Audi S3 sogar die strengen Ansprüche der EU6-Abgasnorm.
Dynamik auf Knopfdruck: Über das serienmäßige Audi drive select® können Sie den Charakter Ihres S3 individuell anpassen. Und das optionale Audi magnetic ride stellt sich auf die jeweilige Fahrsituation ein – für noch mehr Dynamik oder eine komfortbetonte Sportlichkeit.

Die Stahlschalenbauweise des Audi S3 verbindet geringes Gewicht mit hoher Steifigkeit. Dabei wird am jeweils richtigen Ort genau die Materialart verwendet, die erforderlich ist, um die gewünschten Eigenschaften sicherzustellen. Der so entstehende Materialmix aus warm und kalt umgeformten Blechen und Profilen in der Karosserie lässt eine hochmoderne Leichtbaustruktur entstehen. Aber nicht nur ultrahochfeste Stähle, sondern auch leichtes Aluminium wird zur Reduzierung des Gewichts eingesetzt, zum Beispiel bei Anbauteilen wie Frontklappe und Kotflügeln. Die Aluminium-Komponenten an der Vorderachse sowie die Leichtmetallräder aus Aluminium reduzieren nicht nur das Gesamtgewicht, sondern auch die ungefederten Massen, was zusätzlich zu einer Steigerung von Agilität und Fahrkomfort führt.
Jede Leichtbaukomponente hat Auswirkungen auf weitere Bauteile, die in ihren Dimensionen ebenfalls verringert werden können. Im Audi S3 führen die leichte Karosserie und der leichtere Motor zu Sekundäreffekten im gesamten Fahrzeug. So konnte das Gewicht von vielen Teilen der Abgasanlage, im Fahrwerk und auch im Innenraum reduziert werden. Auf diese Weise wurden beim neuen S3 60 kg im Vergleich zum Vorgänger eingespart.
Ich will das Ding nicht über den grünen Klee loben, aber man muss sich auch
mal bewusst machen, dass dieser sportlicher Kompakte eine Performance zeigt,
die auf dem Level des ersten 911 Turbo liegt, der damit Mitte der 70er Maßstäbe
gesetzt hat.
Und zum GTI:

UND ENDLICH GIBT ES DEN GTI MIT MECHANISCHER SPERRE (VAQ) UND 17"-BREMSE !!!
Kommt mir vor als hätten mich die Jungs in WOB endlich erhört.
Press release:
New Golf GTI produces 217 HP in standard version and 227 HP with performance pack
Production version of seventh Golf GTI debuts with new progressive steering
......
One GTI, two power levels
217 HP and 227 HP. The concept of the next Golf GTI is powered by a further advanced engine from the EA888 series – a two-litre turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine with 162 kW / 217 HP. A new option: for the first time in the iconic sports car’s history, a performance pack will be available as a factory-installed option. In this version, the engine’s maximum power is boosted to 169 kW / 227 HP. Both GTI versions are equipped with a Stop/Start system as standard, they fulfil the EU-6 emissions standard that takes effect in 2014 and – with a 6-speed manual gearbox – they attain the same low DIN fuel consumption of 6.0 l/100 km (39.2 MPG) (CO2: 140 g/km). Compared to the previous model (155 kW / 210 PS), the combined fuel consumption of the new Golf GTI is therefore reduced by 1.3 litres per 100 km or 18 per cent. A 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) is available as an option for both power levels. The recognised high agility of the Golf GTI has been increased once again in the new model compared to the previous model – in two stages:
Stage 1 – standard GTI: The 217 HP base version now produces 7 HP more than the previous model. At the same time, its maximum torque was increased by an immense 70 Nm (52 lb-ft) to 350 Nm (258 lb-ft). This value in the new Golf GTI is exactly the same as that of the previous Golf R, which was powered by an engine from another TSI generation. Equipped in this way, the Golf GTI makes its appearance with impressive flexibility values: in fourth gear, the Golf GTI accelerates from 80 to 120 km/h (50 mph to 75 mph) in 5.0 seconds; in fifth gear it takes 6.0 seconds. Other data that must not be overlooked in a GTI: the new one accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 246 km/h (153 mph).
Stage 2 – Performance GTI: Those choosing a Golf GTI with the performance pack ignite the second stage. As mentioned, the car’s power is increased by 7 HP here, while its maximum torque is identical. The 227 HP of power enables a top speed of 250 km/h* (155 mph) and just 6.5 seconds for the sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph).
New front axle differential lock and progressive steering
The performance pack not only offers a plus in power, but also a plus in handling: instead of 16-inch brakes, the GTI is equipped with 17-inch brakes here (with GTI badges on the callipers) and a front axle differential lock (VAQ) that is also being offered for the first time in this form.
Front axle differential lock. The electronically controlled lock has a positive effect on active safety and driving dynamics, because it practically prevents the power-related understeer that can occur in powerful front-wheel drive cars. This makes handling precise, and has a stabilising effect in load-alteration induced oversteer. The reason: VAQ increases the power to the wheel on the outside of the curve, which also optimises the vehicle’s speed through bends. Traction is also improved when driving on loose and wet road surfaces and in turning situations.
Progressive steering. The new progressive steering system is celebrating a world premiere in the Golf GTI. It is a standard feature for both power levels. Thanks to this steering system, the driver can turn the car through a desired radius with fewer turns of the steering wheel. In other words, the driver does not need to reach over the wheel as often. That may sound simple, but it is revolutionary. The reason is that conventional steering systems work with a constant gear ratio. The new steering of the Golf GTI, meanwhile, operates with a progressive steering gear ratio. This noticeably reduces steering work when manoeuvring and parking. On country roads with lots of bends, and when making turns, the driver experiences a benefit in dynamics due to the more direct layout.
Technically, progressive steering differs from the basic steering system due to the rack and pinion’s variable tooth spacing and a more powerful electric motor. Its functional difference: unlike with constant steering ratios, which by necessity always represent a compromise between dynamic performance and comfort, here the steering rack’s toothing is significantly modified by the steering stroke. As a result, the transition between indirect steering behaviour in the mid-range (straight-line driving) and direct steering behaviour at larger steering wheel angles is designed to be progressive, which, as mentioned above, enables significantly more agile steering behaviour in dynamic driving situations. This results in smaller steering input angles when parking for greater convenience and comfort.
Variable ratios have long been known in the area of hydraulic steering systems; however, the tuning of such a steering system is subject to very tight limits, so that the driver is not overtaxed by the transitional behaviour. With the Golf GTI’s progressive steering system the situation is completely different: the combination of the steering rack’s progressive steering ratio and the tuning potential of an electro-mechanical steering system is systematically exploited in the GTI to realise optimised steering behaviour that is sporty yet practical in everyday driving. In all other Golf cars, progressive steering is offered as an optional feature.
