All the magazine article below said was: S3 had a 3.2 VR6 FSI with 280 HP and 330 Nm with either DSG or 6-Gang-Schaltgetriebe in connection with the quattro drive, which had a hydraulic multiple disk clutch and which distributes power to front or rear wheels. The 17" brake assembly is derived from the RS4 and the 18" alloys have 230/40 rubber.<ul><li><a href="http://cars.vage.ie/invision/index.php?s=7a5a40f2ef92665463cc234bb0330acf&amp;a ct=ST&amp;f=35&amp;t=1565&amp;st=0&amp;#entry10698 ">http://cars.vage.ie/invision/index.php?s=7a5a40f2ef92665463cc234bb0330acf&amp;a ct=ST&amp;f=35&amp;t=15

Is the picture at the bottom a photoshop job do you think, or is that the real thing?

I have no idea...grill treatment looks pretty real though...

Grill looks very fake, and very photoshop. The Door mirrors aswell. The bottom of the grill does not match the contours of the bumper. And compared to the curves on the car, the edges on the fake bits are too jagged.

I hope the S3 will look way more distinctive than the magazine pic!

Have to say i agree with Karcsi.
The sunlight/shadow balance on the mirrors isn't quite right I don't think.
Plus, the S3 badge on the grill would be a lot clearer and the red more visible in the level of light suggested by the glare on the bonnet. Think the grill is almost certainly in implant, there's a lot of shadow there.

Anyway.

Looks good, nice mean lookin' S3!
