It has been long since Audi unveiled a small sporty sedan that is small on size but big on performance. All that, and more has been changed with the arrival of the new Audi S3 sedan which was showcased along with the A3 sedan at the New York Auto Show. The S3 sedan is all set to get launched in Western Europe in December this year after the A3 sedan in September.

The S3 sedan boasts of a powerful 2.0L TFSI engine that produces a hearty 300PS of power and 380Nm of torque. The S3 sedan comes equipped with a Quattro all wheel drive and a six speed S-tronic transmission which shoves it from zero to 100kmph in 4.7 seconds. Adding up these power figures with the compactness of the S3 sedan means truck loads of fun, on both the road and the race track. The only thing that the S3 sedan shares with the S3 sportback is the chassis as all the other exterior panels are different from the hatchback so as to increase the track width to broaden the stance of the sedan. The car also comes with optional 19 inch wheels while the S-line sport chassis lowers the car by an inch on stiffer springs, bringing out a leaner, sportier stance.
