I assume this engine has been re-developed since its release on the mk6 gti? Or is this a different engine completley? Would I be correct in saying this engine also has the timing belt replaced with a chain? What are the benefits of this, longevity?

Are we likely to see a de-tuned version in the mk7 gti? Really looking forward to the mk7 gti, I hope it's not a dissapointment...

The quad pipes are a bit of an overkill!!
I'm the 1st one to say that the pipes on mine are really understated.
I think the new S3 should have had a MK6 GTi pipe setup, but larger diameter pipes, and the new RS3 should get the quad pipes.  Just my opinion  :innocent:

Im not a fan, maybe it will look better in the metal.

Another one for not a fan of the quads. Minus them it all looks a bit too 'normalish' too understated.

I love everything about that interior except the vents.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Flat bottom steering wheels have always been standard on the 8P S3 in the UK. I can't imagine this will be any different.

I've read on a few places, including Pistonheads, that it's optional. Don't know how accurate that is mind.

EDIT

It sort of says it in the press release too - http://m.autoblog.com/2012/09/21/audi-shows-third-gen-s3/

Considering that they don't even have UK prices yet and are basing all their information on the European car you can't draw too many conclusions. Amongst other things the Euro 8P had different alloy wheel choices, colour choices and could be had with a fabric interior and standard steering wheel so making assumptions based on the Euro spec car when it hasn't even been released would be doubly pointless.

Yeah, I know what you're saying (and agree), but that's the information on the Audi UK website also. You can't blame them for quoting that.
