About This Vehicle

Highlights 6 items

THIS… is a 2018 Audi S3, finished in Daytona Gray Pearl Effect with a Magma Red interior.

The attached `Carfax` vehicle history report shows no mileage discrepancies in this S3’s past.

According to the window sticker provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes the S Sport, Technology, and Black Optic Dynamic packages, a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, power-adjustable heated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Notable modifications reported by the seller include an APR Stage 2 ECU tune, an APR transmission tune, an APR downpipe, an AWE cat-back exhaust system, an APR carbon fiber air intake, a carbon fiber front splitter, a carbon fiber rear diffuser, H&R lowering springs, and 19-inch Vorsteiner wheels.

Audi positioned the first-generation A3 Sedan at the bottom of its American range for the 2015 model year, and it simultaneously released the S3 as a sportier alternative. Built on the versatile MQB platform, both models offered the luxury, sharp styling, and performance that Audi is known for in a package that was smaller and more affordable than the A4.

Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine, rated at 292 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque in stock form. Due to the modifications performed to this S3, it may produce more power, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed S Tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission and Audi's Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system.
