That is one powerful S3 for sure. Weight wise it's around 200kg less from factory S3, that is a lot. Looks stunning by the way!

Another interesting fact packed video, thanks Alex... Cant wait to see it out on track next month. I know it may not be easy but it would be great to see a little footage of your S3 from the track side if you can persuade some one with you to point a camera at it!?!

Lovely looking car, sounds good too, (except for those DSG changes) but i still prefer the analog Evo. So , the Audi is around 200 kilos heavier , so you can only imagine how quick the Evo would be with similar power.
