Audi is working on a brand new S3 for launch in late 2012 and we've got a new video of a prototype for the upcoming hatchback version--a sedan is expected too--as it was running some test miles in the hot Californian sun.
Front end looks exactly like the new A1 - that's a gasoline engine for sure. Probably the 2.0T but Audi has a bunch of other engines they use in the market outside the USA. The A3 will come out way before the S3 (at least a year) - A3 is due for a complete overhaul, and this is it. Most likely will look like a larger A1.
@toledo64fx And if you had looked at a reply I made earlier on here you would know I know that and was joking. As I said I worked in the car industry, for many years in fact for Ford and Renault.
@MsJannieD It's Audi who started it, and all the others copied

An awful lot of new vehicles seem to be getting this "gaping" front treatment....I like it!
