The Audi S3 Cabriolet is now on sale, priced from £38,910 as well as set to show up in the UK this September.
Revealed at the Geneva motor show in March, it features a 296bhp 2.0-litre petrol turbo, which drives all four wheels by means of a six-speed S tronic transmission.
0-62mph takes 5.4 seconds, somewhat down on other designs in the variety owing to a 200kg higher kerbweight. economic climate likewise takes a hit, dropping to a declared 38.8mpg compared to the equivalent S3 saloon’s 40.9mpg, while CO2 emissions are up 6g/km to 165g/km.
