The performance model of Audi's MQB platform-based compact hatchback is lighter and more powerful than the model it replaces. It is scheduled to go on sale in Europe early next year with a starting price of €38,900 (US$50,500) in Germany. At the heart of the car lies a newly developed 2.0-liter TFSI direct-injection and turbocharged gasoline engine that belongs to the EA888 engine family. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cx_gcBCB_fA/UFugVJsBBEI/AAAAAAAJKns/AIJtb-AYnF8/s1600/2013-Audi-S3-28.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cx_gcBCB_fA/UFugVJsBBEI/AAAAAAAJKns/AIJtb-AYnF8/s200/2013-Audi-S3-28.jpg" width="130" /></a>The new powerplant weighs around five kilograms (11 pounds) less than the previous EA113 2.0 TFSI and is also much more powerful delivering 296Hp (300PS) at 5,500 rpm and 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft) of torque between 1,800 and 5,500 rpm, an increase of 35Hp and 30Nm respectively.

New Audi A3 Sportback Grows in Size, Shrinks in Weight [50 Photos and Video]

The 2013 A3 Sportback is the more practical and versatile five-door version of Audi's premium compact model. The evolutionary (according to Audi, stale according to others) styling language of the A3 can be found on the Sportback variant as well, with the five-door variant employing the use of three side windows and a sloping tailgate design. For a sportier look, buyers will be able to opt for Audi's S-Line package that adds different bumpers, spoilers and larger alloy wheels. While the car's exterior dimensions at 4,310mm (169.7 inches) long, 1,780mm (70.1 inches) and 1,425mm (56.1 inches) tall are only slightly greater than on the previous Sportback, the new model now rides on a 2,636 millimeters (103.8 inches), an increase of 58 millimeters (2.28 in). <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QcAr9u1XDZY/UFpSABaaHXI/AAAAAAAJJWc/PgDdczaUEx0/s1600/2013-Audi-A3-Sportback-3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="101" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5790030431270870386" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QcAr9u1XDZY/UFpSABaaHXI/AAAAAAAJJWc/PgDdczaUEx0/s200/2013-Audi-A3-Sportback-3.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); cursor: pointer; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" width="145" /></a>The five-door model is also 35 millimeters (1.38 in) longer between the axles than <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-2013-audi-a3-makes-its-official.html">the three-door version</a>, resulting in an increase in rear passenger legroom. The luggage compartment offers 380 liters (13.42 cu ft) of space in the basic configuration and can be expanded to 1,220 liters (43.08 cu ft) with the rear seats (60:40 split) folded down. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/new-audi-a3-sportback-grows-in-size.html#more">Read more »</a>

The prototype would have gone by unnoticed if weren't for the S3's trademark quad tail pipes at the back. The production model that will follow next year will also sport a different front bumper with larger air-inlets and a chrome-trimmed grille along with a rear diffuser and bespoke alloy rims shod in wider wheels. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DVe3DSote-c/T5horXaV_WI/AAAAAAAHeR4/bQ8tjYjHCA4/s1600/2013-Audi-S3-13.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5735449219684498786" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DVe3DSote-c/T5horXaV_WI/AAAAAAAHeR4/bQ8tjYjHCA4/s200/2013-Audi-S3-13.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 116px; height: 78px;"></a>The current Audi S3 is powered by a 2.0-liter TFSI delivering 262hp (265PS) and 350Nm. We hear that the next iteration of Ingolstadt's hot hatch features a new 2.0-liter force-fed four generating around 280-horses. Naturally, the S3 is equipped with Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system while transmission options will include a six-speed manual and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/04/spy-shots-next-audi-s3-prototype-tries.html#more">Read more »</a>

Of course, we already know everything there is to know about the third generation of the A3 thanks to Audi revealing full details of its brand-new premium C-segment model yesterday. To <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-2013-audi-a3-makes-its-official.html">refresh your memory</a>, the new A3 is the first model to be based on the modular (and cost-saving) <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/02/this-is-new-volkswagen-golf-mk7-mqb.html">MQB platform</a>. It sports the same length and height as the car it replaces, but is 12mm wider and has a 23mm longer wheelbase. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/2013-audi-a3-is-newer-than-it-looks.html#more">Read more »</a>

Just like the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/08/its-official-porsche-finally-unveils.html">991</a>, at a first glance, it doesn't look radically different from its predecessor, yet it is a completely new design with different proportions. In much the same way, the third generation of Ingolstadt’s premium three-door hatchback looks familiar, but is actually an all-new design inside and out. At 4,237mm long, 1,421mm tall and 1,777mm wide, the new A3 has about the same height and length as its predecessor but is 12mm wider and rides on a 23mm longer wheelbase that measures 2,601mm. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-2013-audi-a3-makes-its-official.html#more">Read more »</a>
