The tuners from MTM have been some of the first to launch a tuning program for the car that is confirmed on the U.S market in 2012. The German specialists just unveiled their initial package that includes a few improvements. First, the styling upgrades consist of a 19 or 21-inch wheel kit, 20 mm spacers for a wider stance, and an aftermarket exhaust with throttle valves. The Audi RS5 performance figures weren’t raised, however the tuning company removed the cars speed limiter. But the price to have this done is a little too much.

Audi is defining a new segment in the premium compact class. The A3 Sportback is characterised by the sporting elegance of a coupé and the versatility of a 5-door. The Audi Sportback is deliberately going its own, new way in the compact class. It offers the emphatically sporty qualities and the athletic styling of the three-door version with which it shares its drive train, dynamic suspension and wheelbase. In addition to two rear doors, it offers even more space and variability thanks to its rear end which is a total of 68 millimetres longer than on its threedoor counterpart.
The A3 Sportback is immediately recognisable at first glance in the rear-view mirror by its striking single-frame radiator grille, the distinctive tapering of the sides and the dynamic shape of the clearglass headlights. The silhouette of the A3 Sportback when viewed from the side becomes flatter towards the rear of the car in typical coupé fashion and combines with the gently rearward sloping roof line and the restyled rear end to give the car its dynamic overall proportions. Audi A3 Sportback Excellence in design & performance.
Audi is the first car company in the U.S. to sell 100 percent of its gasoline engines with FSI direct injection technology beginning with model year 2010. In 2000, Audi began racing with FSI direct injection technology in the R8 FSI prototype race car at Le Mans and the American Le Mans Series. Since this technology first became available for U.S. consumers in late 2004 with the introduction of the 2005 A6 3.2 FSI, the list of Audi vehicles with FSI direct injection technology has continued to grow.

The Audi A3 created an entirely new premium compact car segment when the first-generation model debuted globally in 1996, and the car has enjoyed tremendous success since it arrived in the U.S. in 2005. By 2009, Audi had sold more than 1.9 million A3s worldwide, and that number continues to swell today. The combination of quality, craftsmanship and efficiency continues to make the A3 a leader in its segment. The 2010 Audi A3 retains many of the same attractive style elements introduced in 2009. The leaning hood and fenders are expressively styled, and the bumper keeps its large, easily identifiable single-frame radiator grille. Audi DNA is apparent from front to rear, thanks to a steeply raked windscreen and forward leaning roofline. For the first time, Premium Plus models come equipped with Audi xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights as standard equipment. The 2010 Audi A3 also will be available with new wheel choices for an upgraded appearance.

The 2010 Audi A3 can be had with one of two technologically advanced engines. The first is a 2.0 TFSI gasoline engine with 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque. The engine uses a cast iron block and a lightweight aluminum cylinder head along with a raft of Audi technology to increase efficiency and power. Intercooled turbocharging, FSI fuel injection and throttle by wire combine to achieve up to 21 mpg city and 30 mpg highway in front-wheel drive configuration. New for 2010, a 2.0 TDI clean diesel delivers 140 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. While the power and torque figures are impressive, the real TDI story revolves around fuel economy and emissions. The 2.0 TDI can yield 30 mpg in the city and an unmatched 42 mpg on the highway, while still maintaining a ULEV-II emissions rating. Audi A3 Review
New Audi S4 Those who adopt the 2010 Audi S4 would share powertrain with the S5 were incorrect. Instead, look for a brand new compressor 3.0-liter V-6, which will lead to anything up to 340 hp in the S4 is based on 4.2-liter V-8. Why is the Audi S4 is a V-8 V-6 and moved a BMW M3 to six, and the built V-8? In two words: fuel consumption. Audi’s strategy is comparable or better overall performance by toeing the line to give weight and stay in power through a forced introduction of smaller capacity. This increases fuel economy a manual transmission S4 European cycle of 23.3 mpg, compared to only 19.4 mpg for the V-8 S5.

It costs less than the car it replaces, is 27% more economical in the combined EU cycle, in form and appearance it is still quite socially acceptable in both sedan and wagon forms.
