It looks like the entry-level luxury game just got far more interesting. That's because we know it's bringing the Audi S3 sedan to the U.S. and if first impressions of it going hard around the Nürburgring are any indication, it's going to be unbelievably quick.
As this clip was sourced from TouriClips, we've seen A LOT of vehicles run the same exact areas of the track and it's clear as day — as someone who watches too much of this footage — that this S3 is MOVING. But here's the key: it's not a sloppy handler. Sure you'll see it's ass-end pivot around a touch but for the most part it's a very composed vehicle.
There's just a bit of the infamous understeer screeching of the tires. If that doesn't bother you too much, then you've got to scope out the video of this car haulin' around Germany's most famous track.
Let us know what you think of the all-new S3's performance, below!
Audi was seen testing an S3 Sedan on the Nürburgring in the week of 22-25 July 2014. No idea what they might be testing, but the S3 looked pretty composed on the Nordschleife that’s for sure.
