    The fastest S3 of all anyone?

    Just saw this on ebay an RS4 engined S3!

    If I had to have an S3 then I think this would be it!

    Not sure I'm a fan of the bumpers but they aren't the worst I've ever seen. You'd surprise a few people with it I'm sure.

    Wow i would love to have that for the wife as she is looking for an S3, but alas the coupe is eating all my money and now she thinks she is a boat as it's full of water

      Thats baffling! A LOT of work has gone into that....
      They've converted a transverse engined R4T to a longitudinal V6TT. Surely it must be rear drive only?? How the hell would you power the front axle from an engine in that position??

            It does, and ive looked further at the photos and maybe it is possible for it to be 4wd. But it looks damn tight!!

              no cage, no suit, no chute. t-shirt, shorts, helmet. how they roll in Greece.

                  Looks nice for an A3 and I'm sure it'll shift, 4wd or rwd

                      Pretty crazy stuff! The tune to race boys are mad, sure you have seen him draging out on the street like that with no seatbelt on come along way in the last 2 years getting another 200+hp from that r32
