The very first S3 Cabriolet four-seater has arrived in Australia, priced at $69,300. With S tronic, the open-top four-seater accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. The top speed of 250 km/h is limited electronically.
The Cabriolet is powered by a 2.0 TFSI four-cylinder engine that develops a total of 210kW and 380Nm. Acceleration performance is extraordinary in this segment, reaching 100km/h from rest in just 5.5 seconds. Fuel efficiency is also outstanding, at just 7.1 litres per 100km.
The six-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission is standard on the S3 Cabriolet, while Audi’s magnetic ride variable damper system is also available as an option.
In the S3 Cabriolet, a new active rollover protection system protects occupants in the event of a rollover. All variants of the new Audi A3 have been awarded the maximum 5-star ANCAP safety rating.
“We are delighted to offer an entirely new S3 model in the compact Cabriolet segment, catering to a very different customer than we have been able to satisfy before,” says Andrew Doyle, managing director at Audi Australia.
“Not only is the new A3 Cabriolet the first convertible available with Audi’s renowned quattro all-wheel-drive technology, we are now adding an S3 Cabriolet as an addition to this aspirational segment of the market.”
