I was behind one of these the other day, and easily kept with him................mind you, we were in a 30 limit:

Seriously, it looked like a smaller Audi,, not the TT, but the only badges were the ones I've put up as the title, and he turned off before I did.

Anyone any idea what it might have been?

New A3 or a converted A2?

 

The only Audi's with the 3.2 engine in them at the mo are the A3 - hatchback and Sportback, and the TT.

The new A6 and A8 also have it but they're not really small cars!

 

Had a look on the Audi website, it was an A3.

Good top speed, but only 7 seconds to 60?
And "only" 250bhp from 3.2 litres?

BMW's 3.0 makes 231hp so the Audi is about right at 250. The 3.2 A3 is not aimed as a sporty model. Theres a new S3 on the way to fill that hole in the market

The 3.2 in the new A4 & A6 is a different engine of the same capacity.

 

the 3.2 V6 isnt that quick. Its very refined and a bit bouncy.

 

But isn't an M3 only 3.2 litres with about 321bhp?

What got me was that it looked smaller than my Scoob, has 250bhp as standard, but is about 1.5 seconds slower to 60 than a UK classic.

What must it weigh?

Audi site quotes 6.5 0-62 Evo quotes 6.2 0-60 - top speed is 162mph with the limiter removed.

 

That's the Audi site I went on, and it quoted 7 seconds for that and for the 3.2 engined TT.

A collegue has a 3.2 in black. Looks lovely and he's thrilled with it You just plant your foot in any gear and away it goes. His is the manual, not the DSG which is slower to 60 IIRC.
