2023 Audi S3 Black Edition Sportback

This 2023 Audi S3 Sportback arrives in Black Edition trim, finished in solid black over a specification that favours purposeful kerbside presence. Red brake calipers sit behind the signature alloys, while the Technology Pack Pro adds front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, premium audio, heated seats and wireless charging — collectively transforming the cabin into a considerably more equipped environment than the standard Black Edition allows.

Mechanically, this is the familiar EA888 2.0 TFSI producing 306 bhp and 400 lb/ft, channelled through the seven-speed S tronic and quattro all-wheel drive for a 0-62 mph time of 4.8 seconds and a limited 155 mph top end. At 15,653 miles from new, it is a well-preserved example of the 8Y-generation S3 — a model that remains one of the more convincing hot hatches for genuine all-weather pace, and one that has grown noticeably more scarce in desirable colour and spec combinations.
