Audi S3 Vorsprung

The facelifted 8Y Audi S3 brings the rear-axle torque splitter first seen on the RS 3, which can send drive to either rear wheel to sharpen turn-in and traction. Allied to a 328 bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre, quattro four-wheel drive and a seven-speed S tronic gearbox, it is a quick and usable compact saloon, with a claimed 0-62 mph time of around 4.7 seconds.

This car is a Vorsprung, the top trim, finished in District Green Metallic over black and Rock Grey Nappa leather. Options include the panoramic glass roof, carbon fibre mirror housings, the Black Styling Package Plus, S sport suspension and 19-inch Audi Sport wheels in anthracite with red brake calipers.

It has covered 13,222 miles and is right-hand drive. Equipment includes Matrix LED headlights, a head-up display, a Sonos sound system, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera setup.
