Car magazine brings us a new selection of spy shots for the upcoming third-generation Audi A3. We’re likely to get a full reveal of the A3 at Geneva in March this year. We already have a pretty good idea of what to expect on the inside.
It’s believed the new MQB platform is as much as 20% more cost effective to build on. Handy cost savings when you consider that Volkswagen Group aims to manufacture a couple of million units a year on this platform, including models like the A3 and Golf VII.
The twin pipes on this test mule could indicate this is a new S3, which is expected to give 300hp a serious nudge from its 2.0 litre turbo four. That’s around 13% more power than currently offered in the 8P S3.

They look like GTI wheels to me.
Yep they are. And they should have been canned well before the Mk6 Golf was released. If I see them on the Mk7 I think I will give up on AUSmotive, haha!
Ugliest wheels ever.
Correct!!!
Well I will be more then happy to take over Ausmotive 🙂
If they are on a test mule the odds are it will be on the MK7 GTI!
