Audi A3 Clubsport VS. M3/4

[mPlasticDesign]

".....Audi has built something special to reward its fans."


- "......525bhp and a whopping torque figure of 443lb ft."
- ".....0-62mph takes just 3.6 seconds....and it'll top out at 193mph!"
- "....boasting nearly as much horsepower as the R8 V10"

I do like the E30 M3 style fenders, but I still wouldn't be interested in this car probably.

We will see if it actually makes it to production....

They've been talking about this for over 6 years

Hopefully this will replace my winter/daily beater(Evo X MR) when it will come out as an RS3!!

I think you're mixing up the A3 Clubsport and the Quattro Concept, the Clubsport is essentially a concept of the next RS3, a car that's been out in Europe for a while now!

I'll get excited if it makes its way to the US.

Sounds awesome. Like a lower revving Gallardo or R8 V10.

Pretty sweet ride.

Yeah, as-is--fat chance... Very cool car, though!

[Ezio]

a 5 clyinder engine doesnt sound appealing to me.

[MPowerZ32]

The brake light under the rear spoiler is trick!

I like it. Wonder if they do put it into production, would it look anything like the pictures.
They always use aggressive styling with concepts, then take them all away for the production models.

Could they have made the front grill bigger??

It's for the vortex that thing creates.

Now this is a sound!!!

Looks a little ricy in the photos but I hope the M2 comes close to this.

Come close? No chance, the M4 doesn't even come close, so highly doubtful the M2 will even be in the same neighborhood.

I'd drive this if it was exactly this configuration.. Maybe give me a 6spd manual instead

This is just a one off concept...its amazing, but it will never come out. Audi isn't going to make the RS3 or S3 faster than every s car in their lineup and the R8. There is no reason to even compare this car to real cars coming out.

I just saw the m235 does 0-60 in 4.3 sec and 1/4 in 12.9....i still am scratching my head on the m2. I don't see room for it performance wise between the m3/m4 and the m235, unless it will just be a mild 30 hp software bump on the m2 and better brakes, body, suspension.

I'm sure the new M3/M4 is a high 11s car so there should be plenty of room for the M2 to fit between them and the M235i!
