Orange Audi A3 Convertible | Orange is the New Black

An Orange Audi A3 convertible for the summer vibes! If you are living in the UK, this post will not make any sense to you at all, as in 2015 there was no summer. However, Audi is very keen on cheering you up with the orange coloured A3. Definitely orange is the new black!

Usually the German car manufacturer is not very happy painting their cars with extraordinary colours beyond black, grey, white, navy and black. Having the experience of spotting an Audi A3 with orange paint was something really exciting.

The fashionable colour of the A3 not only makes it more exciting, but also motivates buying or talking about the car! Honestly, if this was in a navy colour or dark grey, I wouldn’t be blogging it!

Where is this car? Currently present at Audi City dealer in Mayfair, London.

Facts and Photos of Audi RS3 from Mayfair, London

The Audi RS3. It is finally here. More precisely it is at the Audi Mayfair branch! As we all expected, the RS model of the Audi A3 arrived a bit late to compete with the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. But it was worth the wait, definitely a better car. You might be wondering, to what extent is the RS3 better than the A45 AMG?

I won’t be talking about how the RS3 drives better than the A45 AMG or vice-versa. Both of them are front-biased all-wheel drive cars and when you push them, both of these cars will have a tendency to under-steer. However, the difference with regard to the RS3 is in the interior build quality.

As many car manufacturers admit, Audi has the best interior production quality. Basically, Audi’s interior looks amazing, and you experience a premium feeling. And the story is the same with the RS3, in that it offers a great interior that will exceed your expectations.

In addition, the RS3 offers pre-crash systems and the other driving assistance systems that are available in other Audi models. Whilst enjoying the powerful 370 HP engine, Audi will do its best to keep you out of any trouble. Moreover, I cannot ignore the legendary all-wheel drive system Quattro. An Audi without Quattro is not a real Audi as far as I am concerned, and the RS3 offers a dynamic rear-differential to reduce the front-biased drive train.

Lastly, the RS3 looks amazing! And it is not extremely expensive to own. It is still more expensive than many other cars, but the RS3 offers 367 HP and 465 Nm from 2.5-lt 5-cylinder petrol engine, 7-speed DSG and Quattro! Also, RS3 offers LED headlight as well! Only needs 4.3 seconds to reach 100km/h and top speed is 250 km/h but you can upgrade it to 280 km/h!

Audi S3 Convertible Review?

Audi S3 convertible time! If you are lucky, the sun may just have started to shine in your area. That’s the case in England at the moment; the spring sun has emerged and some folks are preparing to buy convertible cars. I know this sounds uncharacteristically optimistic but the UK has the highest demand for convertibles, even though there is no sun for 95% of the year!

So, here is the cure for the common convertible – the Audi S3 convertible. I had the chance to take some photos of this car at a Mayfair dealership in London. It is now the second most powerful Audi A3 after the RS3. However, this does not change the fact that the Audi S3 is really really fast. And when you consider its size and Quattro all-wheel drive system, the S3 will be an epic ride.

However, never forget that the Quattro always hinders the understeer effect due to its character. Based on what I’ve heard from people who have driven the S3; if you push hard, the S3 has a tendency to understeer. What’s the problem? Understeering is something that you really don’t need in a car when you push hard on the corner. What to expect? Oversteering, that’s better!

The Audi S3 is powered by a 2-lt TFSI petrol engine with 300 HP and 380 nm of torque. It only needs 5.4 seconds to reach 100 km/h with a top speed of 250 km/h. As expected, the S3 is coupled with a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox. Just right for that sunny weekend in the country.

New Audi A3 Sedan: New Audi A4 Competitor?

Audi A3 Sedan, everyone was expecting to see a sedan version of the Audi A3. A3 is the leader of the luxury hatchback market. Even the presence of Mercedes A-Class or the BMW 1-Series could not manage to take the place of the Audi A3. Literally, if you want a luxury hatchback you first consider the Audi A3. However, until this time people were stuck with the Audi A3 hatchback or jump to Volkswagen Jetta. However, Jetta is not at the same level with the Audi A3.
The Audi A3 offers new standards to market such as; Bang & Olufsen sound system and leather upholstery are some of the improvements for the competition. 
A3 is powered by these engines: 1,4 TFSI 4-cylinder petrol engine with 140 HP / 250 Nm of torque; 8,4 seconds to reach 100 km/h and top speed of 213 km/h. 1,8 TFSI 4-cylinder petrol engine with 180 HP / 250 Nm of torque; 7,3 seconds to reach 100 km/kh and 235 km/h top speed. And the diesel is; 2-lt TDI four-cylinder with 150 HP / 320 Nm of torque. 8,7 seconds are enough to reach 100 km/h and top speed is 220 km/h.
Lastly, if Audi does not improve the interior space of the upcoming Audi A4; A3 Sedan may catch some of the customers from the A4. Because, A3 Sedan looks quite similar to A4 and if the legroom and interior is not that different, you may see some customers shifting from A4 to A3 Sedan.
Also, I really wonder who is going to order Bang & Olufsen in an A3. This option is way too expensive!
