Audi will be unleashing its 300PS S3 Sportback at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show. The new S3 has a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine which is good enough for 380Nm and races to 100kmph from standstill in only 5.0 seconds. That is when it is mated to the S-tronic box. With the 6-speed manual, the numbers increase to 5.5s. Audi says that despite all this performance, the S3 Sportback will still deliver a fuel efficiency of 14.49kmpl.

Not one to skimp on equipment, Audi will be offering the S3 Sportback with sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch wheels and most important of all, the Quattro all-wheel drive. Audi says that they have worked immensely on getting this car as skinny as possible with as much as 70kg of kerb weight shaved off from the outgoing model.

Audi S3 Sportback becomes the first car to offer a 4G mobile hotspot

The Audi S3 Sportback will be the first ever car to introduce on board 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) high speed data hotspot.

The 4G LTE facility allows you to stream big files, videos, audio and other data instantly. The S3 Sportback equipped with 4G LTE will have a provision for a SIM card in its MMI system. It establishes a network between occupants, internet and environment.

The car will act as a wireless hotspot and the occupants can use internet independently. For example, the passenger can participate in video conference while the driver can access tailor made Audi Connect services such as Google Earth and Google Street View, Audi Music, web radio and online traffic information.

The system also enables text-to-speech conversion of Facebook and Twitter posts and dictation function for emails and SMS. Audi say it would continue to offer more services via 4G LTE.

The technology is available in the Audi S3 Sportback now and will be extended to the rest of the A3 variants by the month of September.

The LTE network standard is already available in many European markets and the US. Integration of this wireless network standard to the car’s MMI interface simplifies internet usage on the move
