A rare and notably striking example of the high performance S3, this Audi Exclusive Solar Orange car offers the ideal blend of everyday usability, quattro assured handling, and strong turbocharged pace. Finished in a colour reported to be exceptionally uncommon on the 8V generation, it is further enhanced by an excellent specification, sympathetic upgrades, and a comprehensive history file, offered here without reserve.
The vendor informs us the car is equipped with a six speed DSG transmission and panoramic glass roof, along with cruise control, heated seats, and satellite navigation with Bluetooth music and hands free calling. Also present are rear cargo netting, and genuine 19 inch five spoke alloy wheels which the vendor informs us are a hard to find correct set. The vendor further informs us the car benefits from full black edition exterior trim fitted at Audi, supported by receipts, along with carbon mirror covers, giving the car a purposeful appearance to match the performance.
The V5 shows two previous owners and the vendor informs us the car is accompanied by a full comprehensive service history, with a stack of receipts, including servicing carried out both by Audi and by AMD. The vendor further informs us the car has been mapped by AMD with laminated rolling road printouts showing 363 bhp, and has been fitted with an APR intake and Forge pipe, while otherwise remaining largely unmodified. The vendor advises the original intake and airbox will also accompany the sale for those wishing to return the car to standard specification. Two keys are included.
The vendor informs us that since acquiring the car in February, it has benefitted from continued maintenance and improvement, including four brand new GDI injectors fitted at RTech Performance, along with a walnut blast, a new rear caliper, front discs and pads fitted using Brembo discs and EBC Redstuff pads, and a fresh service completed in preparation for its next owner. The vendor openly notes the mileage is higher than some comparable examples, however emphasises that the car has been well cared for and remains an excellent driving example which is reportedly very quick and enjoyable to use.
The 8V generation S3 has earned an enviable reputation as one of the most complete compact performance cars of the modern era, offering refined everyday manners alongside genuinely serious pace. With quattro traction, strong build quality, and a vast tuning scene supporting the platform, it remains a highly sought after model among enthusiasts, and examples in rare colours with desirable specification are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
