The Audizine 2015 S3 has been ordered, and PROJECT S3PANG begins!

[Anthony]

As you may know, the new 2015 order guide was just released which includes the S3.

I am parting ways with the Project TT and Ur S6 Avant to make room for the S3, equipped as follows…

S3 SEDAN 2.0T QUATTRO S TRONIC (8VS51L)
- Exterior Color: Sepang Blue Pearl Effect (E9E9)
- Interior Color: Black w/dark silver stitching (XG)
- PRESTIGE PACKAGE (WPT)
- WHEEL & TIRE PACKAGE - (PPT)
- WITHOUT FRONT LICENSE PLATE HOLDER (6W9)
- IPOD CABLE FOR AUDI MUSIC INTERFACE - NO CHARGE
- AUDI CONNECT - ATT

For those that don't have the order guide handy, here's a bit more info on the packages/options mentioned above.

Premium Plus

Includes A3 Premium Plus features plus: - 18" 5-Parallel-spoke-design, bi-color wheels with 225/40 summer performance tires - S-model exterior kit: - Body-colored trunk lip spoiler - Alu-optic mirror housings and front & rear diffuser blades - Aluminum door sills w/ S3 emblem - Quad exhuast pipes with finishers - Platinum Gray matte front grille w/ chrome struts - S-specific sport suspension & brake system - Aluminum matte finish inlays - Audi progressive steering (variable ratio) - Audi drive select (steering effort, shift points, throttle map) - 3-spoke flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel w/ shift paddles - 12-way power front sport seats - Driver information system w/ trip computer, color

Prestige

Includes S3 Premium Plus features plus: - Audi MMI navigation plus (PNK): - Audi MMI navigation plus w/ MMI touch - Audi connect with online services - Audi MMI navigation high control panel - Bang & Olufsen Sound System (9VS) - Convenience package (PT1): - Interior storage package (12V outlets for rear seat & trunk, nets on side of trunk) - LED interior lighting package (door handles, map lights, footwell, cupholder) - Auto-dimming interior mirror w/ compass - Power-folding, heated exterior mirrors w/ driver's side auto-dimming - Driver Assistance package (PCU): - Audi parking system (front & rear acoustic sensors) w/ rearview camera - Audi side assist - Full LED headlights (PX2)

My only concern is in regards to the interior trim. Seems that brushed aluminum is the only option, as of now anyway. I'd prefer carbon fiber trim so hopefully there will be a revision to the order guide when we get further to production.

The S3 configurator isn't live on audiusa.com yet, so here's the build render off of audi.co.uk…

No 19's with magnetic ride?

[PerimeterJones]

Chandler Audi told me at the A3 reveal party on 4/3/14 that later this year the A3/S3 will have home link added for teh US market

[MiracleWhips]

Congrats Anthony!

The S3 will be my next purchase as well! Any idea on a delivery date?

[chris@fifteen52]

Wheels, suspension? ;)

[CLEANA3]

caint wait

[PAT@RSW]

I'm also in the middle of working with our local Audi to acquire a S3, I was told by the GM that all current orders being accepted now are for August / September production.

I was in such a rush to get the order in, I neglected to even notice that the 19" wheels came with magnetic ride. I don't need the 19"s, but that suspension… Order updated!

[Anthony]

No idea on delivery date. Hoping by end of September…but I feel my hopes are too high.

Wheels, suspension? ;)

Yes and yes.

If they don't go into production until Aug/Sept, I'll be very sad.

Agreed! Good choice! I bet it will made a good difference.

[Dino V]

Great choice for color! Congrats!

This is very cool expect for one thing..... selling the UrS6????? Please say it ain't so!

[nuccimanne]

We have been told beginning of fourth quarter the S3 will be here. Most likely some will start to trickle in around September. It's going to be a great car. The data plan for connect is just like your data plan for smart phone now. But the S3 has amazing steering, you'll enjoy it.

Yessir. It's time to move on. Just need to find her a good home.

I wish I had the money to take her off your hands

[Need4Speed]

Cant wait to see what modifications are in store for this badboy !

[ModBargains.com]

Glad to see people are getting started fast! Congrats on the ride

[GramCracker]

Congratulations on the new sled, Anthony. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

[Anthony]

Thanks, guys. I'm excited to get my hands on it as well!

[CLEANA3]

There are order guides posted in some of the other threads. The S3 starts at $41,100. Mine as built will come in just under $50k plus tax/license.

[GramCracker]

Perhaps I missed this in the thread, but is there an estimated delivery month/time?

[Support@KMDtuning]

Congratulations, Anthony!

[Sales@DriveAuto]

Congrats - looking forward to following its progression!

[High_octane3541]

[Jake@JHM]

[RedB5S4]

UGHHHH MOAR PICS. I cannot wait to see this thing. And as soon as the RS3 gets to the states I'm selling my soul.

Oh my GOD this is beautiful!!!!!!

[gamegenie]

with a custom grill you can probably turn the S3 into the RS3 concept.

Eh, I don't see what's wrong with the regular S3 grille. I like it just fine. I did get those Euro-spec headlights though.

[gamegenie]

nothing wrong with the S3 grill,
I figured since people bought A3 Prestige to get the look of an S3, then S3 users might want their cars to look like the faster RS3 Concept.

[D_Frost]

Really looking forward to your build ;)

[BlackAudi87]

prestige is just blacked out. the S3 has the chrome front finishes. duuuh =p

Yesterday I parked behind a beautiful white Sedan with temp tags and the S3 badge at a po-dunk greasy spoon restaurant in a small town, Kaysville, Utah. I'm curious so I google it tonight and find this thread. If I would've known how new, or rare, I would have snapped a pic.

She was pretty! I'm curious about more details on the RS3 Avant.....

Good luck to each of you waiting for your orders to ship!
