This is still a particularly meaningful article, even as a translation.
I love the part about the BMW commercials :)

Subject: semi-offical: S3 will be made
So, now we know why the A3 wasn't available with the 2.0t. Why?
Because for the cost of a chip, you could turn your A3 2.0t quattro
into an S3.
Yep. They're making an "S3": http://www.auto-motor-sport.de/news/
auto_und_produkte/audi_s6_s_geht_los.106813.htm
Babelfish mangling...I mean...translation:
"For the time being will complete the sporty model family in the
autumn a new S3, which AUDI confirmed now for the first time
officially. Technical details the manufacturer gave still no official
data. But it means in enterprise circles that the car with a loaded
four-cylinder is to go to the start, which will carry clearly more
than 250 HP out."
Let the confusion between the "S-line A3" and the "S3" begin! Yes,
I'm sure there will be new rims for the S3, and different suspension
adjustments, and maybe an oil cooler or stronger rods (a la 225HP
TT)...but this is pretty underwhelming, considering the difference
between an A4 3.2L and an S4 is 70+ HP.
Meanwhile, BMW is hammering the TVs of America with "ALL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE INCLUDED!" at the end of their ads...
