A3 quattro soon



Dutch AutoWeek this week: next November will see the European intro of the
A3 quattro (or more accurately: 4Motion...) featuring the multi-plate
clutch system developed by Haldex in Sweden for the Golf-platform cars.

In Holland we'll get two versions of this car: the basic 1.8t 5v w/150 hp,
and a cream-of-the crop 180 hp version, doing 0-100 km/h in 7.5 s. Trim
levels will be the familiar Attraction (base), Ambition (sport) and
Ambiente (luxury).

AutoWeek think that it should've looked a bit more spectacular, I don't.
It's fine as it is, and stealth has always been Audi's strong point.
