Default Me thinks 2015 S3 will do 0:60 in 4.4 sec.

The Audi website posts a time of 4.7 sec for 0:60 run for the S3 and 5.8 sec for the A3. These numbers tend to be conservative. Also there was an instrumented test on the A3 by Car & Driver back in June with a result of 5.4 sec for 0:60; further another instrumented test done by Car & Driver in England recently gave 0:60 in 4.4 sec for the S3; however this was probably a British spec car because the steering wheel was in the right and the weight/horsepower may be slightly different. Based on these I would bet the 0:60 for S3 would be very close to 4.4 sec.
Waiting for a car magazine to do the test in the USA!.

Check out the new review at the Motor Trend magazine website. Motor Trend says 0-60 in 4.7 sec.
