Something about optional sport differential.
Did Audi improve the haldex on the new S3. I know that we are not getting the power upgrade… but is the haldex improved (Audi S3 Reviews - Audi S3 Price, Photos, and Specs - Car and Driver) ?
Is this an option?

Thanks
no there is sports differential in the car, though there are rumors that the 2017 S3 has the same XDS settings as the RS3 but nothing concrete

There was definitely no sport differential option when I built my 2017 S3 (both using the online configurator and the dealer's build program).

I think this color looks amazing on an S3.

So Canadians get Panther Black and Ibis White paint options the US doesn't ?

And the US gets Navarra blue option the Canadians don't?

And the US Magma interior is the entire front seats are red, while Canadian Magma interior is only a portion of the seats are red?

The Magma interior in Canada is actually all red.

There is also a Rock grey interior available in Canada which I have ordered on mine (it is also all one colour). For some reason the rock grey and magma red interiors only show up as options if you use the Apple configurator app or the Andriod configurator app.

Not sure what to believe - this is how my dealer described my Magma seats would look:

By the way, it seems there are at least two 2017 Audi S3s now at Canadian dealerships. Looks like neither has Magma interior.

I think Europe gets the multi coloured seats and Canada and the U.S. gets the solid colour seats. These pics are from the Canadian configurator:





I guess the only way to find out for sure is when my car arrives in December.
