Every last gram

carries weight.
We dont take the task of building an Audi lightly yet
lightness is a top priority. You just have to know how to
dispense with things: with superfluous materials, with excess
weight, with outdated design principles. What began with the
revolutionary Audi Space Frame (ASF) now has an impact on
the entire production process. Existing forms and materials
are questioned. Manufacturing processes are optimised.
Components are carefully weighed up in every sense so that
we can build even lighter vehicles that make more sparing
use of resources. Such as the wheel hub pictured here, whose
chamfered edges have shaved 200 grams off its weight.
Because the less an Audi weighs, the more innovations we can
fit in. For more comfort and safety. For enhanced efficiency
and dynamic performance that produces lower CO emissions
for example through Audi cylinder on demand, the startstop system or recuperation. For even more Audi.

Intelligent performance
Maximum power.
Put to maximum use.
Every movement originates from something. Something that set it off, an idea. The
engines for your Audi can also be traced back to an initial spark of inspiration: higher
power with lower fuel consumption. These apparently conflicting aims are reconciled
in two revolutionary drive technologies: TDI and TFSI. Get acquainted with both
of them. And then opt for the drive system that you feel most moved by.
Intelligent performance.
Audi cylinder
on demand
TDI
With their combination of direct injection and turbocharging,
Audi TDI engines promise exceptional performance thanks to their
high torque output over the entire engine speed range with constant
power build-up. They are renowned for being fuel-efficient and for
reducing emissions. But they are incredibly dynamic too letting
you get the maximum out of any road.
TFSI
Audi TFSI engines attain a particularly high compression rate.
The result: outstanding efficiency combined with optimum
performance. Substituting supercharging for cubic capacity has
the effect of considerably reducing engine size and weight while
performance remains as impressively dynamic as ever. For power
delivery that will win you over from the word go.
Even cylinder heads can be

intelligent, as Audi cylinder on
demand proves. Cylinders two and
three of the TFSI engines four
cylinders automatically shut down in
the partial-load range. This helps to
lower fuel consumption at the same
time as reducing emissions. And
without the switchover even being
noticed or impairing the driving
dynamics.

Audi cylinder on demand technology in the Audi A3 Saloon and Audi A3 Cabriolet.
Or the 2.0 TFSI quattro with 221 kW in the Audi S3 Saloon. For S tronic with
an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.
Audi TDI engines: high torque output over the entire engine speed range
with constant power build-up. They are renowned for being fuel-efficient
and for reducing emissions. Like the 2.0 TDI clean diesel: 110 kW. In the
Audi A3 Cabriolet with a maximum speed of 224 km/h and an acceleration
of 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds.

Your Audi is painted not just once.

But four times.
When you choose a paint colour, choose one that best reflects your own personality.
But regardless of which colour you opt for, you can count on the outstanding quality
of our painting process. Though no thicker than a human hair, the layer of paint on an
Audi is actually made up of four different coats. So not only do you look radiant in your
Audi, the car is also optimally protected from environmental influences and wear.
For its entire lifetime.

The perfect connection

between an Audi and the road:
Audi wheels and tyres.
Audi tests its wheels and tyres especially carefully, to be sure you have a good
feel for the road from the outset. Before a tyre can become an Audi tyre, it has
to undergo a series of tests. This is the only way of guaranteeing that each tyre
meets Audis high quality standards and is perfectly tailored to each specific
vehicle. It means you can be sure that both tyre and wheel offer maximum
quality, service life and safety. Whichever design you choose.
You have to suffer a little,

to be this beautiful.
When our experts test the quality of genuine Audi
wheels, they are just as innovative as our designers.
Intense heat, high humidity, strong sunlight the
number of possible tests is almost limitless. The most
extreme endurance test, however, is the copper
accelerated salt spray test, or CASS for short. Here,
wheels damaged by simulated stone impacts prior to
the test are then sprayed with this extremely corrosive
solution over a period of several days. They must
withstand all these challenging conditions without any
noticeable deterioration to ensure that, even after
covering many kilometres, you remain just as delighted
with the design of your genuine Audi wheels as you
were on the very first day.

| Technology
Start-stop system
helps to reduce fuel consumption and CO emissions
by automatically switching off the engine when
standing, e.g. at traffic lights. The engine is restarted
as soon as the clutch is pressed (manual transmission)
or the footbrake is released (S tronic). May be deactivated
using a switch at any time
Audi drive select

allows vehicle characteristics to be set in the available
modes: auto, comfort, dynamic, efficiency as well as
in conjunction with MMI radio or MMI navigation plus
with MMI touch individually by adjusting the power
steering assistance, accelerator and gear changing
characteristics (S tronic) and additional optional
equipment. The efficiency mode shifts specifically
selected systems to a consumption-improved basic
setting.
Recuperation
economises on fuel through brake energy recuperation.
Kinetic energy is converted into usable electrical
energy by increasing the generator voltage when the
vehicle is coasting or braking and reducing the voltage
during a subsequent acceleration
Audi cylinder on demand

This technology allows a significant reduction in fuel
consumption and CO emissions. If the full power of
the 4 cylinders are not required in the partial-load
range or when coasting, the intake and outlet valves of
2 cylinders are automatically closed and their ignition
and fuel injection are switched off.
Diesel particulate filter, additive-free

The automatic filter system reduces soot particle
emissions in all diesel models.
Audi magnetic ride

Improved driving comfort and driving dynamics
thanks to the regulation of the damping forces based
on the driving situation. Adaptive damper system
with 3 individual selections of suspension settings
(auto/comfort/dynamic). Can be set via Audi drive select
(option for TFSI and TDI engines from 103 kW).
Including sport suspension lowered by 15 mm compared
with the dynamic suspension.
Audi TDI clean diesel (nitrogen oxide storage

catalytic converter)
significantly reduces nitrogen oxides in the exhaust
flow, which leads to lower exhaust emissions. Meets
the strict EU6 emission standard valid as of 2014.
In addition to the standard equipment with catalytic
converter and diesel particulate filter, the model with
TDI clean diesel has a maintenance-free nitrogen
oxide storage catalytic converter.
Manual transmission
all-synchromesh 6-speed manual transmission
with hydraulically activated single-disc dry clutch
with asbestos-free linings and dual-mass flywheel
S tronic
6- or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission allowing
faster gear changing without any perceptible break in
propulsive power. In automatic mode, programmes D
(Normal) and S (Sport) can be selected. The S tronic
can be manually operated using the optional shift
paddles behind the steering wheel or the selector
lever. Includes hill hold assist.
When in D gear, coasting mode allows an anticipatory
driving style and helps to reduce fuel consumption
by automatically disengaging when the accelerator is
released. It is automatically re-engaged when the
footbrake or the accelerator is depressed. Can be
activated in Audi drive select efficiency mode
Front-wheel drive
distributes the drive forces to the front wheels
according to the driving situation. With Electronic
Differential Lock (EDL) through intervention of
the brake system on both driven wheels, Anti-Slip
Regulation (ASR) and Electronic Stabilisation
Control (ESC) with brake assist
quattro
Impressive traction and driving safety through the
distribution of the drive forces to each individual
wheel according to the driving situation. With wheelselective torque control. The drive force is distributed
by means of the electronically controlled multi-plate
clutch on the rear axle and targeted braking actions
on the part of the Electronic Differential Lock (EDL).
Dynamic suspension
Sporty, dynamic driving characteristics thanks to
impressive driving dynamics and agile handling.
Front axle with McPherson struts with lower wishbones,
aluminium subframes and tubular stabliser. 4-link
rear axle with separate spring/damper arrangement,
subframe and tubular stabiliser. Lightweight
compound link rear suspension for 1.6 TDI (77 kW)
Sport suspension
More direct contact with the road and sporty handling
thanks to a body lowered by 15 mm and stiffer springs
and damper tuning

more dynamic spring/damper setting and vehicle
lowered by 10 mm compared with the sport suspension
or by 25 mm compared with the dynamic suspension
Electromechanical power steering

combines precision and comfort with especially
energy-saving technology. With its specific
characteristic curve, the electromechanical steering
with speed-sensitive servo-assistance is tight and
highly precise at high speeds and smooth when
parking and manoeuvring.
enhances the driving dynamics and driving comfort
thanks to more direct steering characteristics (e.g.
on winding rural roads or when turning) and reduced
steering effort (e.g. when parking and manoeuvring).
Impressive driving characteristics thanks to a
variable steering ratio based on the steering angle
and speed-sensitive steering assistance. Can be set
via Audi drive select (auto/comfort/dynamic)
Secondary collision brake assist

Following an accident, uncontrolled continued vehicle
motion is prevented in certain situations. In these
cases secondary collisions can be avoided.
Electromechanical parking brake

includes parking brake function when stationary,
drive-off assistance function through automatic
release when driving away and maximum deceleration
action while driving acting on all 4 wheels

Explanatory notes
Classifications of tyre parameters
The figure given was calculated using the specified measuring procedure (current version of Directive
80/1269/EEC).
The table shows the range of fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise emission classes for the different tyre sizes
of the A3 Saloon, A3 Cabriolet and S3 Saloon.
For Ambition: cast aluminium wheels, size 7.5 J x 17 with 225/45 R 17 tyres.
For Ambiente: cast aluminium wheels, size 7 J x 16 with 205/55 R 16 tyres.
You will find specifications on the technical characteristics of tyres in the adjacent table.
Tyre size
Summer tyres
Unladen vehicle weight includes driver (68 kg), 7 kg of luggage and fuel tank 90% full, calculated in accordance
with the current version of EC Directive 92/21/EEC. Optional equipment may increase the cars unladen weight
and drag coefficient, whereupon the possible payload limit and the top speed will be reduced accordingly.
The engines power output always decreases with increasing altitude. At 1,000 m above sea level, and for every
additional 1,000 m, deduct 10 % from the weight of the outfit (trailer load limit + gross weight of the towing
vehicle). Figure for trailer load limit applies to factory-fitted trailer towing hitch. If using the vehicle with a
trailer towing hitch for commercial purposes, a digital tachograph may be required under certain conditions.
A vehicles fuel consumption and CO emissions do not just depend on how efficiently the vehicle uses the fuel,
but are also influenced by driving behaviour and other non-technical factors. CO is the greenhouse gas primarily
responsible for global warming.
Regulated.
We recommend using sulphur-free super unleaded RON 95 in accordance with DIN EN 228. If this is not
available, use sulphur-free regular unleaded RON 91 in accordance with DIN EN 228; power output will be
slightly reduced. Unleaded RON 95 fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 10 % (E10) can generally be used.
Fuel consumption details refer to operation with RON 95 fuel in accordance with 692/2008/EC.
We recommend using sulphur-free diesel in accordance with DIN EN 590. If this is not available, use diesel in
accordance with DIN EN 590.
We recommend using sulphur-free super plus unleaded RON 98 in accordance with DIN EN 228. If this is not
available, use sulphur-free super unleaded RON 95 in accordance with DIN EN 228; power output will be slightly
reduced. Unleaded RON 95 fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 10 % (E10) can generally be used. Fuel
consumption details refer to operation with RON 95 fuel in accordance with 692/2008/EC.
The figures given were calculated using the specified measuring procedures. The figures do not refer to one
individual vehicle and do not form part of any offer, but rather should be used purely for purposes of comparison
between the different vehicle models.

The Audi experience

The fascination of Audi can be experienced in many
different ways. Audi City in London, for example, gives
you digital access to all models at their actual size
and in real time. And of course it is always worth visiting
one of the major motor shows. This is where Audi always
presents its new models and invites you to take a look
at how the future is being shaped with Vorsprung
durch Technik. Anyone interested in seeing how Audi is
already putting this into practice will find fascinating
insight in the Vorsprung durch Technik online special
at www.audi.com. But a look back can also be rewarding:
at the Audi mobile museum in Ingolstadt, history

and high-tech go hand in hand. A total of 130 historic
exhibits and state-of-the-art forms of presentation
make for a thrilling symbiosis. Plus, Audi driving
experience allows you to live the excitement and
countless possibilities of current Audi models. Here,
pure driving enjoyment is combined with valuable
learning effects. This is ensured by a team of specially
trained and highly qualified instructors who provide
practical tips to help you optimise your driving skills.

Responsibility
Living up to our responsibilities is a principle that is
firmly anchored in the Audi strategy. Alongside
commercial success and international competitiveness,
our responsibility toward company employees and
society as a whole is a key consideration, as is protecting
the environment and conserving resources. And what
is true in the details our catalogues are printed on
FSC-certified paper also holds in general: Audi develops
cars that are not only sporty and emotive but also ever
more efficient. In the long run, Audi wants its products
to allow CO-neutral mobility. Seeing to it that production

in Audi plants gradually becomes CO-neutral is another
aspect of our comprehensive approach. Audi is also
committed to society particularly in the fields of
education, technology and social projects. At Audi,
sustainability is closely linked with how we see the future:
the Audi Urban Future Initiative sees Audi working
with international experts to get to the root of future
urban challenges and trends in mobility.
the world of Audi.

Choosing an Audi means choosing
a brand that offers more.
More individuality. More exclusivity.
More fascination.
Team spirit
Motorsport is a driving force behind the brand. For years
Audi has been among the champions in various racing
series, for instance the 24 Hours of Le Mans or the DTM
German Touring Car Masters. The values that are crucial
in many different areas of sport are also central ones for
Audi: precision, passion and technology. No coincidence
then that Audi has been sponsoring sporting events for
www.audi.com
many years. In the world of winter sports, for example,
Audi has been the main sponsor of the German Ski
Association (DSV) for almost three decades and has
also partnered 14 other national alpine ski teams. In
football, we support national and international teams.
And Audi is also a partner for the German Olympic
Sports Confederation.
