Throughout much of human history, the colour white has long been synonymous with purity, which is why it is the perfect pigment to adorn this immaculate and unmolested Audi S3 8V saloon.
As a 2016, 66-plate model, it is one of the earliest facelift 8Vs produced, and as such it comes equipped with a 310PS 2.0-litre TFSi engine, which is not only more powerful than both the previous and post generations, but is also free from restrictive OPF filters resulting in a richer exhaust note.
This potent powerplant is mated to a seven-speed S-Tronic gearbox and a reconfigured Haldex Quattro four-wheel-drive system that sends more torque to the rear wheels for a more engaging driving experience. Combined with Magnetic Ride Control, the lowered sports suspension offers a sublime ride that can dominate B-roads or cross continents with ease.
The luxuriously appointed interior, complete with sports seats in fine Nappa leather, features the advanced Audi MIB2 multi-media interface system, including Apple Car Play functionality as well as the excellent Audi Virtual Cockpit as a cost-option, which this particularly fine example also benefits from by virtue of being outfitted with the Advanced Tech Pack, an upgrade that forms part of a suite of over £4000 of desirable factory optional extras.
Presented in a unblemished coat of Ibis White paint, which has been further enhanced by an additional 40 hours of meticulous preparation by our in-house detailing team, including multi-stage paint correction to ensure a truly flawless finish, the condition of this completely factory standard S3 is simply astounding and belies the verified 49,800 miles on the clock and two previous keepers.
This exemplary order is no doubt attributed to the meticulous maintenance record that displays a full Audi main dealer service history complete with every physical invoice. On top of this, new owners can benefit from the transferable Audi Service Plan, which has an engine oil and filter service remaining to be redeemed at any Audi main dealer in the UK at no cost.
Our deep-dive diagnostic, as part of our extensive pre-purchase inspection using our dealer level diagnostic equipment confirms a verified 49,800 miles from new, authenticating the mileage shown on the odometer. Our diagnostic tool has also revealed no aftermarket modifications or ECU remapping has ever taken place, for complete piece of mind for any prospective buyers.
As you can see, this is truly a standout specimen of Audi’s coveted S3 saloon, so please take the time to view our comprehensive video to see what goes into our unrivalled preparation process and be sure to contact us without delay if you wish to discuss this vehicle further or secure it with a deposit.
