Audi Antes Up To The Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG With 2014 300HP S3 Sportback

 Following the reveal of the 2014 S3 hatchback last September, Audi has now introduced the five-door Sportback variant with 300 horsepower and a 5-second 0-62 time.

Audi has joined Mercedes at the new high-performance hot-hatch party, revealing its new S3 Sportback the same day its German counterpart takes the lid off the A45 AMG. Clearly there's no comparison when it comes to performance - the RS3 will be the A45's true rival - but the overhauled four-pot in the S3 Sportback is no slouch.

Audi has tuned the 2.0-liter TFSI to deliver 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while the addition of new tech such as dual injection and Audi's valvelift system results in impressive efficiency.
