As part of an extensive package of features, Audi included a launch-control mode that gives you the best possibility of testing the real 0 to 100 km/h values. This feature requires the rather popular DSG. Here is how it works:
Step 1: Disable ESP
Step 2: Floor the brake all the way
Step 3: Shift into S-Drive
Step 4: Continuing to hold the brake, full throttle on the gas
Step 4: Release the brake
While the RPMs won't go much higher than 1800 before actually releasing the brake, the Audi S3 Sportback takes off like a rocket as soon as you do let go of the brake. In less than 6 seconds (official manufacturer value: 5,6s) you will surpass the 100 km/h mark and after approximately 22 seconds you will go past 200 km/h.
Needless to say, this is one sweet ride and the S3 Sportback never ceases to amaze regardless of what may be down the road.
