Now that the Audi RS3 is out, it's understandable why the S3 is no longer getting the same attention as before. However, Motoren Technik Mayer wishes to remind us the lesser of the two hot hatchbacks is still a fun pocket rocket, especially after massaging the engine for more power. It's no inline-five little monster like its big-brother RS3, but MTM has managed to push the four-pot well beyond the 401 hp available in the Audi Sport model.
Our pal Auditography spent some quality time with the German tuner's S3 Clubsport in Kitzbuhel, Austria while the boldly colored compact performance model climbed the Alps. Aside from the eccentric finish with Python Yellow and green decals, you can tell by the prominent front bumper spoiler and the large wing at the back – both in carbon fiber – this is far from an ordinary S3.
