Available for sale is a stunning and rare 1999 Audi S3 8L, powered by a 1.8L 20VT engine, producing a solid 269 HP, paired with a manual transmission. This pre-facelift S3 is finished in Brilliant Black over a blue interior and has been meticulously maintained and enhanced with a focus on achieving a refined OEM+ feel. With 292,615 km on the clock, this car has been a cherished daily driver for the past nine years, and nearly every component has been updated or improved to ensure a rewarding driving experience.

This S3 comes equipped with an impressive array of factory options, including Bi-Xenon headlights, a full RECARO interior with blue alcantara inserts, Bose sound system, climate control, electric windows, and cruise control, along with other modern conveniences. Recent upgrades include a SACHS Performance Clutch with single-mass flywheel, Bilstein B16 PSS9 coilovers, and a Wagner front-mount intercooler. The braking system has been overhauled with Leon Cupra R Brembo calipers, 323mm grooved discs, and steel braided lines all around.

The 1.8L engine has seen extensive work to boost reliability and performance. A brand-new BorgWarner K04-020 turbo was installed at 275,000 km, along with a new original manifold. Enhancements such as a Forge DV008 Recirculation valve, R8 Red Top ignition coils, and a Zinram 3.5-inch downpipe with sport cat contribute to the refined power delivery. It’s running a conservative, reliable tune at 269 HP but can be pushed further if desired.

The exterior features 18-inch RSTT wheels, freshly restored, along with a ceramic coating, bringing out the depth of the Brilliant Black finish. Inside, all instrument lighting and LCD screens have been refreshed, ensuring this S3 looks as sharp on the inside as it performs on the road. The car is documented thoroughly, with an extensive maintenance history and all upgrades, and comes with two keys and original booklets.
