Its all about weight ...always has been, thats why a run of the mill £2000 bike will blow a £100,000 super car into the weeds Modern cars weigh far to much to be really quick, things like electric seats weigh a ton. I couldn't believe the weight of my FBMFSW when i fitted it !!!.2.0litre forced Induction 4wdquattro???,,,,did come to my mind !!!!!!!!
Oh and 2year old technology over 13 year old technology..
End of the day its a better car to be in(S3) but its half the performance car and to be honest with you, Ill pick the keys up for the Teg DC2 before the S3 thats saying something, although i am aware of it depends what people desire out of a car..Personally i buy a performance car to be just that
I always say its down to power to weight and its 10x cheaper to cut the weight than to up the power but it amounts to exactly the same thing.
