New Audi A3 Sportback – A winning recipe

For the second time in its history A3 we will see Sportback 5-door version, which follows the successful logic of the current A3 Sportback, to offer further practicality and spaces.
With a glance

– The 5-door version of the Audi A3
– With a more practical body
– Same TFSI and TDI engines
– Launch in its early days 2013

From the news, third generation of the Audi A3 which has just been presented at the Geneva Motor Show, of course, its 5-door version could not be missing. She, as happened in the previous one, second generation of the Audi model, will retain the 'Sportback' name, but also the body which slightly refers to a station wagon. So the second generation Audi A3 Sportback will be launched early next year across Europe, but we, already through our spies, we can present to you what her appearance is.

Elegant design with a little more dynamism
In the aesthetic field, the next generation of the Audi A3 Sportback will follow the lines of the new 3-door model, offering a slightly more dynamic appearance at the front. In the back on the other hand, that is, where the aesthetic differentiation will also exist, we will see the third pillar of the roof "break" its angle a little more and not be as vertical as in the current Sportback. Of course, this will not mean that the 5-door A3 will not resemble station wagons again, and this will be helped by the large third rear side window. It is also very important to mention that the body is again expected to lengthen by 50-70 mm., so as to again offer a larger trunk than the 365 liters of the luggage compartment of the 3-door.

It retains the same TFSI and TDI engines
In the field of engines, the new Audi A3 Sportback will retain the same engines as the 3-door new A3. So in the range from the side of petrol engines, we will first see him 1,4 TFSI of 122 horses and its new version 1,8 TFSI engine with them 180 horsepower. In terms of diesel, first only their 2-liter TDI will be available 150 horses (average consumption: 4,1 l. / 100 km.), while there will be a new version of it 1,6 TDI, with very low fuel consumption (3,8 l. / 100 km.) and CO2 emissions only 99 gr / km. All that remains now, is to be confirmed by Audi and the addition to the range and of 1,2 TSI petrol engine, which is expected to gather the most interest in our country.

Interior
No changes, the interior of the new Audi A3 Sportback will be carried over almost entirely from the 3-door model, maintaining a subtly sporty style and now referencing the interior of the Audi A1. But also in terms of quality, expected to see the same, top materials for class data, with the dash being lined with foam plastic and the rest of the parts being hard-to-the-touch materials with a very solid fit and finish. As is also the case with the 3-door Audi A3, the new generation of the Audi MMI infotainment system, it will also be available on the new A3 Sportback, offering more usability and even better information.

Alonso conquers the rain

Another episodic grand prix was held at her track Malaysia with the rain playing its own games. His first victory this season was celebrated by Fernando Alonso, taking advantage of McLaren's misfortune. The impressive Sergio Peres climbed to the second step of the podium, while the top three was completed by Lewis Hamilton.

Drivers managed just nine laps at Sepang in heavy rain, which forced the referees to stop the match, for about an hour, until its intensity decreases and track conditions improve.

However, the stoppage combined with the safety car really shuffled the deck and… ruined McLaren's race.

Hamilton's first pit stop stuck wheel and Button's contact with Karthikeyan, gave first place to Alonso, which he maintained until the checkered flag.

McLaren's misfortune, good luck to alonso!

Just nine rounds lasted the fairy tale for the British team. Hamilton started very well and maintained his lead. However, the entry of the safety car and the stoppage of the race, they put... an early end to McLaren's race. The winner of the first grand prix, Jenson Button, finished in 14th place, since after his contact with Karthikeyan he failed to make the top ten.

Alonso, who got off to a good start was in the right place at the right time, resulting in him being in first place and taking the win, after the British Grand Prix. However, Sergio Peres also took advantage of the right timing, who in Malaysia impressed, seeing the checkered flag second.


This Mexican is crazy!

The performance of Sergio Peres was excellent, who in Malaysia, not only did he manage to maintain second place, but he had the guts to claim victory as well, filling Fernando Alonso's mirrors.

However, three laps before the checkered flag the team informed Peres that they wanted the second place points, advising him to slow down. At the Malaysian circuit, the Sauber driver was placed in the best position, that has ever been marketed.

In fact, he is the first Mexican to take the podium since 41 years and Pedro Rodríguez, who had finished second the 1971 at the Dutch Grand Prix.

Mark Webber saw the checkered flag from fourth place, with his stablemate, Sebastian Vettel to finish 11th. The World Champion had contact with Karthikeyan's HRT with seven laps to go, resulting in his rear tire being damaged and him visiting the pits.
