This 2001 Audi S3 8L, finished in striking Imola Yellow over a Black leather interior with Imola Yellow Alcantara inserts, is a standout example of the iconic hot hatch. This Swiss-delivered car has covered 200,000 km and benefits from a series of performance upgrades, meticulous maintenance, and tasteful cosmetic enhancements.

Under the hood, the 1.8T turbocharged engine is paired with a manual transmission, delivering a spirited and engaging driving experience. The car features a Stage 1 tune by Sportec Switzerland, providing a noticeable bump in power and torque. A Sportec short-shift kit reduces gear shift travel for a sharper, more precise driving feel. The transmission oil has been recently replaced, and the turbocharger has been refreshed, ensuring reliable performance.

The car rides on two sets of wheels: 19-inch BBS Speedline alloys for summer, fitted with adapter plates for a wider stance, and 17-inch Audi original rims in matte black for winter. The central-locking coilover suspension and track plates further enhance handling, giving the car a planted and aggressive presence on the road.

The exterior presents well in its original Imola Yellow paint, with new Audi rings fitted front and rear. While the paintwork shows some stone chips consistent with its age, the overall bodywork remains clean and sharp. The trunk dampers have been replaced for smooth and reliable operation.

Inside, the cabin offers a sporty and stylish atmosphere with Imola Yellow Alcantara seat inserts, which perfectly complement the exterior color. The steering wheel and gear knob have been re-trimmed in Alcantara with yellow stitching, adding a premium, customized touch. A new Bluetooth-enabled radio has been installed, offering modern functionality while blending in with the factory aesthetic.

The car has undergone comprehensive maintenance, including a new battery, timing belt, water pump, filters, and thermostat, all of which have been recently replaced. The next owner will benefit from the peace of mind that comes with these fresh service items.

The first service booklet is unfortunately missing, but the second service booklet is present, along with a folder of invoices and receipts documenting the car’s history, making the maintenance record traceable.

There are a few minor imperfections to note: the headliner sags slightly at the rear, and the exterior has some stone chips from regular use. However, these do not detract from the car’s overall appeal.

With its rare color combination, tasteful modifications, and thorough maintenance history, this Audi S3 8L offers a compelling package for enthusiasts seeking a well-sorted, stylish, and capable performance hatchback.
