Audi S3 Cabriolet Mythos Black

Audi S3 Cabriolet Mythos Black

We think you’ll agree, the new 1:76 scale Audi S3 Cabriolet launched in Issue 248 looks very smart in its second colour scheme – jet black. Our newly tooled 1:76 scale model comprises the 2-door, four seater, registered LF16 HHW. It features a completely black interior and black exterior trim apart from the highly detailed silver wheels and silver grille. A small detail to note is the red and silver S3 logo on the corner of the boot. The roof is down, emphasising the streamlined appearance of this most attractive car.

The Audi S3 Cabriolet was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2014, described as a high-performance version of Audi’s open topped A3. Sporting a 2.0 L petrol turbo engine, four wheel drive and 6-speed transmission, it also boasted an acceleration ratio of 0.62 mph in 5.4 seconds and it was capable of 38.8 mpg. It went on sale in the UK in September 2014, costing its enthusiastic purchasers just under £39,000. Heated front seats were included. Nice touch!
