With the Paris Auto Show looming in the not so distant future, it becomes only natural for more details to emerge on the cars that will be making their way onto the showroom floors.

We have already found out that the five-door 2013 Audi A3 Sportback will be heading to Paris, and now, Autocar magazine is reporting that it will be making a tag-team appearance with the high performance S3 model before both go on sale early next year.

So far, Audi hasn’t officially revealed any details on their latest model, but we have caught it testing earlier this year with a more aggressive body kit, trademark quad exhaust and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Under the hood, the S3 is expected to come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI engine good for 276bhp and an estimated 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) time in the mid-five-seconds range.

As the Paris Auto Show nears, we should find out more on the upcoming S3.
