With Audi virtual cockpit, a second screen on your instrument cluster can be customized to show you clear images of where you're heading with Google Earth.

The S3 is a racing inspired sport sedan. This means the technology under the hood is designed specifically to deliver the most efficiency, power, control and fun out of your drive. On top of controlling your music and navigation, your MMI® display gives you the freedom to personalize your drive.
The Audi Drive Select feature lets you adjust the drivetrain between four modes: Comfort, Auto, Dynamic, and Individual. You can even create your own driving profile with MMI® Navigation and MMI® Touch. You'll also be able to customize the gear shifts in the seven-speed S tronic® dual-clutch transmission thanks to steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. This gives you the power to make the 290 horsepower and quattro® all-wheel drive perform however you want during your drive.
Safety & Driver Assistance
In addition to giving you great performance and entertainment, the 2018 Audi S3 is focused on keeping you safe and aware too. The Audi pre sense® system watches out for you on all sides. For example, when you're backing up, the side assist lets you know when another car is coming your way before its entered your field of vision.
This is just one part of a standard parking system that uses acoustic sensors and a rearview camera to help you get in and out of tight parking spots. This system of driver assistance technologies will look out for you on the road too. The side assist feature lets you know when its safe to change lanes by alerting you if there's another car in your blind spot.
In a similar way, Audi active lane assist can detect if you start drifting out of your lane. It sends alerts to you and also applies corrective steering to get you centered again. In the front, Audi pre sense® uses adaptive cruise control with stop and go to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you and can even bring your car to a complete stop if it detects that traffic has stopped.
