One of Us: Seidl Goes Mainstream With Audi A3 Tune
SIMBACH/LANDAN, Germany ” Seidl Tuning normally tweaks high-performance products from BMW, Mercedes and Porsche. But its latest effort focuses on the more prosaic Audi A3 compact. Seidl focuses primarily on aero body add-ons, starting with new front and rear bumpers. The front bumper has massive air-intake cutouts flanking a new matte-black grille insert. The rear bumper incorporates a skirt and a diffuser for the dual exhaust. Side skirts are a bit more subtle. But the custom alloy wheels are distinctive, and are shod with ultra-low-profile performance rubber. Seidl has left the A3 cabin virtually intact, but the tuner has a full catalog of accessories to dress up the five-door hatchback and its performance-oriented sibling, the S3. What this means to you: Tuning takes on a more affordable twist.
First Renderings of the Upcoming A3 Cabriolet
While these are not official images from Audi, given the track record of AutoSport Magazine, they ought to be pretty accurate. Looks like Audi may have a winner on its hands with this one especially if the S3 variant makes it to these shores.

KTM X-Bow, Big engine and many wheels
We heard about this car coming from KTM a little while ago. Now these are the images. It's orange and it's sporty so it must be a KTM! Well, it's not all KTM actually. The engine is a VW 2Litre from the Golf GTI and the transmission is also from VW. The engine produces 220hp, but can be upgraded to a 300hp version (same as in Audi S3).
