THIS is the new Audi S3, one of two hot A3 models on the way (the five-cylinder RS 3 is due in 2021) and the company's answer to the Mercedes-AMG A 35, the latest BMW M135i and the upcoming Volkswagen Golf R.

As always, there's quattro four-wheel drive, and power gets to the wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox with paddles on the steering wheel for driver input; there's no proper manual gearbox available. The S3 still rides neatly on the larger wheels with the adaptive dampers in Comfort mode PHOTO (COLOR): S3 has all the tech you could ask for, plus some subtle sporty upgrades PHOTO (COLOR): TECH.

IN September 2016, Alfa Romeo test driver Fabio Francia momentarily caught air at 162mph while heading over a crest into one of the fastest, most daunting corners on the world's most fearsome race circuit. "We are already using lap time simulation to work out where we are right now with the project", explains Fabio Migliavacca - Alfa Romeo's current European marketing boss, and the man responsible for overseeing the development direction of the current generation of cars.

The DS 7 E-Tense 360 4×4 uses the firm's familiar 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol/dual electric motor plug-in hybrid powertrain, but tweaked to offer 355bhp and 520Nm torque.

WHAT we have here is the latest addition to the Mk8 Volkswagen Golf line-up - the GTE plug-in hybrid - and now, more than ever, VW is marketing it as a more economically and environmentally friendly alternative to the GTI hot hatchback. That's because, while the previous GTE was tasked with setting out the idea that a plug-in family hatch could be economical and fast, this new model is unashamedly positioned in the three-prong performance Golf line-up of GTI, GTE and new GTD diesel. From the outside, you can really see how VW has aligned the GTE with its GTI-badged sibling; it's cloaked in the same sporty bodykit with a large lower grille and flared side skirts.

Under the bonnet is the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six engine as in the M4, but with an increased output of 552bhp and 550Nm to make this the most powerful sixcylinder BMW road car ever.

The design is contemporary BMW, but with one or two twists alluding to the seventies car and distancing the 3.0 CSL from BMW's other new "Coupé Sport Lightweight" model, the recently launched M4 CSL.
