I think that S3/A3 in those pics from dani look awesome, but honestly think it's a tuners car, not the S3. I don't know of many preproduction cars that use pins to hold the hood down or have a front under spoiler like this car does. The only thing that catches my eye that might make the S3 is the wheel arches. Or those stock? I know wider wheels can make wheels arches look bigger than stock, but are these actually bigger?

Daaamn...those new pics of the S3 on the Nurburgring look fantastic. It has the same sort of pugnacious agressive stance as the B7 RS4 and so long as it has the rear-biased handling and grunt that it needs to be a sports car, it's going to be fantastic.

Actually..if I had to guess, the two vehicles in the pictures are quite different models, not an S3 and another S3, but something perhaps more exciting. The yellow car appears to be the next S3, if you look at the grille, you can even make out an S-badge. On the other hand, the Dark Grey car is probably a hotter version, an RS3 or a racecar based on the A3. The front spoiler is deeper, the intakes larger and shaped differently, and in the test car, there only appears to be one racing seat whereas the yellow car has the full complement of seats.

woah now those Ring pics look aggressive! A little similar to the rs4 but that is a good thing.

I hope Audi will launch the RS3, with a +350hp V6 biturbo and the aggressive look that we can see on everso's pix, a future RS3 would be simply awesome and respectful of "RS" Audi Quattro GmbH tradition.
