There would still be a decent performance gap between an S3 with the 3.0T motor and the upcoming RS3. Perhaps they think it would take sales away from the S4 and S5 SB  |
It'd be odd for the S3 to have a bigger engine than RS3 (even if less power from factory), might not fit in engine bay, would exacerbate nose-heavy weight distribution, and challenging from emissions and tax perspective in Europe and China.
