2001 AUDI S3

2001 Audi S3 8L – 500BHP Stage 3 Monster – Fully Forged Big Power Build – £££s Spent

Reg: 51 Plate

Up for sale is my fully rebuilt and heavily modified 2001 Audi S3, originally purchased as a high-mileage motorway car and transformed into a no-expense-spared Stage 3+ build. I've owned the car since 2017, and it’s been a long-term project built with care, attention to detail, and high-quality parts throughout. This is a properly sorted 8L S3 running 500bhp, mapped by Badger 5, with everything you'd expect from a serious performance build — and then some.

The car has just been fully serviced and comes with 12 months MOT, ready to drive away.

💥 Engine:

This is not your average S3. The engine has been completely rebuilt and upgraded from the ground up, starting with a 1.9 TDI bottom end, known for its strength.

📌 Notes:

This is a proper enthusiast build — not a thrown-together turbo swap. Ideal for fast road, track, or even drag use. Tuned safely, mapped properly, and built to handle serious power.

Still maintains a road-going shell and interior, so could be used as a weekend toy or taken further as a track weapon.

Owned by me since 2017.

Just serviced. Comes with 12 months MOT.
