This week’s evo track battle pitches the 316bhp BMW M135i against the new 296bhp Audi S3 Quattro at the Bedford Autodrome.
With a basic price within £200 of each other (Audi S3 starting at £30,640 and BMW’s M135i coming in at £30,555) it’s hard not to compare the two ultra hot hatchbacks. The Audi gives up some power and to the BMW, but can a slightly lower weight and some extra traction from the four-wheel drive system make up the difference on track? Jethro Bovingdon finds out.
