Oxford Diecast 76S3001 Audi S3 Cabriolet 1:76 Scale Diecast Model.

The Audi S3 Cabriolet was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2014 and was described as a high-performance version of Audi's open topped A3. It went on sale in the UK in September that year, with a price tag of just under £39,000. Reviews at the time found it stylish, an impressive high performance four seater, yet compact. Its sports spec described it as having a 2.0L petrol turbo engine, four wheel drive and 6-speed S tronic transmission. Acceleration ratio came out at 0 - 62 mph in 5.4 seconds and it was capable of 38.8 mpg. Cosmetically, it sported 19 inch alloy wheels, Xenon headlights with LED daytime lights and aluminium finished door mirrors. Its automatic hood could be lowered in 18 seconds. If you wanted a pearlescent or metallic paint finish, that would cost you a bit more but you also got a leather steering wheel and gearstick thrown in! The interior was made with super soft leather seating, heated front seats and three-spoke steering wheel. It even came with stainless steel pedals.

Oxford Diecast's newly tooled 1:76 scale replica sees the 2-door, four seater decorated in white with the roof down to reveal red seating and a black interior. It is registered KT15 AFU. Exterior trim is silver with the radiator grille finished in black/silver with silver surround. The authentic alloy wheels are sprayed silver and rounding the model off, the famous Audi four ringed badge is printed in the centre of the grille and also across the boot and if you look closely, the red and silver S3 marque features on the lower left hand side of the boot too.

This superb new model joins Oxford's new Audi timeline alongside the 1980s Quattro launched recently.
