Does anyone know about SIII TSI 380 model which has been revealed in Chengdu auto show last week?

 

Could this be 380 bhp / Sportline version of SIII??  

 

I have couple of pictures but unable to share due to some error! Will try again in the eve.

It's not April is it ? :-)

No only a 280 being released - suspect a mis type.

 

The Sportline has already been featured elsewhere and mainly contains cosmetic upgrades.

Nope, it's not a mis-type as the badge says 'TSI 380'....sorry unable to upload image now. Will try from home in the eve.

 

Not sure if this variant is only for China though!

Not a chance will be 380bhp. If the badge does say 380 it will refer to something else

Looks like 1.4 & 1.6....lol....but it's been badged as TSI 330 & TSI 380 for some reason       the gold sort of paint is the TSI 380 one but not obvious from these images.

Unless my eyes deceive me - it actually says TSI 330.

 

And is only one image stating 330?

On Skoda China website, the 1.4 and 1.6 litre Superbs are listed as:

 

TSI330: 132kw / 330 Nm

TSI380: 162 Kw / 350 Nm

 

I can't find a reference to 330 or 380 in any of the figures.

 

Must relate to something though.

I think everyone who has ordered an L&K in the UK (myself included) should feel lucky we are not getting this interior!

 

It's like they'd started making it all brown and then just couldn't be bothered finishing it! Ruined by the few remaining black bits and the light coloured wood in my opinion.

Almost looks like someone tried to convert the colour at home!

That is truly dreadful.

Could have a slightly detuned engine from the Golf R400.

162Kw = 217 Bhp = 379.....

132Kw = 177 Bhp = 309..... Oh well, it looked too easy to start with...

Or is it the BMW school of confusing badges 2 litre 318, 2.5 litre 523. It makes them appear more impressive than their European

market equivalent names

I do not like the steering wheel. But I like the wooden inserts, much better than the awful Piano Black inserts.
