The S3 was schnitzers modified 2.5 M3 and as far as im aware they never made a cab. If they did it would look similar to the M3 cab but with lower suspension, a schnitzer front splitter and schnitzer wheels.

It had the wheels and was loooow, but i didn't see it from the front. I asked the guy if it was genuine and he assured me that it was!

To be a real S3 it would have the 2.5 245bhp engine, be LHD and have all the usual M3 bodywork.

(unless schnitzer made another version?)
