Audi SA Flipping Lies

I inquired Audi SA about the consistent underpowered nature of their S version range in comparison to Europe. As an illustration, the SA Audi S3 has a power rating of 213 KW compared to the 235 KW rating for Europe. Audi's response was: "Due to the inferior fuel quality in comparison to Europe."

My subsequent inquiries were as follows: 1) If this is true, shouldn't all S models have identical power output, since the fuel quality should similarly affect all S engines? 2) The SA variant of the Golf R (which utilizes the same engine as the Audi S3 has a power output of 235KW, which is equivalent to the power output in Europe. How is it possible for the Golf R to cope with our substandard fuel quality when the Audi S3 cannot?

Following these inquiries, Audi, who was caught off guard, is now evading customer inquiries by stating that their technical team does not directly engage with customers.
