The first S3 was the Roadster Sport 3.0 without the spare wheel and a narrowed choice of colours and interior. The powers enhanced to somewhat 230 Hp from 204 Hp re the S2 but it was basically the same engine with a new mapping and slightly bigger manifold tubes as far as I remember. After the launch of the Sports bespoked Roadsters were offered as well. One indication of S3 is the wider front axles and therefore a more parallel shape in comparison to the S2 trapezoid shape.
