Audi
unveiled a new version of their Q3 crossover plus a new and thoroughly
upgraded RS Q3. If it weren’t for the Audi RS Q3, this mini-SUV range
could have won the title of the most mind-numbingly boring crossover in
the world
But The RS version exists, and it is a
very impressive little car, boasting a 2.5-litre, five?cylinder engine
with 340PS and 450 Nm (331.9 lb?ft) of torque in the latest model.
Thanks to a new RS exhaust system, the engine sings all the way from 0 to 60 mph, which takes only 4.8 seconds, and then on to 155 mph.
2015 Audi RS Q3
benefits from the fifth generation Quattro AWD system with hydraulic
multi?plate clutch and comes as standard with a seven?speed S tronic
transmission. The RS treatment also adds large eight-piston calipers
brakes, and sport suspension which can be optionally fitted with
electronically controlled damping adjustable via Audi drive select.
Visually, you can tell Audi RS Q3 apart from normal models thanks to high-gloss black honeycomb
front grille and RS bumpers, a special front treatment including a
quattro emblem in the air intake and a distinctive rear diffuser insert
flanked by a large elliptical tailpipe, 20-inch wheels and a roof
spoiler.
Inside you will find Nappa leather
seats with contrast stitching, red needles on grey dials in the
instrument cluster and a Driver’s Information System offering a special
RS menu with lap timer, oil temperature and boost pressure displays set
the tone.
