Just before the Audi RS Q3 was set to debut at the China Auto show, the details on this remarkable car have been made available. The Audi RS Q3 compact SUV comes with a lowered body and has been widened to reflect its dynamic performance.

Refined styling for Audi RS Q3

The engine in the Audi RS Q3 is a 2.5 litre TFSI which produces 265 kW (360hp). The car flies from 0-100km/h in just 5.2 seconds and has a top speed of 265 km/h. The transmission is a 7-speed S tronic which can redistribute the force between the front and the back of the car if a slip is detected. This is done via a hydraulic multi-plate clutch with electronic control.

Other features of the styling that differentiate the RS from the standard Q3 include: The headlights are slightly tinted, the bumper has been redesigned, there are powerful edges around the outer air intakes, the front spoiler is made of CFRP and the entire lower section of the bumper has been coated in clearcoat paint. The interior of the Audi RS Q3 is done in blue and black, with the seats done in Nappa leather.
