At the auto show in Beijing, which will open next week, Audi will present the most powerful compact SUV in the world. It will be called RS Q3. Rather, RS Q3 Concept, since this model is still listed in the category prototypes.

The main "trick" the machine is hidden under the hood - there is a 2.5-liter petrol engine which, thanks to turbocharger, produces 360 hp While none of the serial crossover of this size can boast of a large number of "horses» - BMW X1 provides a maximum 245 horsepower, and other rivals in Q3 now, in fact, not. Because of this "herd", a 7-speed gearbox with double clutch, all-wheel drive, a more rigid suspension, a stylish 20-inch wheels and a new aerodynamic body kit, RS Q3 will be able to accelerate 0-100 km / h in 5.2 s ( 211-strong Q3 perform this exercise in 6.9 seconds). The maximum vehicle speed will be 265 km / h

How much will it cost the production version of the RS Q3, nobody knows. Most likely, the Germans still take some time to fine-tuning of ride characteristics RS Q3 to mind, but in September at the Paris Motor Show, we should see a full production-ready car.
