VIDEO: Looks like Audi is planning a Q3 RS

Audi Q3 RS

A bit over a week ago we brought word that Audi has signed off on an ‘S’ version of its entry-level Q3 SUV. At the time it seemed odd they would use the 2.5 litre five cylinder engine from the RS3. So, perhaps they are considering a Q3 RS after all?

Reports suggest the power would be down from 340hp to 300hp. Such reports were given a huge nudge in credibility after Swedish site Sportbilen posted video of a test drive in the high-po Q3. Of course, the Q3 RS would feature a quattro all-wheel drive system, as well as a 7-speed S tronic transmission.

They were given an opportunity to drive the car at the presentation of the broader Q3 range. You’ll see and hear the five-pot growl after the break.

Wow! I was thinking the 125Kw TDI in the Q3 might be a good thing, but now there’s this to consider!

It’s not just the power Lima. Our X5M handled really well for such a massive car, and when you drive the X5 50i which also has lots of power, it just isn’t as well sorted out. Brakes are also a big thing for me.
