Audi reveals hot SUV

Audi has unveiled its new high-performance RS Q3 ahead of its Geneva Motor Show debut. It becomes the latest addition to Audi’s growing RS lineup, and will be the first RS model to cost less than $100,000 when it goes on sale in the first quarter of 2014. Boasting a new 228kW turbocharged five-cylinder engine, the compact SUV is capable of 0-100km/h in just 5.5 seconds, yet will use just 8.8L/100km.

Audi has unveiled its new high-performance RS Q3 ahead of its Geneva Motor Show debut.

It's the latest addition to Audi’s growing RS lineup, and will be the first RS model to cost less than $100,000 when it goes on sale in the first quarter of 2014.

Boasting a new 228kW turbocharged five-cylinder engine, the compact SUV is capable of 0-100km/h in just 5.5 seconds, yet will use just 8.8L/100km.

Audi has also used a unique ignition sequence for the 2.5-litre engine, designed to deliver a sound similar to the iconic powerplants that made Audi so popular in the late 1980s.

A seven-speed S tonic gearbox shifts the power to all four wheels, with RS Q3 also given unique visual highlights to separate it from the rest of the Q3 range.
