AUDI RS Q3 CONCEPT UNVEILED

Post by TimDogg » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:02 pm

Hmmm, I'm not loving it - anyone? I mean honestly, what is the point of that? It must weigh close to 2 tonne and only has 360bhp from the TTRS - and it's stolen my favourite f*****g colour arrrrgggghhh!

They need a sportier version of the Q3, but this isn't the one. That weight and that engine would have terrible mpg (for a new production car).

Never thought I would say this, but that looks really nice, I like it. Still don't like the fact the 'RS' badge is slowly becoming less exclusive and more like the 'M' brand, hopefully it will come as an 'S' when it hits production, this would be the first RS Audi that doesn't have a sub 5 sec 0-60 time won't it?

:shock:
That's mental, that's laying down a full 100 section more than the stock C5s and B7s. The power steering pump could moonlight as a 1.9TDi replacement.

It does look good but this will devalue the RS brand. Ok as an S.
