It was only a matter of time before the RS badge adorned one of Audi's 'Q' family, and first in line is the Q3. The Audi RS Q3 concept follows a familiar RS formula by pumping up the styling and plumbing in an outrageous engine, sending power to all four wheels. In this case it's a development of the 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged unit from the TT-RS and RS3, tuned to produce 360 hp. That's 20 hp more than any of its previous applications, and enough to power it from 0-62 mph in 5.2 seconds on to a top speed of 165 mph. Finished in matte Ordos blue with 20-inch wheels and splashes of color-coded carbon fiber, it looked seriously good on the stand. Audi says it's merely exploring the possibility of a production model, but reading between the lines, you should be able to buy one by next year.
