The 2017 Audi RS Q3 Performance has been unveiled with, as you’d expect, more power and torque than the regular RS Q3.
Under the bonnet there’s a different version of the RS Q3’s 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine, which now boasts 270kW of power, as well as 465Nm of torque available between 1625 and 5500rpm.
That’s up 20kW and 15Nm on the run-of-the-mill RS Q3, and line-ball with the numbers quoted for the 2.5-litre motor used in the RS3 Sportback. Drive is sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
