According to the folks over at Sweden’s Sportbilen, the prototype was uncovered during the European press launch of the new Audi Q3in Zurich, Switzerland. And mind you, this wasn’t a static presentation as the media had the chance to drive the pre-production model on the road.
The high-performance Q3 is said to be fitted with a de-tuned version of the 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine found in the RS3 hot hatch and the TT RS sports models, delivering 300-horsepower instead of 340HP. Power is transferred to all-four wheels through Audi’s quattro system and a 7-speed dual-clutch S-tronic transmission.
Watch the super-Q3 in action in the video below.
