1:18 2019 Audi RSQ3 – Blue

Description

About the car

The RS Q3 houses the famous turbocharged 5-cylinder under its hood. However, it logically benefits from the technological evolutions brought by the new generation Q3.  Indeed, it inherits the latest evolution of the 2.5 turbo 5-cylinder, which appeared at the end of 2016 on the TT RS and has since been adopted by the RS3. Now featuring an aluminum block, this engine has lost 26 kg. Meanwhile, it has received a turbo blowing at 1.35 bar as well as a bi-injection system. As a result, while it did not exceed 367 horsepower in the previous RS Q3, it now boasts a full 400. That’s enough to propel this 1,715-kg SUV quickly, with a 0-100 km/h time of 4.5 seconds.
