If there’s one thing future owners of the new Audi RS Q3 can be sure of, it is that the high-performance SUV can outrun and out-handle a pack of Siberian huskies pulling a dog sled on the snow – or at least that’s what we understand after seeing Ingolstadt’s first commercial for the Geneva motor show-bound model.
What makes the RS Q3 faster than a pack of blue-eyed pouches is a petrol-fuelled 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine that generates an output of 306hp (310PS) and peak torque of 420Nm (309.8 lb-ft).
A standard seven-speed S tronic dual clutch transmission and a quattro permanent all-wheel drive system take that power and channel it to all four wheels.
If you live in Europe, you’ll be able to get your hands on Audi’s first ever RS-badged SUV this autumn.
