7 Fast Cars The Audi RS Q3 'Performance' Can Beat To 62mph

Whether you like the car or not, the five-pot-powered RS Q3 is now crazy fast thanks to a new 'performance' version. In fact, its 4.4sec 0-62mph time makes it quicker than a surprising array of fast cars...
7 Fast Cars The Audi RS Q3 'Performance' Can Beat To 62mph

Out of the wide range of RS machines from Audi, the RS Q3 is one we’re less keen on. It’s undeniably fast however, and now thanks to the ‘performance’ version, it’s faster than ever.

Yours for a rather considerable £49,175, the performance features - as well as some exterior tweaks and a bit of extra equipment - a 27bhp and 11lb ft boost over the standard model. This has slashed four tenths off the 0-62mph time to bring the figure down to 4.4 seconds, while the top speed is 167mph.

That 4.4 second figure got us thinking: what cars can this chubby-looking crossover now beat to 62mph? Here are a few that come to mind…

Seriously, why would you prefer a RS Q3 over eg a RS3/4?

Would rather buy the Macan S if I had to buy a crossover at that price point.

BMW, 991.2 and Audi don’t count because they underrate the performance figures when in reality they’re faster.
