Audi RS Q3: 10th anniversary of the sporty SUV

For ten years of marketing the Audi RS Q3, the brand offers it a special “10-year edition” series, limited to 555 copies. Obviously, it's the madness of Audi's special series!

After the iconic TT RS and R8 V10 GT RWD edition, it's time for the RS Q3 to receive its own limited series. This commemorates the tenth anniversary of the model in its sporty version, being therefore logically called the “10-year edition”.

The Audi RS Q3 10th Anniversary Edition is limited to 555 copies worldwide, including just 10 in France. With us, the special series is limited to the Sportback coupé version. This series is distinguished by specific elements, such as an original Chronos Gray metallic paintwork or a matt Silver Rosé color and 21-inch rims that recall the brand's “sphere” concept series.

Touches of glossy or matte black also make up this edition: interior of Matrix LED headlights, mirror shells, glass contour, roof, front bumper blades and rear diffuser, emblems and lettering.

On board, the RS Q3 opts for exclusive RS seats with a matte carbon backrest. The upholstery is in leather and black Dinamica (microfiber composed of 45% of recycled fibers), a material that is also found in the panel. The set is complemented by copper seams and carbon inserts.

The 10.1-inch touchscreen incorporates the vehicle number, while the illuminated door sills project a red 3D diamond onto the floor when the doors are opened.

Under the hood, the RS Q3 still carries its melodious five-cylinder 2.5 TFSI 400 hp. A power much higher than the 310 hp of the first generation of the RS Q3 launched in 2013.
