Remember the limited-edition TT RS iconic edition Audi revealed last week? Well, the Ingolstadt-based manufacturer has now unveiled a brand-new special-edition model, handing the RS Q3 an “exclusive” anniversary package. Limited to only 555 examples worldwide, meet the RS Q3 edition 10 years. Celebrating a decade of the RS Q3, the special-edition package is available in the SUV-styled model and Sportback derivative.
To celebrate the sports crossover’s 10th anniversary, Audi is offering the RS Q3 edition 10 years with two “expressive” exterior paint colours. These are Dew Silver matte and Chronos Grey metallic. Another “exclusive” addition to the package is black 21-inch light alloy wheels wrapped in 225/35 rubber. Carbon fibre-reinforced ceramic brakes are available as an option.
The exterior also features numerous black or glossy black trim bits. The matrix LED headlamps have been darkened. The roof frame, window slot rims, and door trim are available in glossy black. The same applies to the blades on the front spoiler and the diffuser insert.
The cabin features new RS bucket seats. The pews are trimmed in a combination of leather and the German marque’s Dinamica upholstery. Infotainment is taken care of by Audi’s 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen system, here with a carbon look.
As a reminder, the RS Q3 is equipped with the company’s 2.5-litre five-pot. The turbocharged engine produces 294 kW and 480 Nm of torque, the latter available from 2 250 r/min to 5 850 r/min. Audi claims a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4.5 seconds for the SUV and Sportback derivatives. The top speed is rated at 250 km/h. However, this figure can be lifted to 280 km/h when ticking the correct option box.
