Audi celebrates 10 years anniversary of RS Q3 with Edition

Not only the Jaguar F-Type, but also the Audi RS Q3 went into production for the first time in 2013. That is why Audi is now launching the RS Q3 Edition 10 years, which should celebrate the tenth anniversary of Audi’s smallest RS-SUV. The brand does this by providing a RS Q3, which is limited to 555 copies, with a number of unique features. That starts with the wheels, which always measure 21 inches under the ‘Edition 10 years’ and are given a unique design. For the birthday present carriage, the Audi customer can choose from two shades of gray. ‘Dew Silver matte effect’ has been available on the RS Q3 since the beginning of this year, the metallic ‘Chronos Grey’ is new and unique for the Edition 10 years.

The latter also applies to the carbon fiber finish that you will find on the back of the front seats. Audi had little inspiration for the further decoration of the Edition 10 years: just like the TT RS Iconic Edition presented last week, the RS Q3 is fitted with all kinds of black accents. Audi also tints the headlights of the compact performance SUV. Both in terms of motor and chassis, Audi left the RS Q3 untouched for the Edition 10 years. That means that the car – just like the RS Q3 from ten years ago – does with a blown five-cylinder under its hood. Where that block was good for 310 hp in 2013, it sends 400 hp towards the asphalt via all four wheels in the current second generation RS Q3.

It is not yet clear what the Edition 10 years in the Netherlands will cost. In Germany, it can be ordered from the end of this month, for an additional cost of €5,990 compared to a regular Q3. Both the regular Q3 and the Q3 Sportback can be ordered in the limited trim.
