Audi A6 L and RS Q3 Concept Set to Bow at Auto China
Audi will be giving us three world premieres on Monday at the Auto China car show in Beijing, unveiling the RS Q3 concept(shown above), another car based on the Audi Q3 and a technology platform for an Audi A6 L.
The Chinese market has embraced the long wheelbase in recent years, and automakers have been accommodating by building new long wheelbase models to be made available only for the Chinese market. The A6 L technology platform is meant to capitalize on this growing interest in long wheelbase vehicles, and the surge in luxury car sales in China.
The Audi RS Q3 concept is a 360 hp turbocharged version of Audi’s Q3 small SUV. It is also outfitted with a new meaner look to match its upgraded power. While the RS Q3 is still only a concept, it looks production ready and would have very little competition in the small sports performance SUV segment.
The other Q3 based vehicle is a mystery, but based on its Chinese debut, it may be some sort of Chinese only special edition. We will have to wait and see.
