The 2014 Audi RS Q3 arrives lower than previously released models. Seen here in both blue and red, the new Audi is almost an inch lower than its predecessors, which should provide more aerodynamic performance and improve handling since its center of gravity is closer to the ground.
The 2014 Audi RS Q3 will officially be unveiled in the flesh at the 2013 Geneva International Motor Show in early March, however Audi recently released these images and specs to get auto enthusiasts talking. The car tops out at an electronically governed 250 km/hr (155mph). Electronically governed top speeds are becoming more and more common and this car continues the trend. The car can go from zero to 62 mph in 5.5 seconds.
Its retail price will be in the $73,000 ballpark.
What's Driving This Trend
- Low-profile Luxury Cars
- Automakers can consider creating luxury cars with lower profiles to improve handling and aerodynamics, which can appeal to performance car enthusiasts.
- Electronically-governed Top Speeds
- As electronically-governed top speeds become more common, car manufacturers can focus on optimizing the acceleration and handling of their vehicles for improved performance on the road.
- Aerodynamic Design
- Using more aerodynamic designs in cars can lead to improved handling and fuel efficiency, which can attract customers looking for better performance and cost savings.
Who This Affects Most
- Automotive
- Automakers can continue to push the limits of performance and design to attract customers looking for luxury cars with improved handling and speed.
- Technology
- As electronically-governed top speeds become more common, technology companies can develop systems to optimize acceleration and handling, leading to faster and more efficient cars.
- Design
- As aerodynamic design becomes increasingly important in the automotive industry, designers can focus on developing sleek and efficient designs that improve performance and appeal to customers.
