An SUV such as the Q3 is assumed to possess the classic characteristics of a Sport Utility Vehicle: sporty and versatile but, despite that, in the main the good friend for the whole family – and in general that is the case.
But specifically in MTM’s case, while not challenging these characteristics, it interprets them – in typical company style – rather more generously. For example, the MTM RS Q3 TSI is powered by an extremely potent 2.5 litre displacement five-cylinder in-line engine. 560 Nm of torque make for considerable thrust in all speed ranges and the 100 km/h mark is reached and left behind after a mere 4.9 seconds.
The top speed is – provisionally – 268 km/h. Provisionally, because an upgrade is in the offing for the current power output of 424 hp. A 504 hp power unit is currently undergoing the obligatory endurance test on the test rig.
A harmonious coordination of engine and driving performance is ensured by a 380 X 34 mm calibre MTM brake on the front axle combined with a carbon diffuser for optimal downforce and with a KW DDC chassis riding on Michelin Super Velours 275/35 ZR 20 tyres mounted on 9 x 20 bimoto wheels.
