Audi has yet to confirm if its newest and smallest crossover, the 2012 Audi Q3 will be headed to the US, but there are already reports that Audi is working on a high-performance version, dubbed the Q3 RS. 2012_audi_Q3_new_fr4.jpg

The latest reports claim that an Audi Q3 RS is slated for a release in Europe by the fall of 2012. The Audi Q3 RS is expected to be powered by the same 300 horsepower turbocharged 2.5L engine as the TT RS and RS3. In addition to the more powerful engine, the Q3 RS will also get suspension upgrades and some styling updates.

If the Q3 does ever come to the US, lets hope the Q3 RS does as well…
