Audi Q5 Custom Concept Photo Gallery
Sadly this Audi Q5 is just a custom concept car, but it would sit well as a SQ5 or RSQ5 hot version of the compact SUV.
The car in these photos has been given the supercharged 3-litre V6 from the S4, S5 Cabriolet and A6, stoked up an extra 55kW to give it peak power of 300kW – and apparently a 0-100km/h time of 4.4 seconds and top speed of 250km/h.
The Q5 concept is on show for the Wothersee Tour, the annual Volkswagen/Audi GTI meet in Austria, and has also been given the appropriate bling for the occasion from the accessories department.
The matt grey body paint is set off by red 21in versions of the RS4’s seven-doublespoke wheels, and red-accented nudge plate, roof rails and spoiler. The SUV is also 90mm wider and rides 60mm lower than the standard Q5.
A hot version of the Q5 could be a fair contender against the M version of BMW's compact X3, and might get a nod in a world that is looking more towards downsizing.
The Audi stand at the Wothersee Tour will also feature coupe and roadster versions of the TT RS with a 254kW 2.5-litre five-cylinder, which promises a 0-100km/h time under five seconds. Audi’s hero R8 supercar is also there in a special GT3 race version and in the ten-cylinder 5.2-litre production model that will top the range, with a 0-100km/h time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 315km/h.
