The new Audi RS7 Sportback and the pocket-rocket Audi RS Q3 will soon arrive in the UK, with the RS7 costing from £83,495 and the RS Q3 from £43,000.

The Audi RS7 Sportback & Audi RS Q3 (pictured) get priced.
We’ve had the reveal of two new Audi RS cars in 2013, with the Audi RS7 Sportback bowing in at the Detroit Motor Show and the Audi RS Q3 arriving at Geneva.
The RS Q3 – a proper little pocket-rocket compact SUV – will cost £43,000. It gets the Audi 5-cylinder, 2.5 litre engine with 306bhp and 310lb/ft of torque, which is enough to get to 62mph in just 5.5 seconds. Despite the performance the RS Q3 records and official average economy of 32.1mpg.
The new Audi RS7 Sportback – with the underpinnings from the RS6 Avant – is a lot more expensive at £83,495, but that’s hardly surprising when you look at the immense power on offer.
The RS7 comes with the same 4.0 litre V8 biturbo petrol as the RS6 which means it has 552bhp to play with, enough to get the swoopy coupe to 62mph in just 3.9 seconds. And it will be able to get its power down thanks to its permanent 4wd.
The RS7 is limited to 155mph, but if you want to dig in to the options list you can shell out on the Dynamic Package, when the top speed goes up to 174mph, or dig even deeper and opt for Dynamic Plus and you can barrel down the Autobahn at 189mph.
Officially, the RS7 returns a frankly ubelievable 28.8mpg thanks to stop-start and cylinder on demand technology, but if any owner in the real world gets better than 20mpg we’ll be astonished.
Both the new Audi RS Q3 and RS7 Sportback will start arriving in Audi’s UK showrooms in early 2014.
