You don’t have to be a kitesurfer to get a kick out of this sporty Q3.
Further underscoring the importance of the emerging and potentially huge Chinese market, Audi took the wraps off two Q3 concepts at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show: the sporty Q3 RS and the more playful Q3 Jinlong Yufeng, a model strongly influenced by the fast-moving sport of kitesurfing.
The words "Jinlong Yufeng" translate to "Golden Dragon in the Wind," thus helping to explain why there are two kiteboards mounted to the roof of this compact crossover SUV, which also has a flat outdoor pouch that can be used as a special cargo floor liner or as a place to stow wet beach articles. There's also a kite, specially designed for this Q3, which can be stored in a different pouch. Topping it all off are two rugged outdoor cameras known as "Audi Cams" that can be mounted to the Q3's sail bar or perhaps even the kitesurfer's helmet. Images from these cameras can be transmitted to this special Q3 via a strong WLAN connection, and then be sent via Bluetooth to any receiver via UTMS, which is all within the realm of possibility for Audi's Connect system.
