Big Enough Stick To Battle? Audi To Take On Mercedes GLA AMG 45 With 362 Horsepower RS Q3 Crossover

Performance version of RS Q3 crossover announced before Geneva show reveal, gets same power as RS 3 hatch

Audi has introduced a new range-topping version of its smallest SUV; called the RS Q3 Performance, it packs 362bhp and 465Nm of torque making it the most powerful version of the Q3 ever produced.

It will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March and costs from £49,175 in the UK. Fitted with the same 2.5-litre five-cylinder TFSI engine as the standard RS Q3, Audi has extracted an additional 27bhp and 15Nm of torque to bring it into line with the latest RS 3 hatch.

NOTE:
The article does not suggest that Audi is "taking on" the Mercedes GLA AMG 45. That's just the click-baiting and argument-inspiring subject.

Why does the article have to explicitly state it? It should be a common connection when you have two very comparably powered, comparably structured, and comparably priced products.
