Audi

offers an SUV that’s a hair smaller than the

Q3

in Europe called the

Q2

. It’s a bit shorter and more rakish than the Q3,

which we just drove

. Now there’s a performance version aptly named the SQ2. We won’t get this either of course, but there’s a good chance we’ll see an SQ3 eventually.

What the SQ2 looks like mechanically though, is a

Golf R

on stilts. Also comparable to the

S3

, this SQ2 has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 296 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Audi says the small SUV will get to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds, also similar to the cars that engine finds itself in. A seven-speed dual-clutch is the only transmission option. It sends power to all four wheels using Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system.

There’s an S sports suspension that lowers the car 0.79 inch and stiffens things up a bit. Either 18-inch or optional 19-inch wheels are available with 235 width tires. The brakes are much larger on this S model too — 13.4-inch rotors up front and 12.2-inches at the rear.

Calipers

can be painted in black or red to look a bit flashier too.

Unfortunately, this picture is the only one Audi is showing until the car is officially revealed at the

Paris Motor Show

next week. Stay tuned.
