We knew an Audi SQ2 was coming. It was logical that Audi would crown its smallest crossover"s range with a go-fast, look-at-my-four-exhaust-pipes flagship. But we didn"t think it would be this fast. The new Audi SQ2 is, as it turns out, a bit of a closet rocketship. The SQ2 uses the VW Group"s ubiquitous 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but instead of bowing in in Golf GTI tune (242bhp), it"s working at a full-fat 296bhp and 295lb ft the same muscle as the VW Golf R. Or, indeed, Audi S3. No wonder it"s quick.
