8. Audi Q3
Rather than being a family/off-road car the Q3 is aimed to be more of a lifestyle/sports car. It is a sport utility vehicle unlike her siblings the Q5 and Q7. The Q3 will have parts of Golf Mk5 (Volkswagen car), or Golf Mk6, for instance a Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) dual clutch transmission and 2.0 FSI turbo engine. The car should also feature a 3.0 turbo-diesel V6 & a 2.0 FSI turbo engine for the flagship. The production of this car is set to take place in Spain and the cost of moving will cost approximately €300 million.
