Audi showed up at the 2012 North American International Auto Show with a few interesting models. Arguably the most sought-after model of the lot is the Q3 Vail Concept, a show car that anticipates the ‘RS’ version of the popular Q3 SUV from the German carmaker. Under its bonnet pulses a 2.5-litre TFSI engine producing 314 hp and 400 Nm of peak torque, which provides the car with a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of 5.5 seconds with 262 km/h (163 mph).

Another interesting presence at the Audi stall in Detroit is the new generation of the Audi A6, the new sedan from the four-ring house, powered by a brand new 4.0-litre twin turbo TFSI V8 delivering 420 hp and 550 Nm of torque. It is the same unit used by the Audi S8 and the newly unveiled Bentley Continental GT V8 range, although with modified supercharger and electronics.

The third important model brought to Detroit by the Ingolstadt-based carmaker is the Audi A4 Allroad, which has just undergone its mid-life restyling. Check them all out in our photo gallery taken at the Audi stand in Detroit.
