We may have come up with a brilliant idea - any car that goes to the drag strip should be required to include a child seats. Children love fast cars and we should make sure more and more of them get to ride in such vehicles. While we think this will guarantee the survival of the automotive aficionado species, you may want to know where our inspiration came from.
Our... muse is an Audi Q5 3.0 TFSI V6 , modified by the US specialist AWE Tuning. Oh and this happens to be the fastest Q5 in the world, at least in a straight line.
The crossover recently palyed the quarter mile game, with the result being a 12.502-second run at 109,52 mph. With a child seat inside, of course. As for the other details, the vehicle was in full daily driving form, with the spare tire still in place. It ran on its stock wheels and tires, while using 93 Octane pump gas.
AWE Tuning didn’t release the specs, but they did offer us the list of upgrades:
AWE Tuning Audi Q5 3.0T S-FLO Filter
AWE Tuning Audi Q5 3.0T S-FLO Carbon Cover
AWE Tuning 3.0T Stage 2 Performance Pulley Kit
AWE Tuning Q5 3.0T Touring Edition Exhaust (pre-release production version)
Oh and by the way, for those wondering what the SQ5 (same engine, different state of OEM tune) can do in the quarter mile, we’ll mention this comes with a 13.5-second ability.
