I actually read the article, unlike you. I'm simply repeating Audi's claims. The standard x1 35i is as fast or faster than the RS Q3 and has better steering. Period.

As with the TT RS, the RS Q3 Concept's I-5 produces 360 hp and likely the same 343 lb-ft of torque. Though the TT RS allows drivers to row their own gears, the RS Q3 Concept uses a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. As expected in an Audi RS model, Quattro all-wheel drive is standard, though it appears to be front-drive based, only routing power to the rear wheels when slip is detected. Audi expects the sportiest of Q3s to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 5.2 seconds, on to a 165-mph top speed.
