"Further underscoring the importance of the emerging and potentially huge Chinese market, Audi took the wraps off two Q3 concepts at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show: the sporty Q3 RS and the more playful Q3 Jinlong Yufeng, a model strongly influenced by the fast-moving sport of kitesurfing.        Audi Q3 Jinlong Yufeng Concept    The words &amp;quot;Jinlong Yufeng&amp;quot; translate to &amp;quot;Golden Dragon in the Wind,&amp;quot; thus helping to explain why there are two kiteboards mounted to the roof of this compact crossover SUV, which also has a flat outdoor pouch that can be used as a special cargo floor liner or as a place to stow wet beach articles. There&amp;#039;s also a kite, specially designed for this Q3, which can be stored in a different pouch. Topping it all off are two rugged outdoor cameras known as &amp;quot;Audi Cams&amp;quot; that can be mounted to the Q3&amp;#039;s sail bar or perhaps even the kitesurfer&amp;#039;s helmet. Images from these cameras can be transmitted to this special Q3 via a strong WLAN connection, and then be sent via Bluetooth to any receiver via UTMS, which is all within the realm of possibility for Audi&amp;#039;s Connect system.        Audi Q3 Jinlong Yufeng Concept    As a Q3 for young and active sports enthusiasts, the Jinlong Yufeng is painted a monochromatic Liuli Yellow, and the add-on off-road-influenced body parts are painted a special matt quartz gray that is tough and slightly rough to the touch. In addition to an aluminum roof rail incorporating small LED spotlights that illuminate the area around this Q3, the Jinlong Yufeng has flared wheel arches and stainless steel running boards that add to the rugged look and will soon be included on the list of available accessories for the production Audi Q3, which is not yet sold in the U.S. but will arrive in 2013.        Audi Q3 Jinlong Yufeng Concept    Powering the Audi Q3 Jinlong Yufeng is Audi&amp;#039;s potent turbocharged 5-cylinder engine, a direct-injected unit that puts out 310 bhp from its 2480 cc of displacement. The powerplant\u2014with a red-painted cam cover and cylinder numbers individually marked\u2014sends power to all four wheels via a 7-speed S tronic transmission. Acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) is rated at a relatively swift 5.5 seconds, and the top speed is listed at 250 km/h (155 mph). Tires are healthy 255/45-20s, mounted on 8.5-in.-wide rims.        Audi Q3 Jinlong Yufeng Concept    Abundant aluminum accents are found inside this Beijing Q3 concept, where narrow strips of black leather just a few tenths of a millimeter wide are interwoven with yarn to create unique seat upholstery that is complemented by a Yellow Velvet leather used on the side cushions and door panels. Suede-like Alcantara covers the headliner, and the high-tech ambience is completed by mesh interior inlays made of stainless steel.        Audi Q3 Jinlong Yufeng Concept    Will a Q3 such as this sport-themed Jinlong Yufeng make it to the States in 2013? It&amp;#039;s possible, but we&amp;#039;d much rather get the sportier Q3 RS with 360 bhp. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
