March 22, 2019: To ring in the new spring season, Aïshti announced the Christmas draw winner of the Audi RSQ3 at an outdoor ceremony on Friday, March 22, 2019 at Aïshti by the Sea, Antelias. Guests attended the event as the winner was selected under the supervision of a Lebanese National Lottery representative.
Mr Joseph Khoury, holder of ticket number 5262, was the lucky winner of the exceptional Audi RSQ3, which was on display when the ticket was drawn. The draw was followed by a gathering hosted by Aïshti and Ets. F.A. Kettaneh, S.A, Audi’s exclusive importer in Lebanon.
The Aïshti-Audi draw entitled customers who purchased goods to the value of $200 or more at Aïshti during the Christmas holiday season to enter the draw for a chance to win the exciting Audi car.
The RSQ3 is the high-performance model from Audi in the compact SUV segment. Its turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine delivers 250 kW (340 hp) and 450 Nm of torque. It thus accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds on its way to an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h. Its combined fuel consumption is 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers– for a CO2 equivalent of 198 grams per kilometer. An RS exhaust system with a switchable flap adds even more volume to the unmistakable sound of the 2.5 TFSI engine. Since 2010, an international jury of journalists has repeatedly chosen this engine as the “International Engine of the Year” in its class – a total of eight times in a row.
Speaking about his win, Mr.Joseph enthused “This is a lifetime dream for me as the Audi RSQ3 has always been my favorite Audi model and I can’t wait to enjoy it on the road”.
