The Audi RS Q8 Performance is the most powerful SUV from Audi Sport, delivering an exhilarating blend of speed, luxury, and cutting-edge technology. This high-performance machine is designed for those who want supercar-level performance in an SUV.
Powerful Engine and Performance
At the heart of the RS Q8 Performance is a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing a staggering 631 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque. This allows the SUV to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds, making it one of the fastest SUVs on the market. The power is sent through an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system, ensuring excellent grip and handling.
For those who crave speed, Audi offers optional performance packages that push the top speed up to 305 km/h (189 mph), making it one of the fastest SUVs ever built.
Bold and Aggressive Design
The RS Q8 Performance features a muscular stance, with a redesigned front grille, larger air intakes, and a new rear diffuser for better aerodynamics. Matrix LED headlights and dynamic turn signals add to its modern appeal.
The SUV sits on 23-inch alloy wheels, giving it a sporty and dominant look, while RS-specific design elements set it apart from the standard Q8 models.
