Engine

The Audi RS Q8 represents the most extreme expression of Audi’s performance SUV philosophy, combining the practicality of a full-size luxury SUV with the performance of a serious sports car. Positioned at the top of the Q8 range, it shares its core architecture, twin-turbo V8 engine and key chassis technologies with the Lamborghini Urus and the Porsche Cayenne. This shared engineering translates into immense power, impressive stability and sharp handling for a vehicle of its size. In everyday use, the RS Q8 manages to balance brutal performance with genuine luxury. The cabin offers premium materials, advanced infotainment and strong practicality, while the adaptive suspension keeps the ride composed. However, its high price and running costs make it a niche choice for most buyers.

Pros & Cons of RS Q8

It shares its DNA with the Lamborghini Urus - same platform and engine.

This 2494 kg SUV can do 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds.

Can also be used as a daily driver considering its comfortable ride.

It looks much more handsome and sharper than the regular Q8.

The exhaust note could have been better.

Despite its outstanding screens and interior layout, it appears outdated when compared to other German luxury SUVs.

Not as practical as other Audi cars.

The 4.0L V8 drinks fuel like a fish.
