Meet the
RS Q8

Big in stature. Big in performance.

Say hello to the most powerful Audi SUV yet. With a turbo charge V8 engine, the new Audi RS Q8 combines the power of an Audi Sport model with the stature of a premium SUV; sitting firmly at the top of both Q and RS ranges, it’s one of the most formidable cars in the 25-year history of Audi Sport.

Ultimate power for the ultimate SUV.

A 4.0-litre, turbocharged direct injection V8 petrol engine beats at the heart of the RS Q8. Producing some 600bhp, it accelerates from 0-62mph in just 3.8 seconds It’s a power you don’t just feel: with its unique ignition sequence, you can hear it too, in the unmistakable sound of the dual exhaust system. (And even customise it via the Audi Drive Select function.)

Precision engineering for precision handling.

Various systems harness the raw power of the RS Q8 for a sure-footed drive. There’s quattro with sport differential and wheel-selective torque control, distributing power between front and rear as speed and road conditions demand. Audi drive select offers 8 modes to suit your driving style. And RS-specific adaptive air sport suspension with controlled damping means the RS Q8 is ready for any surface - whether on the race track, or off the beaten track.

Equally powerful looks.

The sloping, coupé-like roofline tapering to a roof-edge spoiler gives the RS Q8 an immediate sporty appearance. The imposing 22-inch, 10-spoke design aluminium wheels come as standard and are the largest ever fitted on an Audi production model. Tinted RS Matrix LED headlights flank the single-frame grille, which has the characteristic gloss-black honeycomb RS design. And with front solid air intakes in gloss black, there’s no doubt: this car is all about performance.

The precision of the RS Q8’s engineering is echoed inside with a cabin – big enough for 5 - that’s precise and symmetrical in design. Both Audi Virtual Cockpit and MMI touch-response controls are embedded within the clean layout of the cockpit; the latter offering access to some of the car’s 30-plus driver assist systems and, with premium MMI navigation plus infotainment system, the RS Q8 appeals to all the senses.
