About the Audi RS Q8
Launched in 2020 as the flagship of Audi's SUV range, the RS Q8 is a high-performance 'coupe-SUV' that shares its MLB Evo platform and twin-turbo V8 with the Lamborghini Urus. It famously set a Nürburgring lap record for production SUVs at 7:42.2, proving its immense mechanical grip and body control despite a kerb weight exceeding 2.3 tonnes. The driving experience is defined by its active roll stabilisation and all-wheel steering, which mask its bulk with surprising agility. Inside, it offers a tech-heavy cabin with Audi's Virtual Cockpit and RS-specific displays, making it a more understated and usable alternative to its flamboyant Italian sibling.
