Audi RS Q8Audi crowns its Q8 series twice: In addition to the RS model, which has now been revamped as part of a face lift, there is now a performance variant with 40 extra horsepower and a Nordschleife record. Prices for the sporty, optimized SUV coupé start at 142,000 euros, the new top variant costs from 155,700 euros. The all-wheel drive is powered by the 4.0-liter biturbo V8 with mild hybrid technology and at least 441 kW/600 hp known from the previous model. The performance model has 471 kW/640 hp available, making this variant the most powerful series-produced combustion engine model in the company’s history. To underline this, the Ingolstadt-based company sent its SUV flagship to the Nürburgring, where it set a new lap record for the SUV class (7:36.698 minutes). During the standard sprint, the performance model reaches 100 km/h after 3.6 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds faster than the standard RS. The top speed is 250 km/h in both variants, but can be increased to 280 km/h if desired.
