Audi Unveils Enhanced RS Q8 SUV Models
Featuring Performance And Luxury
Audi is elevating the realm of high-performance SUVs with the exclusive introduction of the new RS Q82 and RS Q8 performance models that debuted on June 27, 2024. These vehicles, a testament to Audi Sport’s innovation, combine raw power with refined design, setting a new standard in our lineup.
The RS Q82, with its heart-pounding 441 kW (600 PS) output and 800 Nm of torque, can launch from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.8 seconds. This model’s electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h can be upgraded to 280 km/h or 305 km/h.
On the other hand, the RS Q8 performance, Audi’s most powerful series-produced combustion model, delivers an astounding 471 kW (640 PS) and 850 Nm of torque. It can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds, promising an exhilarating driving experience.
Visually, both models sport a distinctive Audi Sport design language, highlighted by a new front apron with bold air intakes and a reinterpreted single-frame grille with a three-dimensional honeycomb structure. The rear features striking oval tailpipes and a sleek diffuser, ensuring a commanding presence on the road.
“The RS Q82 and RS Q8 performance embody Audi’s commitment to blending performance and everyday usability,” said Rolf Michl, Managing Director of Audi Sport. “These models not only redefine standards in their class but also deliver an unparalleled driving experience.”
Advanced Technologies
Advanced technologies underpin their performance capabilities, including permanent quattro all-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension sport with controlled damping. Optional electromechanical active roll stabilisation enhances agility and stability, minimising body roll during dynamic manoeuvres.
Audi’s commitment to personalisation extends to the interior, where you can tailor your vehicle with the new RS design packages and premium materials. Audi has also incorporated its latest lighting technology, including Matrix LED headlights and OLED rear lights, to enhance the sophisticated appeal of these models further.
The RS Q8 performance recently secured its position as the fastest SUV on the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife, completing the circuit in a record-breaking time.
The new Audi RS Q82 starts at €141,900, with the RS Q8 performance priced at €155,700. Orders for both models opened on June 27, 2024.
