Audi RS Q8 Quattro SUV 2021 Radio Review

Audi RS Q8 is the top of their performance SUV range and is a culmination of sheer power, beauty, comfort and functionality.

Launched in late 2020 the RSQ8 has stunning looks and inside it is unbelievably comfortable and roomy enough to take a family in comfort.

The heart is a 4.0-litre TFSI V8 engine with twin turbochargers, and develops an impressive power output of 441kW and torque of 800Nm driving all four wheels through the Quattro system and an eight speed tiptronic transmission.

It will rocket from 0-100kmh in 3.8 seconds which is close to a McClaren 540C and will top out a t a governed 250kmh but there an option with ceramic brakes that will go to 305kmh

Well it’s not often said that a $210,000 plus car could be considered a bargain, but when you add up the level of sophistication, dynamics, performance and features for the price, then there isn’t much even close to the RS Q8.

It’s a family long distance cruiser, perfect for trips to the snow and perhaps when you are by yourself, find a nice quiet tight twisty section of road and let rip. Within speed limits of course!
