What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
It will do 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.8-seconds and trying to comprehend this will hurt your brain. The only way to accept this is to experience it. Sadly even this experience is muted and as a driver, you feel like you're just holding on to a PlayStation controller. It's the Audi Achilles Heel, mind-blowing performance when you start with the numbers, but it all lacks the visceral experience that should be part and parcel of a machine this quick.

What is the Audi RS Q8 quattro like inside?
As can be expected from such a premium SUV, the Audi RS Q8 quattro comes with high-quality upholstery and stitching throughout the spacious cabin. The dashboard, digital instrument cluster and dual touch displays for the infotainment and climate control systems give the vehicle a very futuristic look and feel on the interior.
Style
The RS Q8 takes the very different and unique styling of the Q8 and combines it with performance-inspired design cues. Upfront feature a sharper and more angular design on the bumper and splitter and this theme extends to the side skirting and the rear diffuser. Overall, like the e-tron, the RS Q8 is very unique in the Audi line-up and will turn heads.
