Audi has launched the RS Q8 Performance in India in an official avatar at a sticker price of ₹2.49 crore (ex-showroom). The most potent SUV from Audi in the nation, the car is a more powerful version of the RS Q8 with stronger power, enhanced dynamics, and cutting-edge tech, further reaffirming the brand’s grip on the premium SUV market.
Powerful Engine & Performance
The RS Q8 Performance is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, producing a staggering 641 bhp and 850 Nm of torque—an increase of 59 bhp over the standard RS Q8. This powerful engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds.
Enhanced Driving Dynamics
Audi has optimized suspension and steering mechanisms to enhance dynamics, and hence the RS Q8 Performance offers better agility for both urban as well as circuit driving. It features adaptive air suspension, quattro sport differential, and all-wheel steering that provides the car with maximum cornering accuracy as well as stability.
Aggressive Design & Premium Interiors
The RS Q8 Performance has an edgy design with a new front grille, greater air intakes, 23-inch alloy wheels, and Matrix LED headlights. The interiors include premium Alcantara trim, a 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit screen, RS-specific digital buttons, and a Bang & Olufsen 3D audio system for that immersive feel.
With its track-ready capability, premium-loaded cabin, and aggressive styling, the Audi RS Q8 Performance will now compete against opponents such as the Lamborghini Urus Performante and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT in India. Audi also officially opened the doors for booking for the SUV with deliveries slated to commence soon.
