Audi is rounding out the V8 Twin-Turbo powered Audi Q8 with the uprated RS Q8 SUV with an output of 600PS but also by adding a new, second version to the top model in the series: the RS Q8 SUV performance. Its increased output of 640PS makes the SUV the most powerful series-produced combustion model in the history of Audi Sport GmbH.

Both vehicles boast high-performance driving dynamics thanks to an optimized, self-locking centre differential while guaranteeing an equally impressive suitability for everyday use.

The exterior of the RS Q8 SUV and RS Q8 SUV performance take their cues from the recently upgraded Q8 SUV.

The RS Q8 accelerates 0-62mph in just 3.8 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 155mph. Thanks to its increased output of 640PS and 850Nm of torque, the RS Q8 SUV performance accelerates from 0-62mph in just 3.6 seconds and can hit a top speed of 174mph.

Full UK pricing and specifications will be announced in July, ahead of the first customer deliveries in September.
