What's special about the Audi RS Q8?

Built on the same platform as the Lamborghini Urus, the German manufacturer claims standstill to 100kmph in just 3.8 seconds thanks to the 4.0-liter TFSI twin-turbo V8 petrol burner with an 8-speed automatic transmission that makes a huge 599PS and 800Nm of mammoth grunt. This massive horsepower is sent to all four wheels through Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system.

The top speed of the car is electronically limited to the 250kmph. However, the voluntary RS dynamic package plus offers a risen top speed of 305kmph. Its ability to shut four-cylinders when not required aids to fuel efficiency. Additionally, it gets a 48V mild-hybrid system for torque-assist and ensures high efficiency.
