Sending power to all four wheels via Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system, the model can attain speeds of 100kmph from a standstill in 3.8 seconds.
Design highlights of the new Audi RS Q8 include aggressive front and rear bumpers, new single-frame grille, integrated rear diffuser, RS-spec spoiler and 22-inch alloy wheels. The interiors of the model receive sport seats, leather and alcantara trims, virtual cockpit and an RS-spec flat-bottom steering wheel.
