Audi has launched its most powerful SUV in India. The RS Q8 is the high-performance version of the Q8 and prices start at Rs. 2.07 crore. Compared to the regular Q8, the RS version commands a premium of Rs. 74 lakh.

The RS Q8 is powered by a 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 engine with a mild-hybrid system developing 591 BHP and 800 Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. The SUV is claimed to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. Users can raise the top speed to 304 km/h via optional dynamic package. It also gets RS-specific damper tuning and an RS mode button on the steering wheel.

The RS Q8 features a distinct bodykit compared to the regular Q8 and gets 22-inch wheels. It has an RS roof spoiler.  On the inside, it gets Alcantara upholstery with RS flat-bottom steering wheel, dual touchscreens and a digital instrument cluster. Optional equipment includes RS Matrix LED headlamps, RS head-up display, RS sport seats, and Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System.
