Say hello to the most powerful Audi SUV yet. With a turbo charge V8 engine, the new Audi RS Q8 combines the power of an Audi Sport model with the stature of a premium SUV; sitting firmly at the top of both Q and RS ranges.

Wheels

• 22” x 10.0J '10-spoke star' design Audi Sport alloy wheels in galvano silver with 295/40 R22 tyres
  

• Tool kit

• Tyre repair kit

• Anti-theft wheel bolts and wheel loosening detection
  

Performance and suspension

• RS-specific - Adaptive Air Suspension – electronically controlled air suspension with a stiffer adaptive damping system for all four wheels which regulates ride height and damping automatically. The ride height will vary depending on which Audi Drive Select mode is selected via the MMI system. Also includes loading level lowering (-65mm compared with auto) via additional buttons in the luggage compartment

• quattro® all-wheel drive with sport differential - permanent all-wheel drive with dynamic torque distribution. The electronically regulated Sport differential distributes variable amounts of driving force to each wheel ensuring improved acceleration performance when cornering, better steering characteristics and more agile handling

• RS Audi Drive Select - features 8 modes (Auto, Comfort, Dynamic, Efficiency, Off-road, All-road, RS1 and RS2). These modes allow the driver to electronically adjust the engine, transmission and steering and air suspension. The individually configurable modes RS1 and RS2 can be easily accessed using the RS mode button on the steering wheel directly

• Electromechanical active roll stabilisation - for improved agility, ride and steering precision. During high speeds body roll is reduced, the car leans less in bends and the tendency to understeer is further reduced

• All Wheel Steering - Improves the driving dynamics and the driving comfort as a result of additional steerability of the rear axle. At lower speeds, the rear axle self-steers oppositely to the steering angle of the front axle. This results in higher agility and a smaller steering angle, making manoeuvring easier. At higher speeds, steering in the same direction improves the responsiveness, as well as the driving dynamics, cornering and vehicle stability

• RS steel brakes, black brake callipers with 'RS' logo
