New Audi RS Q8 is faster than Porsche Cayenne Turbo

The premiere of the flagship crossover Audi RS Q8 took place - the novelty "inherited" the moderate-hybrid power plant and interior from the RS6 / RS7 models and distinguished itself with a special sports chassis tuning. The RS Q8, as expected, became the fastest SUV Audi: the first hundred coupe exchanges in 3.8 seconds - 0.1 faster than the current Cayenne Turbo.

Externally, the most powerful "ku-eighth" is distinguished by an aggressive grille with an enlarged air intake, original bumpers with contrasting gray, black or carbon inserts, a developed diffuser, huge 22- or 23-inch discs, red brake calipers of increased size and a proprietary RS-series exhaust with two branch pipes divorced along the edges. In addition, the novelty can be distinguished by the decor - nameplates and the color of the mirrors. Matrix headlights are optional.

The technical stuffing of the RS Q8 is familiar from the current RS6 wagon and the RS7 liftback - under the hood is the same four-liter V8 engine with double supercharging, working in conjunction with a 48-volt starter-generator and an eight-band "automatic". The peak output of the hybrid system - 600 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque The RS Q8 accelerates from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.8 seconds - the same amount spent on the starting spurt of the new 625-horsepower BMW X6 M Competition crossover or 680-horsepower hybrid Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid. The Lamborghini Urus is faster - accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour takes 3.6 seconds.
