Experience The-New 2021 Audi RS Q8 - Luxury Performance SUV https://youtu.be/mox0flNsiGk

With a whopping 591 horsepower under the hood, the 2021 Audi RS Q8 is the ultimate Audi SUV, borrowing elements from the outrageous Lamborghini Urus while still incorporating the German luxury brand's signature styling. All models come with Quattro all-wheel drive as standard, and Audi says this beast can leap to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. The cabin is layered with premium materials—including nappa leather upholstery and your choice of either genuine carbon-fiber trim or wood accents. All of Audi's latest tech gadgets are standard here, too, including the Virtual Cockpit digital gauge display and dual-screen infotainment system. Not into performance SUVs? Audi offers this same bonkers powertrain in the svelte RS6 Avant station wagon.

The RS Q8 comes with a six-figure price tag, but its performance, styling, and featured content are likely to be worth the investment. All RS Q8 models come with a standard adaptive air suspension system, 22-inch wheels, heated and ventilated front seats, and a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo system.

The RS Q8 has a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine that produces 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with the Quattro all-wheel-drive system and an eight-speed automatic, and there's also a 48-volt hybrid system to improve fuel efficiency. Audi claims a zero-to-60-mph time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 189 mph.

The RS Q8's five-seat cabin is mostly the same as the Q8's, although it has some special trim pieces and sportier, more aggressively bolstered front seats to hold you in place while cornering. There are also RS logos sprinkled throughout. Passenger and cargo space carries over unchanged from the regular Q8 model, which means plenty of legroom and headroom for adults in both rows of seats. In our testing, the Q8 held eight carry-on suitcases behind its rear seat and 23 in total with the rear seat folded.
