The model

Read full review

The Audi RS Q8 is an outrageously fast sports SUV that corners with composure, mostly rides well and betters its rivals for practicality. Just bear in mind that the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupé is a bit more fun.

The trim

See full equipment

This trim boosts the RS Q8's already comprehensive specification with electric rear side sunblinds and rear-seat USB ports, but much of what it offers is cosmetic, including huge 23in alloy wheels, carbon fibre detailing inside and out, and leather for other interior surfaces besides the seats.

The engine

See full engine specs

With 592bhp and 590lb ft of torque, the RSQ8 can blast from 0-62mph in 3.8sec and delivers immense overtaking power. You get a growling V8 soundtrack and a wonderfully bassy exhaust note, too, but fuel economy isn't a strong point, even when you drive gently.
