The Ultimate Do-Everything SUVs
2024 Audi Q8, S Q8, and RS Q8
As winter sets in, many of us trade in our track toys for more season-friendly rides. But what if you didn’t have to? What if your ‘winter’ vehicle could still handle track days, tow the boat, tackle snowy backroads, and even conquer a ski trip with ease? Enter the Audi Q8 lineup: the Q8, S Q8, and the show-stopping RS Q8.
These SUVs are built to do it all. With up to 1,719 liters of cargo space, a towing capacity of 7,700 lbs., adaptive air suspension for extra ground clearance, and Audi’s iconic Quattro AWD, they’re as versatile as it gets. Add in four-wheel steering for precise handling, and you’ve got a winter warrior that feels just as at home on the track as it does off-road.
The RS Q8 stands out with its 4.0L twin-turbo V8, boosted by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to produce a staggering 631 horsepower. This powerhouse rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in a jaw-dropping 3.2 seconds. Tested right here at VIMC, the RS Q8 delivers unbelievable agility and balance on the track while maintaining exceptional stability on rugged terrain. Oh, and it just so happens to be the fastest production SUV ever to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Prefer silent speed and electric power? The S Q8 e-Tron offers a refined, all-electric alternative for those seeking eco-friendly performance.
Whether you’re hitting the slopes, the trails, or the apex, the Audi Q8 lineup proves you really can have it all.
