Audi has announced the 2020 RS Q8 will be priced from $113,000 – excluding a $995 destination charge.
Set to arrive at dealerships shortly, the model is Audi’s latest high-performance crossover and it features a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 591 hp (441 kW / 599 PS) and 590 lb-ft (799 Nm) of torque.
The engine is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission which sends power to a rear-biased quattro all-wheel drive system. This setup enables the RS Q8 to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.7 seconds and onto a top speed of up to 190 mph (205 km/h).

The performance features don’t end there as the crossover comes equipped with all-wheel steering, active roll stabilization and a quattro sport rear differential. The model also has an adaptive air suspension and available carbon ceramic brakes.
On the styling front, the RS Q8 looks the part as designers gave the model a unique front end with a honeycomb mesh grille and an alu-optic front spoiler. The crossover also has an aggressive rear bumper, oval exhaust tips and 22-inch alloy wheels wrapped in summer tires.
An assortment of options will be available including red brake calipers, 23-inch wheels and a Black Optic package. The latter adds black exterior accents and black 23-inch wheels. Customers can also opt for a Carbon Optic package which adds carbon fiber to the grille surround, mirrors, front spoiler and rear bumper.
The interior largely carries over, but there are handful of RS-specific touches including unique displays for the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Drivers will also find a heated sport steering wheel with aluminum paddle shifters and RS sport seats wrapped with Valcona leather. The model also has a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D Sound System.
Options include a head-up display, a 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced Sound System and a Luxury package. The latter adds an Alcantara headliner, power rear window sunshades, and Nappa leather accents on the center console, armrests and instrument panel.
