The RS Q8 Performance is the most powerful SUV Audi sells in India. 

The Audi RS Q8 Performance has been launched in India at ₹2.49 crore (ex-showroom, India). The high-performance SUV will be available in India in limited numbers and is the most powerful SUV the brand sells in India. 

The high-performance version of the Audi Q8 comes with a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine churning out a massive 632 bhp and 850 Nm, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission driving all four wheels. Audi claims the RS Q8 can do 0-100 kmph in 3.6 seconds and it has a top speed of 305 kmph. 

The RS Q8 Performance looks largely the same as the standard model but comes with a few performance mods. The RS Q8 Performance gets a larger grille, bigger air intakes in the front bumper, larger wheels, a bigger diffuser and blacked-out exhaust pipes. It also gets Matrix LED headlights, like the regular Q8.

Inside, it looks quite similar to the standard Q8. It still gets a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen with a second 8.5-inch touchscreen for controlling the HVAC. It also gets a 12.3-inch virtual instrument cluster. Apart from this, the RS Q8 Performance gets an all-black interior with red accents on the seats, doors and steering wheel. 

The RS Q8 rivals the BMW XM (₹2.60 crore) and Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe (₹1.87 crore). It is ₹11 lakh cheaper than the BMW and ₹62 lakh more expensive than the Mercedes.
