Heart of the Beast: The Engine and All-Wheel Drive System
At the core of the 2025 Audi RS Q8 Performance lies a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, enhanced with lightweight components for maximum effect. This powerhouse generates a jaw-dropping 621 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque—53 lb-ft more torque than its predecessor. This engineering tweak allows the RS Q8 Performance to rocket from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 3.6 seconds, ensuring no shortage of adrenaline for drivers.
Paired with this remarkable engine is Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system with a center differential, distributing power between the front and rear axles as needed for optimal traction and precision. Regardless of adverse weather conditions or dynamic driving flourishes, this system ensures the RS Q8 Performance stays responsive and composed.
