Novice SUV with 631 horsepower

Audi has unveiled the 2025 RS Q8 Performance, an SUV that promises to redefine the boundaries of luxury and power. With a new flagship model delivering 631 horsepower, the RS Q8 Performance enters Lamborghini Urus territory, demonstrating Audi’s commitment to pushing the limits of its high-performance vehicles.

Power increase

The 2025 Audi RS Q8 Performance gives the existing RS Q8 even more power. The new model boasts a significant power boost, with its 4.0-liter V8 now producing 631 horsepower and 880 Nm of torque. That is an increase of 40 hp compared to the standard RS Q8, placing it just below the Lamborghini Urus, which delivers 657 horsepower.

The Performance model also comes with standard 22-inch wheels, with an option to upgrade to larger 23-inch wheels. The larger wheels reduce unsprung mass by approximately 20 kg, further improving the SUV’s performance. Braking is handled by 10-piston front calipers and carbon-ceramic rotors, which come standard on the Performance model.
