Finally the fastest SUV around the Green Hell has arrived, the Audi RS Q8

This year Audi revealed its fast edition of the Q8 and we know it as the SQ8 TDI. In the hierarchy of Audi there's an even more powerful superlative and today we can meet it. Welcome the Audi RS Q8, the fastest SUV around the Nürburgring.

While the Audi SQ8 is a diesel, the RS Q8 summons his power from a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 petrol engine with mild-hybrid system. The total amount is a whopping 600 pk and 800 Nm torque, exact the same as the Audi RS6 Avant and RS7.

His brother in arm, the Lamborghini Urus, has the same top speed as the RS Q8, 305 km/u. But in a sprint to 100 km/u the Audi loses by 0,2 seconds. The Audi needs 3,8 seconds to get to 100 km/u and 13,7 seconds to hit 200 km/u. Fast enough in a big SUV like this if you ask us.

The normal Q8 is a sexy car! But thanks to the aggressive styling, oval exhaust tips, carbon-details and standard 22-inch wheels this RS Q8 really is one hot piece of metal! On the inside, you can enjoy leather and Alcantara! The seats on the photos are the optional sports seats in Valcona leather with a honeycomb pattern. A sporty digital instrument cluster comes as standard.

The Belgian price is still unknown but in Germany this beauty starts at 127.000 euros. For that price, you will not get this green-color and that is a must! It's the only way to be green in this car.
