Audi Presents Two Most Powerful SUV Models From The Q8 Series, Here Are The Specifications

JAKARTA - Nine months after the launch of the facelift Q8, Audi is now expanding the ranks of this model by presenting a refresher at the Q8 Hospital and Q8 Performance Hospital as the highest type in this series.

Launching from Carscoops, Tuesday, June 25, the manufacturer has equipped it with a braking disc device measuring 420 mm times 10-piston in front and rear measuring 370 mm for RS Q8. Meanwhile, the Q8 Performance Hospital variant has a carbon brake disk of 440 mm up front and 370 mm as standard.

In the Performance variant, the brakes will be covered by 23-inch light-alloy rims which weigh lighter than the standard 22-inch size.

By exterior design, both of them have similarities with standard Q8, namely having the use of a single-frame goal which now has an eight-sided element. The front air channel also gets a redesign to optimize vehicle performance in terms of aerodynamics.

Like other new Audi models, both Q8 Hospital and Performance are now equipped with advanced HD Matrix headlights, including the High Beam laser beam which will be automatically activated when the vehicle reaches 70 km/hour.

The manufacturer with the 'four rings' logo will also be offered with three RS designs in red, gray, and blue at the interior. This package includes an alcantara steering wheel, a microfiber dynamics-coated console, and an aggressive sports seat.

In order to support the pleasure of driving, Audi provides electromechanical active roll stabilization to reduce lateral movement of the body. The system consists of two small electric motors stationed between two parts of the stabilizer and, in a straight line, both parts are removed to reduce body movements on uneven roads.

This tool can work when the maneuvered car turns, making the motor rotate stabilizer in the opposite direction to each other, thereby reducing the slope. All models of RS Q8 will be present in driving all wheels (AWD) as standard.

In terms of performance, these two models have a 4.0 liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The Q8 Hospital model has 592 dk of power and 800 Nm of torque so that it can run from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds with a maximum speed of 250 km/hour.

Meanwhile, RS Q8 Performance has a powerful power of 632 dk and 850 Nm torque which can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds with the highest speed reaching 280 km/h. Audi claims that this is the most powerful ICE-production machine in brand history. In order to satisfy the desire of car lovers, this SUV is given a disposal system that produces more sound than usual.
