Design











Standard Carbon twill matte inlays offer a sleek, motorsport-inspired touch or opt for Aluminum brush diagonal inlay finished in black, for the modern feel.
The exterior of the RS Q8 performance reflects the power within, featuring large air intakes, a Singleframe® honeycomb grille, and a prominent rear diffuser with dual oval RS exhaust tips. HD Matrix-design LED headlights with Audi laser light have customizable signatures, while digital OLED taillights ensure grand exits.
The RS design plus packages come in red or blue. The blue version includes full-coloured seatbelts, while the red features red-edged seatbelts. Both include features such as extended leather throughout the cabin and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and center console with contrast stitching.
The Carbon matte optic package adds a touch of noir to the exterior of the RS Q8 performance. It features a carbon matte front spoiler, Singleframe grille mask, mirror housings, and a black optic exterior kit. 23" 5-Y-spoke design wheels in matte black finish are the perfect finishing touch.
Sport seats plus take comfort and support to the next level, with front seats wrapped in supple Valcona leather with honeycomb stitching and an embossed RS logo. Heat, ventilation, and standard massage function ensure maximum comfort every time you drive.
