Audi has built a name on fast wagons and now, with the RSQ8, they're hoping those expertise and that reputation translates into success in the world of unnecessarily powerful SUVs.
The Q8 was never what we would have described as slow, even with a diesel-burner under the bonnet. But moderate performance doesn't cut it in a world where the BMW X5M, Mercedes-AMG GLE 63, Range Rover Sport SVR, Porsche Cayenne Turbos and Jaguar F-Pace SVR are all vying for motorists' moolah.
And so the RSQ8 borrows heavily from the Audi RS6, with the same twin-turbo, 4.0-litre V8 up front, driving all four wheels. Air suspension is standard and some huge wheels are on offer; our test unit was riding on 23inch alloys!
Our video guy Ciro De Siena had the Killarney racetrack in Cape Town all to himself which allowed him to make use of all those kilowatts and Newton's meters, to bring you this review.
