Audi RS Q8 Performance in short
The RS Q8 Performance is the fastest SUV Audi sells in India: 640 PS from a 4.0L twin-turbo V8, imported as a CBU since February 2025 at ₹2.338 crore, monospec. This is the same engine family that powers the Lamborghini Urus, in Audi's own top SUV. Nothing from BMW or Mercedes-AMG currently matches its output in India — cross-shopping happens against the Porsche Cayenne's upper reaches and the Urus itself, at far greater money.
