⚠ Not every limit could be checked: the manufacturer publishes no payload or GCM for this vehicle, so this verdict rests only on the limits that are published.
Estimate only: consumption rises as range falls; real use varies with terrain, wind and load.
Off-Road Capability
The wedges are drawn from this vehicle’s published approach, departure and breakover angles, and the water line marks its published wading depth.
Unladen figures. Approach, departure and breakover angles and ground clearance all reduce once the vehicle is loaded with passengers, cargo or towball weight, so treat these as a best-case guide.

Overview
The 2026 Audi RSQ8 Performance is a 5-seat petrol SUV with AWD and an 8-speed auto, making 471kW and 850Nm with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 3.6 seconds. It's priced from $257,227 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs are added. Audi quotes fuel use of 12.2L/100km combined, the boot holds 605 litres with the seats up, and it's rated to tow 3,500kg braked. The catch is there's no ANCAP rating on record for this variant, so you'll want to keep that in mind. It suits someone after a big, quick family SUV that can still haul a boat or caravan.

The 2022 Audi RS Q8 is the performance flagship of Audi Australia's Q8 range, sold new here and now trading used. A 3,996 cc twin-turbo V8 with cylinder on demand and a 48V mild-hybrid system makes 441 kW at 6,000 rpm and 800 Nm from 2,200-4,500 rpm, through an eight-speed tiptronic and quattro with a self-locking centre differential and a sport differential on the rear axle. Audi quotes 3.8 seconds to 100 km/h and a 250 km/h limiter, 12.1 L/100km and 276 g/km CO2 on the ADR 81/02 combined cycle (calculated on the standard 23-inch wheels), and a 2,315 kg unladen weight that includes a 75 kg driver. It tows 3,500 kg braked with a 350 kg ball weight. Standard chassis hardware is unusually complete: RS sport adaptive air suspension, electromechanical active roll stabilisation, dynamic variable-ratio steering, all-wheel steering that shrinks the turning circle by about a metre, and the RS high-performance brakes with red callipers. Inside there are heated and ventilated Valcona leather RS sport seats, heated rear seats, four-zone climate, a 12.3-inch virtual cockpit plus, a 10.1-inch MMI touch display with a separate 8.6-inch climate screen, a head-up display and a 17-speaker 730 W Bang & Olufsen 3D system. Transcribed from Audi Australia's own MY22 specification guide, which publishes no exterior dimensions or boot volumes.
