Behold the new Audi RSQ8 Performance, boasting a beefed-up engine, fresh exterior tweaks, and revamped interior color options. In a thrilling showdown, carwow pits this powerhouse against the Lamborghini Urus, questioning if the RSQ8 truly outshines the Italian stallion. As the team delves under the cars at Philip Island Performance Cars, uncovering a surprising number of shared VW parts, it becomes clear these rivals may have more in common than meets the eye.
With both beasts housing the same 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine, the RSQ8 flexes 640 horsepower while the Urus roars with 666. Acceleration tests reveal neck-and-neck performance, but the RSQ8 shines in braking capabilities. Design-wise, the RSQ8 flaunts a bold new grille and carbon fiber accents, while the Urus exudes a sleek, sporty aura with its angular lines and vibrant yellow paint job.
Inside the cabins, the RSQ8 offers Alcantara touches for a sporty feel, but the Urus oozes luxury with a flamboyant two-tone color scheme. Despite the Urus' higher price tag, it delivers a more premium ambiance. The RSQ8, however, excels in rear passenger comfort and practicality, boasting a larger boot space and innovative features like a retractable boot cover. Sound and comfort tests reveal the Urus to be marginally quieter and more refined, adding to its allure as a high-end SUV.
