## Highlights

- 631bhp 4.0-litre biturbo V8
- 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds, 189mph derestricted
- Shares its platform with the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Bentayga
- Five seats and 605 litres of boot space
- Active anti-roll bars and rear-wheel steering

## How does it relate to the Urus?

They share a platform, a 4.0-litre V8 architecture, air suspension, 48-volt active anti-roll bars and rear-wheel steering. The Lamborghini is tuned louder and more aggressively and carries the badge people notice; the Audi is quieter, more comfortable and considerably cheaper to hire. Mechanically, the gap is much smaller than the price difference implies.

## Is it comfortable?

Yes, more so than most performance SUVs. The air suspension has genuine travel and the active anti-roll system decouples on a straight road, so the ride settles rather than fidgeting. The cabin is quiet at motorway speed. Cars on 23-inch wheels ride noticeably firmer, and we will tell you which wheel the actual car is on.

## What does it cost to hire?

A refundable deposit near £3,500 and a matching excess are typical. Mileage is 12,000 miles a year with roughly £1.50 a mile beyond. Longer bookings bring the daily figure down.

## Who tends to hire it?

People who want the Urus experience without the Urus rate, and businesses needing a discreet but quick five-seat car for a few days. It is a common choice for corporate event work, where five people and their luggage have to move quickly between sites without the car becoming the topic of conversation.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire an Audi RS Q8 in the UK?

Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through partners rather than supplying it ourselves, and we confirm a named car and your dates before anything is agreed.

### Is the RS Q8 the same as a Lamborghini Urus?

Not the same, but closely related. They share a platform, a V8 engine architecture and much of the suspension hardware. The Urus is more powerful and more theatrical; the RS Q8 is quieter and less expensive to hire.

### How many seats does an RS Q8 have?

Five, with around 605 litres of boot space behind them. There is no seven-seat option on the RS Q8.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer.
